@"beez", Imagine that!  A Commie fighting tooth and nail to prevent Communism from taking over in our country.  

I land about here. 

Here’s mine: Not the least bit surprising. I own what I am.

Hey folks, as i positioned as far to the left as the scale went, i feel like i need to make some points clear.

1. I do not want to take away guns from the fine people of U.S.A

2. 2016 elections, Trump any day, before KILLary. 2020 elections, Trump any day before Biden.

3. I dislike Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

4. Antifa is a bunch of violent dickheads who claim to be anti-fascist but use 100% fascist methods of action and behavior in general.

5. Trying to smoke out the POTUS from the white house based on false claims and outright lying is nasty. You hear me there, Pelosi.

There. Do i fit back into the rogue posse now?

Why do you have to apologize? We are what we we are and agree to disagree. You are cool in my book.

You know, I don't judge anyone on their beliefs, I judge people on their character. 

Good person, cool. Bad person, bad. Pretty simple.

I pretty much know why I think and feel the way I do,  I guess that is why I become so inquisitive when others have a different opinion. 

I find it is more difficult to have civil conversations today because many seem to think asking them why they feel the way they do, is a direct personal attack.

I was really put in my place a while back when I tried to explain, I was asking, because I didn't see it the same way, and was hoping they could make me see the errors in my thinking. I was told that no one gave a damn about what I thought, and I was part of the problem, if I couldn't see that Trump was the only person that could get us out of this mess and save our country. 

Now the day before my soon to be sister-in-law informed me that Trump was Satan himself, and we were all doomed if we didn't get him out of the White House. 

Both were red faced angry ready to go ballistic. There was only recourse for me. I poured them a glass of wine,  and one for myself. I sat down and asked, "Rummikub"?

This is the thing with politics nowadays and people too invested in it, you can rarely have a normal conversation, and if you are opposed in beliefs to someone, suddenly that relationship can change, it's happened to me over and over, as soon as someone finds out where I lean.
When I post on a left leaning place, it's upvotes galore and people being overly friendly as long as I tow the line. I really can't stand that shit, there's nothing honest about an echo chamber, it just becomes a place of mass delusion. I'd rather be in a place where people dislike me and there's a few like me or who don't give a damn where I sit.

I am much like you at the end there, I'm not gonna fight you over your beliefs, they're yours and mine are mine, but I'm still interested in you, lets have some fun instead.

I had to look up what Rummikub was

@"hounddoghowlie" 

I was always a bit miffed why a neutral option was never there, I suppose they are trying to force agreement and disagreement because that is better for the results.

Left does not = Communism though, your result is pretty Centred all in all.

Finn, no need to apologize where you land, as kdog says, own who you are. Most lefties aren't the Caricature we are painted as, same with the right, don't fall for the nonsense!

Tell me about it ...


I went back today and took this ... copying the questions I felt distort the outcome.

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations. (what if you don't see globalization as even a remote possibility?)
 
There is now a worrying fusion of information and entertainment. (what does this even mean?)
 
People are ultimately divided more by class than by nationality. (just a rigged question)
 
Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment. (wut? how do you pick between those two evils?)
 
Land shouldn’t be a commodity to be bought and sold. (another rigged question)
 
The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders. (stoopid.  companies don't have responsibilities to anything.  they're companies.  but, this survey turns them into ... what? ... people?)
 
Abortion, when the woman’s life is not threatened, should always be illegal. (rigged question.  and, I think the only one related to the subject.)
 
Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers. (should have read, "a woman's place is in her daddy's home, unless she's barefoot and pregnant in her husband's home.  then we could answer it fairly.)
 
Multinational companies are unethically exploiting the plant genetic resources of developing countries. (wut?)
 
Charity is better than social security as a means of helping the genuinely disadvantaged. (should have substituted a picture of a Spartan cliff, with the disadvantaged being shoved over into the Valley of the Bones below.)

At least none of you can accuse me of being too far to the right or too authoritarian ... ever again. -chuckle @"beez"

It needs a neutral option for sure, I just think they want definitive answers so it's easier to place people. It's mostly just a bit of fun in the end, I mean I am left and Libertarian but obviously with a neutral option and a more thorough test, I'd be in a different spot as would we all.

Gotcha!!

@"DuckforcoveR",  It will change. I took the test again and changed a few of my answers. It still put me almost where @"Snarl" landed. It moved, but not by much.
