I've not seen the 8values test before so gave it a go.
No surprises there i think
No surprises there i think
I'm not going to do the test again (done it several times), but each time I do it my result is Libertarian/Left. My numbers are around -4 (left/right), -3 (authoritarian/libertarian).
Me too and each time I've landed around the middle of the green square
I seem to always get this result.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
And just right of center. *grin*
8 Values Political Test
Results:
Your closest match: Social Democracy.
Copernicus
Industrial Strength Linguist
Not too different from what I expected.
Some of the questions were vague (sometimes to the point of being almost loaded) and too complex to be answered in the simplified format of the test, but this is what I got:
The political compass (which I find to have similar issues to the 8 Values one):
We Never Know
No Slack
I'm where Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico meet.
Well, we almost entirely match in the economic result.
Out of curiosity, if you had to decide between voting for a candidate with your economic views but more globalist and socially liberal views and voting for one with much more corporate-oriented views but similar nationalistic and socially conservative views, which one would you vote for?

Does my memory fail me or did you drift even more to the right and the authoritarian side since the last time?
(You were pretty much in the center before.)
I'm still definitely in the green corner, very left and very libertarian.
The latter, because I'd have more fundamental views in common with them. I'd vote for a socialist of a sort but they'd have to be a family values type and cool with religion. I am not an anti-capitalist like a Marxist would be. I support capitalism if capitalism means people having the ability to own their own property, start a business, compete fairly with others and keep the earnings of their hard work, sure. But this neoliberal hellscape? Hell no. That's just a monstrosity that is throwing the world into chaos and a downward spiral as it reaches its final stages and collapses.
Globalism is deeply intertwined with neoliberalism, and a huge part of the problem. Through globalization, we have gotten harmful economic policies like NAFTA, outsourcing, etc. which has ruined the working class in the formally industrialized nations of the West, throwing them into deep poverty with no future. It has spurred this "open borders" mindset which has manifested as government-endorsed corporate rape of people and the environment. Now we have illegal immigrants being used as cheap, almost slave labor. Many of them are abused badly and many disappear into human trafficking networks. But a lot of people are making money off of it, so it's got to be allowed to continue. So those people are suffering as much as the working class natives whose jobs they are taking and displacing. It's sad all around.
So I think more nationalistic, protectionist policies are what are needed, to rebuild our working and middle class. This is direly needed. We're headed towards a collapse if nothing is done to avert this.
Maybe this would be a good idea for a new thread. I don't want to derail this one.

Tradition hold no place on n my heart, at 81.5% “progressive” I can only wonder if the wording of the questions limited my score.
