Everyone here but me is a lib
Did they take all of it down or something? I get errors on OPs link and even when I found a link on pew to the quiz it just loads some other page.
This came out in 2021 (I'm Outside Left last I checked)
Like all political alignment tests the logic is always backwards. If I answered half these questions as asked it would probably tell me I'm a republican. The Pokemon mystery dungeon personality test is better than this.
Question 1: Do you like big chungus government, or small bean government?
What does that mean exactly? Big military? Social programs? I want the government to do everything I want it to do and whatever "size" that requires is how big I want the government to be. If you removed military spending the government would be pretty small.
Question 3: In general, would you say experts who study a subject for many years are…
[Better, Worse, Neither] at making good policy decisions about that subject than others
Taking a random individual and educating them makes them better at policy decisions about the subject of their education, but individuals aren't selected at random, educated, and given positions of influence. They are as often as not chosen for their policy positions, then sold as a "smart choice" because of their education. Or in other words, an educated leftist is better than an uneducated one, but an educated centrist or chud is just a more smug centrist/chud. So if I say "Better" am I going to be railroaded into the establishment democrat category? If I say "Worse" or "Neither" am I going to be railroaded into the science-rejecting anti-intellectual antivax category?
Question 10: How much of a problem, if any, would you say each of the following are in the country today?
People being too easily offended by things others say
People saying things that are very offensive to others
It isn't about people being "offended". Being offended is the symptom of a disease. It's so patronizing to be told "stop being offended" when someone says something that amounts to "You are subhuman" or "Your very existence is wrong" or "You should be left to die". "Offended" yeah I wish I was "Just offended".
Question 12: In general, how much do White people benefit from advantages in society that Black people do not have?
We certainly have advantages, but I don't think I benefit from them. If I say "Don't benefit" does that mean I deny institutional racism and am against reparations and DEI? If I say "Do benefit" does that mean I recognize institutional racism but think society is a zero sum game?
