Political alignment analysis

[KukriKhan]

So Kukri what's on the agenda? Got any small nations to annex?

Glad you asked: If Kukri is in charge, I offer statehood to Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Shiastan (western Iraq), Sunnistan (eastern Iraq), Diego Garcia, Liberia, and Poland, with all the benefits and responsibilities that US statehood would entail.

As to that internet survey we took, many here have decried (rightfully, I think) the underlying assumptions made or implied by the questions. After seeing the "slant" to those questions, in self-defense I felt I needed to shun my actual position in the world (public servant, lower-middle class income, little to no influence on public policy beyond my neighborhood), and adopt the mindset of ruler - if I were Big Boss, how would I answer the questions?

The honest answers were "strongly" in favor of whatever measure insured my continued control. Hence the high, rightist score.

Frankly, I believe many of us would have answered the same way, except that we let our perceptions of ourselves, and our perceived positions in our societies, pre-dispose us to answering as somewhat-oppressed cogs in the wheels of a governmental machine of which we are only dimly aware.

I hope that made sense to somebody. :)

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.36


Left leaning moderate. Nothing new under the stars.

Time to show the Yanks that not everyone's a eurowiener:

Economic Left/Right: -1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 4.26

What can I say, I read Hobbes' and Machiavelli when I was thirteen.
