I'm starting to see a leftie bias on this website, I re-did the test and now suddenly I'm where Trump is, even though before I was half-way in the right and in the middle.
I find it funny how Bernie is the "rational person" in the middle and all of the rest are "fearmongeringly bigoted" in the absolute edge.
except that's probably where they stand politically. it is a fact that the political standard in the U.S. has shifted to the right and become more authoritarian and colonialist.
Christian Walker
also clinton is closer to the top
Wyatt Turner
How did I do?
Michael Ward
People still go on that bullshit site? Yea it's bias, it's been bias for awhile now.
Samuel Johnson
literally this
Cooper Bell
It seems a bit more accurate if you remove the irrelevant ones though.
Lincoln Cook
Trump is not authoritarian. He's far less authoritarian than Bernie *take wealth from white people at gunpoint* Sanders.
Complete bullshit. Trump more authoritarian than Hilary Clinton? What the fuck?
Wyatt King
>tfw u want to introduce socialized healthcare >tfw u want to expand government and put a perfectly good business fueled by competition and the free market into the hands of the fucking LITERAL GOVERNMENT >tfw u are left wing neutral
i mean u lost me tb,h

The authoritarian/libertarian scale refers to social policy. The left/right spectrum is where policies like taxation are factored in.
Caleb Harris
>Not being bottom right
Bootlicking scum
Isaac Jones
>le taxes are theft meme but legalizing torture and rounding up and deporting millions of people isn't authoritarian
Camden Thompson
...
Connor Young
The Aut/Lib spectrum is social policy for this table.
So being pro-gay marriage and pro-abortion will get you further down
Brayden Thomas
...
Jack Fisher
Still not authoritarian. >Forcing people to accept gay marriage is Libertarian >Not caring about gay marriage and letting states decide themselves is Authoritarian
>Hating white people and actively discriminating against them with affirmative action is Libertarian >Not caring about race issues and simply letting people achieve what they can themselves is Authoritarian
>Forcing the taxpayers to pay for millions of immigrants who bring crime is Libertarian >Not wanting the tax payer to be burdened with illegal immigrants and ''refugees'' is Authoritarian What the fuck? Whichever way you slice it this doesn't make any sense.
Isaac Perry
...
Christian Wilson
its made by British socialists, so it should be obvious that there is a weird skew putting people authoritarian-right
Julian Torres
It's impossible to go so high up in that test
Nolan Cruz
Oh yeah, having laws is Authoritarian. Wouldn't want to be Authoritarian and enforce those laws.
Ian Young
Nice twisting it to sound like how you want. It's generally understood that a fixed set of policies are one direction or the other. I accept that property rights is generally considered a libertarian policy by accepted definitions. I could very make the case that actually access rights are far more libertarian. It would be a legitimate argument but generally isn't the definition of libertarianism. The last point you made is barely even a discussion though. Obviously free movement rights are fundamental to almost every strand of libertarianism.
Levi Ramirez
Fascist pig!
Brandon Foster
>rounding up and deporting millions of people isn't authoritarian
No, deporting illegal aliens is not authoritarian. Having borders is not authoritarian. If, since 1986, the border patrol and ICE had been properly funded and allowed to do their jobs then we wouldn't have millions of illegal aliens in the country right now. This is a problem which politicians have consistently kicked down the hallway for generations and the solution is neither amnesty nor open borders.
Tl;dr: fuck off we're full
Joseph Richardson
Trump is way to the left of Clinton economically
Jayden Martinez
here's where i roleplayed as trump
i wonder if this site actually did the same for the candidates. i doubt it.
you forgot one
Colton Ortiz
Who did I forget? They're the only ones left in the race. Joe Biden will only come in if Hillary gets indicted.
Ayden Lewis
You just said a bunch of nothing. It's very clear that this spectrum is biased to put undesirable opinions as ''authoritarian''.
This spectrum doesn't care about how you enforce your political stances, it simply looks at your stances and says ''I don't think it, therefore it's authoritarian''. Don't like gays? You're authoritarian. You're pro-gay and you are arresting people for daring to offend gay people? You're not authoritarian. It's as simple as that.
Lincoln Howard
Only since becoming the presumptive nominee.
Jonathan Harris
If you are above the line, you disgrace those who fought to protect liberty throughout history. You should be ashamed.
Hunter Rogers
This is my position btw.
Nathaniel Adams
This. Unless the candidates actually took the test then dont say thats where they fall
Tyler White
>Bernie is the rational person
Bernbots have a loaded debt gun in their mouth and the trigger is about to be pulled. I'd imagine anyone not offering to wave away their debts looks extreme from their point of view.
Nicholas Scott
its a shill compass, if you reply reasonnably you get exactly where sanders is.
Xavier Ross
No, it's only authoritarian to enforce laws which the left dislikes. Forcing hiring quotas for women and minorities on private businesses, imprisoning Christians for not embracing homosexuality, shutting down free speech on campus, media and Internet censorship, criminalization of "hate speech" (and redefinition of all non-leftist views as "hate speech"), making self-defense illegal, banning cigarettes, sugar, salt, and transfats, raising income tax rates to 75-90%, ending homeschooling and school-choice, these are all good laws in the eyes of the left, and totally not authoritarian
Colton Johnson
found the bernie supporter
Oliver Gomez
Yeah the site has a total leftist bias. IDK if the question still exists but there was a question about gun rights worded funny and it counted toward authoritarian...
I actually emailed the site owner and asked him about the question and he said something along the lines of: "people who advocate for gun rights are advocates for violence in the political process, that's authoritarian". That was maybe 5 years ago now and the site has been around for much longer than that.
So yeah, total leftist bias.
Henry Butler
bernie literally has no chance
Jaxon Foster
So if I wanted to create and absolute monarchy where the working class is riddled with slave gene eugenics from birth, disabled people are killed, and the ruling class is a distinct separate species how would that even register on here? Because they already set the bar for the top right corner pretty fucking low. Where's their fucking imagination?
Wyatt Flores
Technically, he could make up the delegate difference just by winning big in california alone. Far more likely to win through some kind of chaos at the convention involving Hillary getting indicted though. It's unlikely either way but it's certainly not impossible.
Wyatt White
Anarcho-capitalism, or the rest of anarchuism? (as all the leftist anarchist ideaologies are compatible with each other, but not with anarcho-capitalism)
Kevin Wright
I had him over to the right a few blocks
Samuel Wilson
Californian delegates are awarded proportionally. It's impossible.
Parker Phillips
The funny thing is I have been a Lou Dobbs conservative (I.e. Trump before he ran) since 2008 and I have always got about one or two squares up and to the right of center, because choosing a mix of "far left" and "far right" positions balances out to a counterintuitive centrist rating. The four-way spectrum doesn't really represent populism well, whether it's right or left populism.
Example: anti-gay, anti-illegal alien, pro-drug decriminalization, pro-gun is about a net wash for social libertarian/authoritarian; Anti-taxes, anti-federal reserve, anti-"free trade" deals, pro-tariff is a net wash for economic right/left
So there is literally no way that they took the quiz role playing as the politicians or parties, they just put dots and names on their little map
Angel Ross
Yeah, where would Edmund Burke or Andrew Jackson go on that map?
Gabriel Stewart
How did I do?
Ryder Jackson
>"people who advocate for gun rights are advocates for violence in the political process, that's authoritarian".
Fucking insane bongladeshi shitstabbers

