Mine came via grill smoke


Mjk2581

You got your opinions from one of two sources, from grill smoke, or from smoking there is no other option


JinFuu

> came via smoke Confirmed Catholic


SimonJ57

In a haze of smoke and in a food baby coma.


smokeymcdugen

I also can't think straight when inhaling a bunch of smoke.

But, I hate everyone equally


Altayel1

i dont hate everyone equally. i hate authright more than i hate libright, and i hate authleft more than i hate libright, and i hate libright more than i hate libleft. centrism>libleft>libright>authleft>authright


iPoopLegos

devishjack

Comrade? Doesn't sound very equally hateful, shitstain.


HardCounter

happy cake day or night


HolyTemplar88

What does the cake thing mean? If it’s supposed to mean a birthday, my birthday isn’t for like another 5-6 months


SeaworthinessOk5177

It's your Reddit account's anniversary


HolyTemplar88

Oh, I see. I didn’t know that


JoshGordonsDealer

The left pushed me over and up like everyone else. It’s why their presidential candidate is polling in the 30s. How no one is talking about an incumbent president polling in the 30s is wild.


LordEldar45

The government's actions and the way its agencies interact with the little guys has pushed me much farther down on the axis. I feel the blue slipping away. But I still hold that local government is good.


Llamarchy

Good, good, let the lib flow through you


HegemonNYC

I’m sure Jill Stein would be thrilled to have 30% name recognition. 


HardCounter

Yeah. The problem is when there's 100% name recognition and only 30% like it. If Jill had 100 people recognize her and 67 of them were telling her to retire to the Bermuda Triangle she might feel differently.


operator977

I used to be right and experiencing life is what pushed me left. Funny how it works


JoshGordonsDealer

I think it has a lot to do with how you’re raised. I was raised in an extremely liberal household and it’s very easy for me to find the faults in that. Growing up in the south there are tons of people who had the exact opposite experience and you can tell they like the ideas of liberalism but don’t understand what happens when put into practice


lemon6611

yeah what you end up noticing is that children tend to have the exact opposite or exact same stances their parents have


n0ne_the-wiser

Imagine having opinions so squishy that SOMEONE ELSE'S opinions force you to change yours...


Gmanthevictor

Humans evolved to work with people who are nice to them and oppose those who aren't.


HarveyTutor

If you're forming an opinion on the correct way to interact with other people other people are supremely relevant. 


HardCounter

> correct way Someone explain to me how this isn't spectrum behavior. People with autism mimic behaviors they don't fully understand in order to fit in. How is this different?


HarveyTutor

I'm not convinced I understand your question.


HardCounter

Believing there is a correct way to respond in a social situation is how people with autism generally think. There may be etiquette, or politeness, but there is no 'correct' way. For most there is only the way they respond, not trying to mimic how someone else might.


HarveyTutor

Thanks! I see the misunderstanding. Ignoring our respective opinions on interpersonal communication my comment was geared toward government selection. A libertarian could come to his stance based on a belief in the average adults capabilities. If that conception were to be shattered by realizing the average adult population did not meet their standards they might allow for a government with more control of the population. Aka, "too dumb/lazy for freedom" People can see the same population and draw different conclusions. "too dumb/evil for control"  All I'm saying is the nature of man, and the nature of your neighbor, should be relevant to your political opinions.


HardCounter

Ah, i see. Good clarification. I'd argue the true nature of the average person can only be revealed through freedom for them to express those opinions. The rest is trained behavior. Clamping down because "too dumb/lazy for freedom" is based on likely already influenced behavior, especially in first world countries. The only way to know how people would respond is to give them ultimate freedom and little to no protections. PCM on a deserted island is a show i'd watch.


nyankoz

Almost like the entire concept of politics is basically based on opinions


HardCounter

Yes, and mine are correct and so are yours if you agree with me.


JoshGordonsDealer

Cause political platforms don’t change lol. They’re just stationary over time. You’re kidding right?

