The red area is anti-freedom, the bottom right is pro-freedom.

Its more pronounced when you weigh number of posts in hellfire against people's political leaning.

They did scream, and the chart shows why.

The board only leans to the right if you're left of center... and from the chart, everyone here is right from where you're sitting.

Looking at it, I'd say there was a good chance (+/- standard error) there's an equal distribution between left and right.

Huh. I have a feeling I've migrated down from the red quadrant.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -6.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15

It leans toward freedom and personal responsibility, which is unsurprising and probably a good thing. As far as economic left and right go I see a myriad of though with most people in the middle. Again, unsurprising.

I think if you did a sufficiently large and diverse sample of Americans, you'd see that clump in the south west near middle ground, with wings in all directions.

I think while most Americans lean libertarian, legislators are averse to passing pro-freedom bills that decrease government power and footprint, since it is diminishing their own base. And those with executive authority are fans of using that authority.

Still firmly in the center...if maybe drifting a little back towards libertarianism. I consider myself a recovering libertarian, but maybe I'm really a repressed libertarian???

It's tough to be a libertarian in the world. All that misunderstanding and negativity directed at you for thinking and not feeling.

You can always talk about it here with people who understand.

(Ok not really)


These are poorly worded questions and their intentions seem to be highly transparent.