That site is a joke

I am literally a fascist who believes in mix of national syndicalist corporatism and a Nationalist libertarian form of economics (somewhat similar to what Hayek had in mind)
I even answered pro protectionism and the like.
I think the problem is, the majority of Sup Forums isn't as authoritarian and isn't as free market as it seems to believe.
I am a fascist.
Leo Reyes

Daniel Hill
>the majority of Sup Forums isn't as authoritarian and isn't as free market as it seems to believe.
pol isn't one person, but you can't really be libertarian and a nationalist, it's just a fringe ideology
Alexander Barnes
Trump isn't near that authoritarian and sanders is a lot further to the left, i mean, he's literally a socialist
Evan Roberts
You actually believe in astrology?
Justin Clark
>starting to see a leftie bias
Only starting? We've known that site has a left bias for years.
Noah Foster
I mean you can, that's the bedrock of conservatis/radical conservatism And especially paleoconservatism.
The good of the nation and the nation being put first, using economic freedom to create wealth and the like but never to the point where the nation or its people suffer as a consequence from the economic freedom (such as through competition from foreign companies.)
Oh and pic related is what I get from trying to answer the test as Donald trump.
Landon Garcia
The site literally puts you more right if you only answer questions as racistly as possible.
Jaxson Lewis
Nationalizing the healthcare industry, regulating banks, and free public university isn't super left. He's fine with the vast majority of the economy to remain private and free market.
Xavier Walker
Nope.
I do believe in a form of totalitarianism though,

He's not really a full blown socialist, he just uses that to be edgy and pick up all of the communist college kids.

William Brown
I thought you needed to believe in astrology to score that highly on authoritarianism.
Sebastian Russell
What are the two at the bottom? Something about egoism?
Connor Walker
>astrology -> ??? -> authoritarianism
Elijah Hernandez
The idea is that believing in astrology means you believe that the universe is more deterministic and governed by laws in such a manner that this authority and mechanical view is inescapable and that this belief correlates with other authoritarian beliefs about control and the like.
Hudson Baker
Do we all agree that pic related is less biased?
Landon Long
yes
Aaron Cook
>even shitty political compass websites have an agenda
How deep does the rabbit hole go?
Angel Flores

Isaiah Ortiz
the fact that reddit cucks consider me a hate mongering racist is pretty scary
Jason Reyes
That's still stupid. They should replace it with something more related to authoritarianism.
Liam Ross
I particularly enjoy this test because it isn't about questions in a survey style, but allows you to position society in the best way that you see fit. Which honestly seems like it'd give a far more accurate representation of what you want.
Basically I'm an atheist authoritarian who knows free market and communism is for retards.
Luis Sanchez
Thanks
Nathan Williams
This test is fucked btw we really need to quit using it
David Edwards
Highest authoritian probably either at the furthest left or furthest right.
Owen Russell
thanks
Benjamin Ortiz
But would you not agree there is a higher than average correlation between atheism and communism? And would you not agree that life in a completely free market society is preferable to soviet style complete communism?
Anthony Scott
Many thanks
