I'm going to make a poll about what political affiliation you are.

This is mainly to find out why everyone on this forum already hates me so much. As i suspect it's probably 'coz everyone on this board is a leftist.

Moderate. The main reason people hate you is because you post things that are abrasive and designed to piss people off.

You are disliked because you come across as an opinionated idiot. Not because of your political views.

No they ain't.

Anyway, I'm usually left of centre although I have some slight libertarian socialist sympathies.

Well,no,not everyone is a leftist.Plenty of conservatives,it's just leftyism is the norm here.However,with your recent thread of "whining liberals" it's understandable why everyone is holding you in bad taste.

No, it's because you're a jerk :fluffle:

And I don't fit on any one-dimensional political spectrum, so I'm gonna say "skew."

You are making a thread about political orientation to find out why people ask you to back up your opinion?

Oh-kay....

Other. I'm a primitivist ethic nationalist, among other things. I don't believe in freedom, liberalism, libertarianism, islamism, christianism, atheism, democracy, republicanism, capitalism, marxism, industry or science. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm a leftist, I would be a fascist.

Yea, but your poll seems to be showing that this is not the case, thus proving you wrong.

oh, I also don't think hypocrisy is necessarily a bad thing, or something to automatically be avoided :)

Still, you're not one of those primmos that thinks that we should all go back to hunter-gatherer societies are you? Because we can't you know. Not all of us anyway.

To answer the question posed by the OP, NSG has always been left of center, although there is a sizable minority of right libertarians. Anything even smelling of authoritarianism is simply not tolerated.

I am actually, but I recognize it would take thousands if not millions of years for that to happen. Population would have to be drastically decreased first for one thing, which is what I assume you're referring to.

No, I was referring to the fact that I need the internet. I need porn and death metal. I need funny clips of squirrels harrassing cats. I could not live otherwise.

Also, I'm quite squemish and wouldn't do well in a primitivist society.

This was a better informed poll; and whilst it may seem that it backs up your point, you should respect others opinions and listen to them; the consequence may be that you are listened to yourself:

well unless you're planning on living for thousands of years you'll be safe. Our ancestors survived as hunter gatherers, so our descendents, if they're smart, should be able to as well. Broken people like us with long lifespans and comforting lives and long distance travel and agriculture and science and so on are just a weird temporary glitch in the middle.

fascism is technically neither left or right.

I don't understand why anyone would voluntarily go back to a hunter-gatherer society. Life is much, much, much more pleasant in the modern era than it was several thousand years ago. Longer lifespans, better nutrition, more entertainment, not living meal to meal, modern medicine... Why leave all that behind? Life as a hunter-gatherer is brutal, painful, and about a third as long as life as a modern human being (at best). I can't imagine a significant proportion of the species subjecting itself to that voluntarily.

I'm extreme far left-wing. In fact, I'm at the extreme fringe of the extreme far left-wing.
