What do your political views look like?


My top ideologies are:
Kemalism at 67%, Liberal democracy at 58%, and Ordoliberalism at 60%.

My worst are:
Anarcho-primitivism at -50%, Mutualism at -50%, Deep ecology at -50%, and Synthesis anarchism at -50%.

Looks like I have some reading up to do, because two out of three of my top I've never heard of.
 
So, according to political sextant, I’m either one of two flavors of fascist, a follower of the founding philosophy of Indonesia, or a paleoconservative.

Paleoconservative: 90%

Regular Fascist: 80%

Clerical Fascist: 75%

Pancasila: 75%

My worst are:

Anarco-communism -64%, Individualist Feminism -75%, and Queer Anarchism -80%.

...So I guess I want to gas the gays or liberate Indonesia according to the test makers?

No, I doubt the quizmakers are making those kinds of moral judgments. More likely, the quiz found that you had a lot in common with the ideologies in question in terms of beliefs.
 
Hurm...

Paleoconservatism 80%
Paleolibertarianism 75%
Pancasila 75%

Strasserism - 33%
De-Leonism -40%
Deep Ecology -50%

I didn't even know Paleolibertarianism was a thing. And Strasserism... Only reason I know about that is because of that banned The Sietch member. May she rest in peace. :p

Pancasila sounds good from the Wikipedia entry. Moderation and Pluralism and Religious Value etc. Sure it's not quite as peachy for Indonesia but that's reality for you. Just haven't tried true Pancasila yet.

You know, this might prove to be a useful reference tool.
Though I suppose now-and-again I should update it. Maybe, if I was really enthusiastic, even keep a steady log of the updated ones with each iteration to make some kind of pseudo-scientific 'tracker' of my political leanings horoscopes (since that's what most of these amount to by my estimation).
To particularly reference the relevant pair:

Squishy liberal, reporting for duty!
 
8- values says I am a neo liberal. favor free markets and relatively centrist on the rest.

Sextant results
-Anarcho-capitalism 70%
-Bernsteinism 75%
-Free-market environmentalism 75%
-Anarcho-primitivism -50%
-Deep ecology -50%
-Queer anarchism -50%
this just makes me smile. absolutely a capitalist. do genuinely think we could do more to protect the environment. think that shrinking the government is a good idea. think that violent revolution is an absolute last resort and it is generally far more effective to simply work within the system to affect change. deep ecology and primitivism are anti tech and so advocate for destroying the current framework that allows our planet to support billions of humans. 0/10 very disagree. as for queer anarchism... i guess so. when it comes to the LGBT+ things it is always just a you do you and please stop waiving it in my face constantly. also maybe let kids be kids and don't stick them on hormone blockers. such a harsh stance but sure.

This different answers I got on 8values makes me wonder what's what, honestly.
Sextant is more specific in what it talks about. 8 values uses big umbrella terms. based on your results for 8 values you like markets and are patriotic. you rate moderate on civil liberties but tend slightly authoritarian. you favor tradition over social progress.

with the sextant it puts you closest to plaeocon. but at 60% you have disagreements there. same with the others. looking at it though it makes a fair amount of sense if we look at the negatives. you really hate communism and most of what your answers are in opposition to it.
 
Yeah, like I said: Sextant is more nuanced in multiple ways. They also have a YouTube channel, by the way.

 
This website might be better.


Edit: These are my results. Political Sextant

I'm even more suspicious of that one that the norm, because while the various politcal compass type maps might have odd results, trying to use a relative handful of questions to map people onto on of several dozen different ideologies that often have fairly minor differances between them seems like an even less accurate method.
 
I'm gonna click yes everytime and see what it gets me.

Noice.

Well... hmmm *clicks Disagree on everything*

When I clicked on 'More Information' it attempted to Rick'Roll me.

Nice try... a Grammarly... Grammerly?... ad allowed me to read the video description before it could start playing.

I win. You lose Sextant!

Not sure what I'm talking about.

No, it's fairly nuanced. First, it tells you exactly how the machine will understand "agree" or "disagree" if you look under the "pro" and "con" section under each question. Second, it doesn't say "you are X ideology." Rather, it gives you a list of ideologies and tells you how well you fit under each of them.
 
Hmm, I can't figure out how to link it readily.

I'm nearly dead center on every single issue (around 49-51 for three of them and 44-56 for Tradition/Progress) but I think it's because for a majority of questions I went "Undecided/Don't know on them due to lack of detail. I mean, if you just ask about legalizing drugs it depends, I'm going to be more favorable to legalizing marijuana than heroin.

Most things are really non ideological matters of prudential judgement, choosing between different goods, so it shouldn't be surprising if most questions result in a 'meh.'
