When exactly did Hitler, Gandhi and Stalin take this test?

[@billschneider5454]

Whenever Friedman did too

[@stgr6669]

I think it's possible to guess their answers on most questions. But the questions are way too tame, so Hitler and Stalin land in the same range as a normal person with authoritarian left or right views. For example, they'd agree to "The death penalty should be an option for the most serious crimes", but consider a lot of political actions "most serious crimes, even worse than murder". Stalin wouldn't just put some restrictions on multi-national corporations, but seize and nationalize all businesses, big or small. Hitler might say "Different sorts of people should indeed keep to their own kind, but those different from us do not have rights." So both axes have to be much longer to find a proper place for these monsters (or for people who agree with their views).

When you find a political quiz that can better pin people's ideology down, let me know! I was firmly in "left-libertarian" territory and it suits me just fine 👌 it also exposes that nobody in DC is really in the same quadrant as me, not that is reflected in policy at least.

A libertarian can hold both of them. And the idea that military action can be justified in defiance of international law is a smaller group defying a higher one, so it's kind of the opposite of authoritarian (see the sokovia accords from Captain America Civil War as a media example of the principle). It's an okay descriptor in terms of left and right economics, but the authoritarian/libertarian axis is all out of wack.

“I see my children. They blink a lot.” I don’t have any offspring but I’m going to use that joke. It’s hilarious. The set up was solid and the punchline was immaculate. I had to pause the video and write this because I couldn’t stop laughing and stopped paying attention. I don’t know if this dude does stand-up but that is definitely the joke of the year for me.

[@JohnLee-ue6gy]

I'd like a peek inside their validity metrics. I reliably fall in the same general area on the test, but I am reliably frustrated by the questions, as they seem more calibrated to measure how much one weighs terms such as 'sometimes' and 'never' in formulating a gut response.

[@dennisvance4004]

“Compass“ is a loaded term; a compass operates via an external force, i.e. the earths magnetic field. By using the term compass this test is manifestly subject to bias, as the external influence will determine the outcome.

[@CelticSpiritsCoven]

External Force = your own morals, ethics, life experiences, and education. However.... this Compass test WAS created by Leftist who want you to answer based on emotion (not logic) so that you will score as a Lefty and say "ooh, I guess I am a liberal after all, now let me vote for what the test told me I am". They think people are stupid and will vote against their morals just because a test told them it is official.

[@lancehatch4475]

Klavan and I have almost the exact same spot on the graph. I'm just slightly to the right. I knew there was a reason I like him.

[@_baller]

I took the quiz, and I'm more of a libertarian naturally, mostly in the middle tho, but I came out like like one point to left and one point to authoritarian....thought I'd be more to the right and down a little 🤷🏻‍♂️

the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I see where there going with it I will mildly agree with that" lmao

[@claudiap.6838]

That’s interesting. Klavan was the one from all 4 from the daily wire that the answers were the most distinct from the other 3. The other 3 had very similar answers.

[@TipOfTheSauce]

Interesting how in the example the only quadrent with 2 people in it has Hitler and Thatcher... Almost as if they are trying to imply something...

[@CelticSpiritsCoven]

That's EXACTLY correct. The Left has been trying to indoctrinate people into believing that Hitler was on the Right because they need people to believe that they are somehow "opposite" of Hitler.

Bottled water was made for the lazy man. Don't wanna go a running stream, collect water, filter it, boil it, chill it, then drink it? Just pop to shop and get ALL of that done for you. The guy who decided to do that was quite frankly, a genius. If you don't want to buy bottled water, then... don't. You have a clean water system running through your house, take a bottle and fill it with your own water. It. Isn't. Hard. To. Stand. By. Your. Morals. And. Not. Be. An. Ass. Hat.

[@CountArtha]

The premise of that question is so pretentious. Let's just think about some of the reasons why water became "a bottled, branded consumer product," and why that's a good thing. 1. PORTABILITY. You can ship thousands of liters of bottled water on pallets and rapidly distribute it to people in a disaster, instead of having to dig a well, build a pumping station, distillery, or sanitation plant which would take a LOT more effort and specialized knowledge. Time saved; resources saved; lives saved. 2. CONVENIENCE. If you're studying at the library or hustling through an airport and start to get dehydrated, instead of dropping everything to go searching for a public drinking fountain, you can just bring a water bottle with you and have it whenever you need it. 3. QUALITY CONTROL. If you buy commercial, "branded" bottled water, you can be reasonably confident it came from an actual bottling facility with competent management, or else it wouldn't be a brand you'd heard of. Would YOU want to buy a bottle of water with no label, not knowing where it came from? You can get water for free out of a puddle, but try drinking that every day and see what happens. It's not like evil corporations have been hypnotizing us with subliminal messages like the aliens in _They Live._ There's a perfectly rational, economically sound reason for bottled water to exist, and the free market delivered. As usual.

The problem with the quiz is it asks questions that are meant to see if you are racist like “it’s better for some peoples to keep to their own kind” and when you obviously say that’s malarkey, it puts you on the left but if you agree it puts you on the right You can really tell a lib made this
