Food for thought: What is the political compass of your nation?

Greater Quebec Republic: Economic Left/Right: -0.50 / Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 7.18

Where can I find such a calculator?

For Mexico:

Economic Left/Right: -1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.54

Personally:

Economic Left/Right: -2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.90


The funny thing is, I used to be in the opposite corner around four years ago. Went center about two years ago. It's interesting how things change.

Personal
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

Federal Republic of Ontario
Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.25


I did pretty much the same thing as Voodoo: when I was first getting into politics, I was about +3 right and +2 authoritarian, and as I stopped parroting my family and talk show hosts, I shifted to the center roughly 2 years ago, and since then I've been steadily moving left, but I don't think I'll be moving much further that way.

Anyone read about that kid, Jonathan Krohn, who delivered that speech at CPAC and wrote a book on conservatism when he was around 14? He's done the same thing, switched over to become liberal and is getting raged at by the US right. I think intelligent people naturally move left as they mature. :P

There are intelligent people on the left and right (in terms of US politics). People's core beliefs are solidified in early adulthood, aka things that make up the foundation for what they believe and why. After that, as people age and experience life (not necessarily mature), they tend to shift economic thought based on their situation, their job, where they live, etc. Social issues rarely change, but that's part of the evolution of beliefs as a person experiences life.

I was just making a jab, I wasn't actually serious. Not everyone on the right is a mouthbreather. Though I will admit, most of the folks around where I live don't actually know why they vote conservative; ask just about any Okie just about anything about Romney's economic or social plans, and you won't get specific answers, just statements like "oh, I really love his ideas about that policy." Admittedly, you have the same sorts of people on the left, but the liberals I've met in Oklahoma tend to have more defined views than the conservatives. Maybe that's the effect of being the minority ideology in a state. I have respect for conservatives who can actually define their views and carry on a discussion; I despise the average moron who just follows the pack and repeats talking points from Hannity and Limbaugh without actually thinking it over.

Old folks seem to expect me to shift over to the right when I get older. Some of my neighbors legitimately believe that leftism should just be a phase. When my parents started moving left last year, they got into daily arguments with the neighbors over email about politics. Now, we're the crazy commies down the street because we're unabashed about embracing the label 'socialist.'

Personal: Economic Left/Right -9.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -4.62
Dalian (representative of France): Economic Left/Right: -5.12 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.74

Most leftism there comes just from an interventionist economic policy, not really because Dalian is communist. One could say, she distrusts the free market to not be in France's interest.

I realize this is REALLY outside of the normal range and that few people will likely read it... however, I will likely be less then active over the next two weeks in CNRP. Why? Well, with all of my writing experience, no job and hence, nothing to lose... I've decided, I'm gonna write me a book... and given how rapidly I put text to paper, I hope to have most of the first and second drafts done in two weeks, finishing up sometime after that - publish via amazon Kindle and see what happens. If it works good, it would be a nice to have something that brings me food and pays for fun things I like to do in life. So there - lesser activity notice, but not complete inactivity, please don't randomly bomb me, I'm already bombing myself for peets sake.

I actually had a character with the first name of Kaiser, Dr. Kaiser Obanaski. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to write you in as Dr. Kaiser Obanaski Melech III :P.If you don't mind being part of an organization of evil villains hell-bent on the destruction of the world XD.
