so I've been catching some glimpses on the nerd-o-sphere about this new political quiz:
From the feedback I was seeing, apparently it's better than the venerable Political Compass (https://www.politicalcompass.org/), if only because it provides more granularity?
Well, aside from the fact that the political compass quiz results come in two axes and this one has *four*... I guess more is good?
In any case my results are as follows, which... I don't get it? I thought libertarianism and socialism were like... kind of opposite ends of the governmental interference spectrum?
Like, how is this thing calculated anyway? What are the possible answers? What's the underlying theory in naming these political ideologies?
luckily, this thing was hosted on Github Pages, so finding the repo was fairly straightforward. It's at https://github.com/8values/8values.github.io, of course.
And quick glance nets me this JS file with all the possible responses: https://github.com/8values/8values.github.io/blob/master/ideologies.js
dafuq is “Anarcho-Egoism”. Apparently there's a difference between Nazism, Fascism, and Capitalist Fascism. You can have Communism that is Religious.
Huh...?
@tariqk there were some Christian organisations from just after the Reformation in UK that believe(d?) in common property ownership such as the Diggers. Not sure if such views are common or even found nowadays anywhere (although there are many Christians around today who have socialist economic views and progressive views on society).
@vfrmedia yeah, as @SuzanEraslan pointed out. And yet I'm like... so that's what the developer meant?
