Political alignment analysis

[econ21]

Interesting thing about that graph, we only have 4 authoritarians and they're barely above the line.

Yes, I noticed that. I guess it is the Orgs demographic - the Org is mainly young men who are into the internet and computer gaming. I suspect they tend to be fairly liberal on the questions of sex, religion and patriotism that determine the vertical axis.

It's an interesting graph, Productivity. Maybe you could persuade Divinus Arma to include it in his post #1 of the "who the hell are you?" stickie?

It might be fun to colour code the entries by region - casual inspection suggests Euros and Yanks have rather different centres of gravity! (which I believe was the starting point for this thread ...)

Well... At least it was the final off-topic nail getting the original thread completely off course

It is actually quite surprising how many people are close to HoreTore, even though he is generally seen as being "the socialist" around here

Fairly moderate to, with a liberal lean on social issues.

Well, to be honest, I think I should be a little to the right on the economics, seeing as I want free markets, just not everywhere... Some things are best done by the state IMO. In other areas, the private sector handles things just fine, though I'd like the state to be a competitor too.

HoreTore seems like a socialist, but he can be reasonable. What you need is JAG to stop by and take the quiz.

We socialists are always reasonable

It's all the others who are being unreasonable!

[Crazed Rabbit]

Lol.

I think I'd be more libertarian on the social issues scale if they had some different questions.

Even Jag can be reasonable sometimes, he just leads with his bleeding heart. If you're really looking for an off-the-hook Lefty, have Idaho take it. I bet the chart can't measure him.

wow I am with all the commies. Thankfully I have guns god and illegal fetus killing or I would be past HoreTore.
