Ben Shapiro Takes the Political Compass Quiz

[@BenShapiro]

Let me know where you place in the comments below!

[@Blueblackngold]

You are no libertarian

[@injesusname3732]

No.

Yes, I was wondering the same. Apparently that survey's been around for a very long time, huh?

[@RevoltingPeasant123]

The fact that Friedman is only just below the line on libertarian vs authoritarian shows how little the author of this test understood his ideas

[@ryanbruner4633]

Sam Townsend SO true. Friedman was once presented with 14 government agencies and was asked which he would keep and which he would abolish. He hypothetically abolished 11 of the 14 agencies. He was hardly a slight libertarian.

[@clancyprellwitz7464]

The fact it has hitler listed as right of center when he was a socialist says enough about how awfully wrong this is...

[@morbidgirl6808]

Hitler was more of authoritarian-leftist. Thatcher was obviously center-right just like the whole conservative party in UK. Gandhi was center-right and close to line between Authoritarianism and libertarianism. Stalin was more of a far-left communist.

Well he's right about the questions. I took the quiz a week or two ago and had the same quibbles with the questions he does.

[@shawntalbert]

Look at it this way. The quiz is obliviously designed by a leftist based on the questions. So a typical conservatives response would make them either Hitler or worse. It would be more more accurate quiz if the questions gave an option of N/A if you don't agree with the premise.

[@AccountofZeb]

A Moral Compass is the MOST IMPORTANT COMPASS. People wonder why this country is going to hell in a handbasket & yet for the past 60 years people have been kicking Jesus out of everything they can & wonder why? Where does morality come from? What is the benchmark? WHO sets the standard? John Adams our 2nd president recognized this when he addressed the officers of the first Brigade of the third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts In October 11. 1798 (This is partial but it's worth looking up!) While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. WE'VE COME A LONG WAY DOWNHILL BABY!!!!!

[@80xdplays88]

Abortion is murdering innocent people. He clarified that the death penalty should only apply to extreme cases. So for example. Murder or Rape. Which is murdering degenerates (Note the differences between them.) As for porn. It has been proven that it messes with you. Men lose there respect for women. Women thing this is normal. And in the end its bad from a religious standpoint. Now if you watched the video you would know that he changes his answer on the porn one to it should be legal. That's because while he is religious and doesn't agree with it its still their right to watch that.

[@victorocampo5263]

Exactly

[@sparks6177]

It does. although libertarians as a whole don’t believe in government getting involved with personal values, we tend to be paranoid that if they can make America the most religious and biblically moral country they could easily go the opposite direction and make it the most messed up immoral country. The less control over the personal stuff that doesn’t do harm to others the better

[@Mcaark]

Yeah, and honestly, that’s an incredibly flawed skewing. I’ve come more and more to realize just how much the Left doesn’t understand the Right. Shockingly, many on the Right (mostly Libertarians) seem to have at least an understanding of the reasoning of the Left. Even if they think it is stupid and disagree with it.

[@sparks6177]

Username yeah but if you give the government control over telling you what is and isn’t moral it’s a slippery slope, the nazis thought it was moral to kill Jewish people for a greater good. You have to look at power from every perspective when it comes to government, our government has the possibility of changing its entire power balance and beliefs every 4 years all it would take is one president saying it’s moral to kill, rape or murder and it is possible people would believe it because “well it’s the government’s job to tell us what’s moral so it must be moral” most libertarians think like this and if the 2016 election proves anything it’s that anyone can win when put in the right position. A good way to think about it is, don’t give your government something you wouldn’t want you’re worst enemy to have, the government can be your friend one day and your enemy the next we have no reason to trust the government. History has proven governments can turn from good to bad in an instant

Just an interesting factoid about the urinal. That was a piece created during an artistic movement in Germany and Europe called Dada art. Dada art is supposed to be "stupid" to some degree, while also commentating on social issues.

The issue with the quiz is that they are phrased with language insinuating leftist values as righteous and conservative values as nefarious, more so than vague nature of the prepositions. This leads to an ineffective quiz, since the quiz taker is now very aware of how their answers will place them on the compass when that is supposed to be hidden so they will choose answers that they may not agree with just to obtain that final outcome - which it isn't even very good at placing people anyway.

[@aleksandrawasilewska2086]

@@CaptainOfAnarchy Well, I'm a straight white male myself and I went to a katholic school, so i am going to share my experience. The idea behind Ten Commandment is wonderful, but I was talking about how people are interpreting them. Anyways, back to my christian school - it was an actual hell. Zero freedom, you couldnt dress the way you like (you had to be "god honoring" with your clothing - whatever that means), sex before marriage was seen as something almost as bad as murderer, when priests found out about some kids being gay, they would organise their own conversion therapy (wtf??). The worst part of this whole school was the way priests and nuns and the rest of teachers threated my trans friend. He was constantly being called by his female name, the priests would make him stay after lessons to tell him some transpfobic shit, a year after his coming out he commited suicide. This really broke me, and all this people who brought this, were "the saddest about this lost". Sorry for this story of my life but, the reality of katholic schools is not as wonderful as it may seem to people like you (no offense ofc, i mean atheists who live in atheist country)

I like how Ben completely disregarded the disclaimer at the begining of the quiz: Please note that this isn’t a survey, and these aren’t questions. They’re propositions. To question the logic of individual ones that irritate you is to miss the point. Some propositions are extreme, and some are moderate. That’s how we can show you whether you lean towards extremism or moderation on the Compass. Your responses should not be overthought. Some of them are intentionally vague. Their purpose is to trigger reactions in the mind, measuring feelings and prejudices rather than detailed opinions on policy.

He is pandering to a right wing audience by fear mongering. This is not a new tactic at all.

[@DxBALLxD]

There is a vague line to be drawn for things that ills people. Drugs and sex - always come paired just like that for a reason, so naturally the more you think about how drugs shouldn't be legal and why that is; the further you can push the line to reason for why even more things should be illegal. I dunno man, complete freedom is after all anarchy, drugs sex murder stealing. What kind of a life is it to live with Pornography really. I think it's absolutely silly to ban it personally, but at the same time it literally ruins lives. It is the man-of-the-savannah's built-in drug.

Saying you do not have a "right" to pornography is not the same as saying you cannot ban pornagorahy - which is a libertarian position.
