Political Compass Thread

Though I was surprised by the social thing, since I think drugs and machine guns should be legalized and all...

That doesn't make you a social libertarian.

[Lunar]

Of course it does. What other issues are there?

Why do you think you got a conservative score if there were no other issues out there?  I'm sure someone else, less lazy than I, will provide some of the millions of examples.

I have no clue why. That's why I said I was surprised.

Go back to the sections labeled:
"Now a look at some of your personal social values..."
and "..and how you see the wider society."
"If you got through that okay, you'll find these propositions on religion a breeze."
and "Finally, a look at sex."

Do you see any social questions there?  Did you choose to maximize freedom on all of them?  I doubt it.

I got:
Economic Left/Right: 0.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31

Why is Kerry, by their standards, considered a conservative?

He's economically and socially in the positives by that graph!

It's not based off of the current American political view.
