political compass

if hillary clinton is actually a right winger authoritarian then why is she running democrat then BUDDY?

 

because she's a woman

 

well that's what I'm saying
Hillary's platform is probably super close to center on an objective scale. She's a liberal with Social Democratic and Progressive values
According to their metric, she's somewhere between a ultracapitalist and a traditionalist. Does anyone actually buy that? They try to make Sanders seem more centrist than other candidates. It's an angle. Like most things.

Most economists agree that Hillary's proposed policies will be much more effective at preventing large banks from compromising the economy again than Sanders' or any of the current Republicans' plans. I don't see a reason, without of course sounding like a whiny conspiratorial child or something, why a corrupt politician would be the strictest on the people corrupting him or her.

although I believe this represents my political views semi-accurately- this compass is actually stupid. It makes literally no sense and in general is only like 5% effective. Stalin wasn't a national socialist- he was a national communist. Hitler was more than just a nationalist, I believe him more to be a fascist. Although 'Nazi' is literally national-socialism (i don't believe it was the same in practice), so it really doesn't make any sense anyways.
either way, it baffles me that it thinks that all the republican candidates are fascists, lmfao

 

The political thing I got when I retook it fell within the authoritarian line. That's pretty weird tbh, never thought of my political views as left authoritarian.

 

We find that tests like these really test cultural values more than political values, so one political scientist (Inglehart) took that idea and ran, created the Inglehart/Welzel Values Chart, which you can find
here for post soviet analysis from the late 90s (I think)
here for a more modern survey from 2010
This chart places what is essentially (to dumb it down) religiosity on the Y axis and survival vs self expression values on the X axis. If you or your family hails from a country to the left of the center of the chart, you'd be increasingly more concerned (at least statistically on a cultural level) with security and other basic government needs over the need to vote, speak freely, etc.

 

i never really thought of myself as a centrist

huh

 

I'm more right then left.
