I'll not bother since my views don't tend to change that much, but like others, I would probably be placed close to the lower left hand corner.

In an older OP someone aggregate all the RF results into one chart. Sadly the site (crowdchart) doesn't work anymore and we can't see the old results.I'll not bother since my views don't tend to change that much, but like others, I would probably be placed close to the lower left hand corner.
Sanity usually prevails.In an older OP someone aggregate all the RF results into one chart. Sadly the site (crowdchart) doesn't work anymore and we can't see the old results.
I remember the green corned pretty crowded with very few outliers.
The heavy concentration of results in the lower-left quadrant was suggestive that the survey instrument was not adequate to distinguish between some of their intended measures.In an older OP someone aggregate all the RF results into one chart.

I'd say it is indicative of RF being a self selected group of mostly social and liberal people. Other groups (political candidates) had a heavy bias in the blue quadrant. (Also a self selected group but of anti-social, authoritarian individuals).The heavy concentration of results in the lower-left quadrant was suggestive that the survey instrument was not adequate to distinguish between some of their intended measures.
maybe, but the pattern has shown up in several studies of survey instrument and the website. I had more than 200 students in a database that also displayed the same lopsided distribution.I'd say it is indicative of RF being a self selected group of mostly social and liberal people.

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.
Go right ahead.By the way, since quoting someone in a new thread requires permission per the rules, would you mind if I quoted your post in case I decided to start a new thread about all of this?