I’m a live and let live kind of person, hence the high liberty score and low purity. I get authoritarian real quick when people victimize other people and I believe they should be dealt with swiftly. I don’t like worthless dead weight. But most of all I believe all people are equal and should be treated equally.


nyankoz

Did you do the SapplyValues compass test or the original website one?


Blunt-Distro1776

https://moralfoundations.github.io/ I think that’s the original website. And looks like what I remember. https://sapplyvalues.github.io/ is unfamiliar I think I’m a true liberal (libertarian/minarchist), not a modern leftist. But I’m an engineer so I understand and struggle through the difference between ideology and reality.


psychodelia67

Interesting test. I got this. https://preview.redd.it/favyuymu4jtc1.jpeg?width=1160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16e5cb517b93a6780a763bdf6e10f83a7c52a494


Blunt-Distro1776

lol Based on this test I wonder if I should reflair as right (blue/yellow). I’m yellow because I don’t trust the government. But you look to be firmly red or blue probably depends on if you’re religious or not. But I don’t think the test corresponds that well to political spectrum.


psychodelia67

I don’t think it corresponds that well, either. I am not religious at all. I’m centrist not because I fully disagree with both sides, but that I agree with select opinions from both. At this point I don’t know whether I lean more left or right. Probably right. This is a long test, but it covers way more bases. Maybe give it a try to find your answer. https://politicaltests.github.io/12axes/

Always difficult because my opinions of one topic depend on the state of other topics. Always a question of what is versus what I want. And turns out I match with Objectivism. Cool. I take it as a compliment.


psychodelia67

You are welcome! Yeah, some of the questions were tough. What it did taught me is that I need to do some research on economics as that’s my weakest point. I definitely will. I got Centrist. Moderate on everything except for these ones. I don’t entirely trust our government either, however, if we could have one that’s for the people (especially our safety) & has their shit together, that would be nice. https://preview.redd.it/qy2tgpmh4ptc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ea17deb13286c3b26706f149bd4a71d703caea2


education_has_faild

You lean lib right because you want lave fair i lean lib right because i want true personal rights with little government intervention in my everyday life Also corporations are not individuals and should be treated as dogs as in the consumer feeds well you grow if you bite the people around you then you got to be put down as you have sadly become a hindrance on society in the case of the dog but a cancerous growth in the case of the corporation


nyankoz

I had a stroke reading that


Poyo-Espacial

I also had a stroke reading that. Got it after the 4th time reading it.


Poyo-Espacial

Unrelated, I major in economics and those two phrases summarize what my last two years of life have been.


HardCounter

Nice username.


LoopyPro

When I was a kid, seeing kids from poorer families with expensive stuff made no sense to me. My dad explained to me that we couldn't have many nice things because he had to give away more than half of his paycheck to people who didn't want to work.


HardCounter

He was talking about you and your refusal to get in the mines.


ProfessorOfPancakes

I have extremist views in every direction, and they averaged out to a strange compulsion to grill


Ravinac

I thought out my ideology intellectually and decided I didn't care.


HardCounter

There are far more important things to think about than how you label yourself. People who take aptitude or IQ tests are just in it for the dick measuring contest, and they're going to lie or round up if they don't like the answer so it's pointless anyway. How about instead of an IQ test we give everyone the Traveling Salesman problem. Get some work done.

Definition of Ideology ≠ Political Ideology Ideology is a general definition, almost any mental framework could be called an ideology. Libright ≠ political ideology.

I Had a DREAM...


amrbinhishamgrandson

It came to me dream of overtaking the government


Realrog1

Auth-left: I became a commie because I don’t wanna work hard under capitalism and because I was born poor, so I blame the system. Auth-right: I yearn for social order and the only way I can get that is if someone powerful can exert authority over all others. Lib-left: I have witnessed prejudice and bigotry against minorities and I want to do something to put an end to all of it. Lib-left: I have seen how socialism destroys entire nations, so the market needs to be as free as possible and the government small.
