Soom you'll be a dirty pinko like the rest of us.
1. Should the state be abolished?
-> Yes
2. Should the state recognise same-sex marriage?
-> Erm.... Yes in the meantime, but No there's no need since it was abolished one question ago?

It's not reasonable waiting for some imagined society before changing laws.

It's not reasonable waiting for some imagined society before changing laws. I'm still content with where the site put me

That's not my point.
My point is that those quizzes do not adapt for your answers when you answer in a particular way at an earlier question that will render consequent questions moot.
If you want a different example:
1. Should executions be abolished?
- Yes
5. Should executions be public?
- 無
Nah. The PC was created by a couple of British guys and I get the feeling based on their essays and charts that they're leftists who created it to bash neoliberalism. Therefore it tends to make the user appear more left while making politicians appear right so that they will get woke and question what the site calls the economic orthodoxy. But this is just speculation.Lur wrote:Maybe it feels skewed to the left because this one may be Americentric (hence the right is called centre, the centre is called left left and the left goes to a fringe side)
Shit, that sounds woke. I lucked out and had a reformed Trotskyist for a history teacher though, so we were taught all about propaganda and critical thinking and other radical ~question authority~ type of things.I remember when I was in eighth grade, we had this CD program in history class where we had to play a game that involved politicians running for some kind of election. (The point as I understand it was to introduce us to the kinds of propaganda techniques that politicians use during election season, such as "glittering generalities," "mudslinging," etc. This probably doesn't look like much to Europeans and maybe y'all up in Canada, but it's probably one of the most sophisticated techniques I remember actually being exposed to in any of my history-related classes.
Tbh I will never get tired of the wacky American political spectrum where conservatism is center-right, libertarianism is center, liberalism is far left, anarchism is far right, and fascism, socialism and communism are all exactly the same thing and all are on the left.The first thing we had to do was answer a few yes-or-no questions to determine whether we were more liberal or more conservative.

If it had been created by Americans they would have included more questions about guns, policing, and race. It's an especially obvious tell that they're British because it doesn't mention gun rights at all and that's a big part of American politics.
I wish I were joking, but many right-wing Americans legitimately believe this fuckery, based on a fuzzy and self-contradictory idea that less gubbit = right and more gubbit = left, unless it's more gubbit that does things that conservatives like, in which case it doesn't count.Lur wrote::shock:
Spekr is alright considering that the creators are ancaps.I think I'd like one with a wider variety of questions and answers. I'd end up in the same place, but at least...
