Politics: Where do You Stand?

You can take this test to see what your position on the political compass is: http://www.politicalcompass.org/test

I ended up a lot more on the left than I thought, but I'm still pretty centrist. I was wondering where everyone else fell.

I'm just gonna copy over my results from The Otaku.

Makes sense...

Hehe, it's interesting that everyone always seems to end up in the green bit. I've only once seen someone end up int he blue.

Aw..I was hoping that I am not like everyone else. Darn.

**Ryvius** · 11-08-2009, 09:47 AM

Yeah, that's not really surprising.

Socialists! You're all a bunch of socialists! XD

Good post.

Not sure if this should be in the Serious Discussions forum, though.

Edit:
OK, I am taking the little quiz thing, and I came across this question:
"Abstract art that doesn't represent anything shouldn't be considered art at all."

For some reason that made me laugh, considering Hitler had classified abstract art (Dada, Surrealism) "degenerate art" and thus banned it. I wonder how many others share that same notion?

Edit 2:

I have to say that this might be something I carry around for people inquiring about my political stance. Succinct, and right to the point.

And I don't have stand there and argue for thirty minutes.

I wanna see someone come in with a hitler style graph :-P

**Mellusia** · 11-08-2009, 12:22 PM

Whoa, what a shock :P

Although I did answer a few questions that probably would be in favour of conservatives than liberals *shrugs*

Well, I was thinking 'polics = serious = srs bsns'.

It's remarkable to see how many people end up in the green bit. Kind of shows the socio-political demographic of the people who attend this kind of forums. I would have expected myself to end up much more conservative than I did; I'm pretty surprised by my own score.

Are more people surprised by their own scores or did you end up exactly where you thought you would?

Well, we had someone post this test on The Otaku a few days before it was on here, and everyone that took it there got in the green, too.
Maybe it's just the culture of the generation.

Or maybe the stupid quiz is broken :-/

That's possible, too.

The results of the quiz doesn't surprise me at all, considering who we all are, and the things that we're into. Our demographic is typically very liberal, despite how conservative we think we are.

I hear you. I'm actually a bit more conservative. It's just that I feel that, for the most part, people can do what they want in regards to things like marijuana and gay marriage, even though I don't personally approve of it.

I'm honestly not very involved with politics and I spent a lot of time on the quiz since some questions made me think for a while. And also some questions weren't all that comprehensible, but that's just me >.<
