That sub was so toxic x_x
Yeah I personally loved the idea of it. But it was clearly just an alt-right dog whistle.
If a bar accepts everyone, they accept Nazis, and if a bar accepts Nazis then it is a Nazi bar.
"political orientation" is just the grouping and dilution of personal opinion. Change my mind.
I agree to a point, but I think there is some value in summarizing your views. I rarely have time to go into minute detail about my opinions when taking to people.
As an economic right libertarian, I agree with your morals / social ideas, but disagree on the point of fiscal policy. The problem today is that everyone with right-leaning fiscal policies (not to be related in any way to the social or moral "right wing") is either forced to abandon their fiscal ideas for the side of morality (the left / democratic party), or become a monster to align with a group that supports their fiscal ideas (the far right / republican party). That's why we need a party for those who support more hands-off government regulation, but decent morals regarding inclusivity, diversity, LGBTQ+ support, etc... Of course, America's political system is too screwed at this point for that to ever happen, so I vote democrat to not let the (Extreme) Christian (Bigoted) Republican Theocracy get their way... Because our economy is already too far gone anyways, so I'd rather live through a collapse and have decent morals, than live through the same collapse as the first stage to a recover, but return to the 1700s...
the political compass is complete bullshit, even if the results were as "accurate" as possible (which they very much aren't)
Yeah but it says I'm exactly where I wanted to be out so it must be perfect /s
I think the ONLY useful way to use it is how I do, which is just every couple of years to track how my own views and beliefs have changed throughout me aging (still just for fun/personal interest!). It's not perfect but it can at least measure the change in a single person. To nobodies surprise I started bottom left, close to centre 10 years ago, and now I'm significantly closer to the bottom left corner
Only -8.51???
