I had no idea weaboo's were politically informed

What I meant is I like my fair taxes and the way everythings been going for the past 200+ years in America.

and excuse me but are you calling me a racist?
Yeah, man, you're totally racist. :P

Personally, I consider myself a Libertarian. And not the fake kind like Glenn Beck, who's really just a Republican (news flash: Libertarians are for economic and social freedom).

Thread encourages me to do that test again since the last one...

... Absurd result, well that was a waste of time.


Oh well, I think I can give a valid answer now there have been more posts as a sort of example... On that compass thing I would be a fair way into the authoritarian left, between Hitler and Stalin.

Repost here:

I say Liberal here in the US or the Progressive Democratic Caucus. But I would consider myself a Social Democrat.

I don't mind you making profits, but don't drag everyone into the hole just because your a greedy guy. AKA the Financial Crisis.

Yes I support a strong social safety net to the point of advocating a welfare state. But then again I kinda moderated that to just advocating for a Single-Payer Healthcare system LOL.

Also I'm a bit of an environmentalist, but not the radical absurd types. (sorry PETA =/)

Plus after taking this thing here: http://www.politicalcompass.org/
Turns out I'm a bit of a Social Libertarian eh.

Spoiler:
Most of the time I'm just dragging out leftist arguments for the sake of debates. XD I mean I'm not really a crazy peace-nik as it might seem in my posts here XD *shot*


Edit: Also I forgot to make it clear...anything outside Welfare and Social issues...I am flexible and willing to compromise.

Yes I did, what of it? And mind you, I'm very politically informed.

And you can't like someone we've never had. Hell, all 200+ years weren't all flowers and sunshine. Nixon? Hoover?
You know those people? All 200 years weren't run by the same type of people.

Um, I was basing it off the chart they provide, *claps for you*



Hm, where's Ghandi? Oh I know, almost exactly where my dot is. In fact, if you lay the two graphs over one another, Ghandi is closert to Communism than I am. o:

EpislonE failed? Impossible.
Wow it's a real inspiration to see you didn't resort to being a jerk because someone didn't read the provided chart on an inaccurate and poorly worded test.

I try to stay out of political discussions however I will just have a small say in this one.
I'm a mix, I could find a few ideals in any party or movement that i agree with. I guess I'm more right wing than left, however I could easily fall under a lot of categories.

Obviously better informed on political issues than yourself. And I can't tell if you're being sarcastic on the "weaboo" comment, but if not, take a look around, bro. You're hanging out on a pokemon forum; you're just as much of a "weaboo" as anyone else here.

And "liking your presidents white..." Yeah, you're pretty much a racist mofo.

Anyways, took the quiz. This was my result:

I found that I change very slightly over time.

In the politcal compass I'm allways in the lower left quadrant.

I was very left wing and slightly liberal but now I'm less left wing and very liberal.

I was communist in my 12-14 stage (weren't we all!) and now I'm rather liberal. I believe in Europian unification BUT NOT through the Europian Union as it is most incredibly undemocratic.I dont vote as I find it difficult to associate myself to UK political partys but if I had to it would be Liberal Democrats (but like theyd ever win an election).

As for US politics, if I lived in America (which I might after university) I would be and have always been a Democrat supporter.

Incidently my best friend (who is studying politics and history) has a bust of Karl Marx in his room. Which I regularly dress up in funny costumes. I might even post the one of him with a sombrero and poncho sometime!

I am most definitely a conservative, fiscally and socially. I see I'm in the minority in this thread thus far. x3

I see myself as a Republican with a tinge of Libertarianism, but you could kind of say I'm just your run-of-the-mill Republican, except I'm not an old white male, lol. I tend to agree with the decisions and ideas of the Republican party in the US except on a few rare occasions. I'm anti-abortion, thoroughly and utterly against the crap welfare system we have now, and I believe that you have the right to keep the money you make, and not be forced to give ridiculous amounts of it to the government especially when you don't even know what your money will be put towards. I think the bailout was the probably the worst course of action America could have taken in response to the recession. And printing more money is -totally- going to solve the crisis. Good going, Obama! /sarcasm

I am kind of iffy with gay marriage. I don't agree with it but I also think it is stupid and pointless to take away their ability to get married (I don't see marriage as a right, hence the use of the word "ability"). I figure that the issue will never concern me and so I tend to avoid it.

And sorry for the long post. I love politics so I tend to ramble about it. :]

...seems the bickering is over. I'll post now, okay?

That Political Compass test was a little misguided and often forced you to make extreme decisions on one side or the other, but it did happen to place me right around the place I figured I was, if not a little more liberal that I truly am. It's my belief that you can't endorse every facet of your political party and still be a free-thinking human being. Hence why I'm not a "bleeding-heart" liberal.

Oh, and being close to Ghandi doesn't mean you're necessarily in the right place. Sure, he was a remarkable being, but his political views might not necessarily work in the modern day. If you truly believe in all his views, then the world as you know it today would be a vastly different place... and you may not like it. That being said, being close to Hitler or Stalin isn't necessarily that bad either. While the racial beliefs held to those people might be a little extremist, let us not forget that the word, "communist" did come from the word "community;" people working together to achieve a suitable society. In essence, your political stance can't really be "wrong." So, I never really see the point in arguing it unless you're on a political platform and you're trying to get votes.

I was just saying I was close there where he was on the chart, I didn't say I was like him or that it was good thing that I was near him. Just stating the fact that my point is near his point.

And I am assuming that you aren't talking to me about the Stalin or Hitler thing, because I never mentioned either of those names...or said Communism was bad. (However, I do think it isn't that great.)

Actually no I'm not. I play the video games rarely, used to watch the show as a little kid, and I pretty much only talk in the off-topic discussions such as Other Chat.

Now someone like Chibi who has luckily never showed a picture of her/him/itself on the internet, absorbs in the world of anime and manga, and pimps out their profile with One Peace (idk what it's called) and bleach suff, is considered a weaboo.
A sarcastic "idg1f" guy who plays oldschool pokemon games is not considered a weaboo.

Back on topic, I took the test and it was stupid.
Seriously, you dont need a test to find out what political side you're on. If you do, chances are you dont think for yourself and need someone/something elses opinions and probably get a train-of-thought for your own

I am a member of the Republican Party in United States. I am mostly conservative on economic and national security issues. However on social issues I am more liberal with the exception of abortion and gay marriage.
