    so, let's see who our fellow travellers are.

    Does UA have a lot of brown shirts in his closet? Is Farmer Storm's daughter?

    we'll even use the American version (with it's too small gallons and measuring in football fields)

    Here's me and either I'm sliding further L/L as the years go by or the "disinterested centrists" have drifted away from me...

    This is what can make observing “progressives” in the wild so much fun. They inevitably fall to fighting over who is more progressive than who and trying to out-virtue signal each other.

    In honour of your traditional bothsiderisms:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/09/republicans-turn-on-each-other-amid-post-roe-chaos-00050417

    Of course, progressives are normally trying to show they are nicer or more accepting, whilst Republicans are fighting to show who is the nastier cunt. But yes, this makes them equally bad. Well done you.

    Whilst Chocky is about a human child subverted by an alien intelligence, that doesn't mean YouTube vids.

    I'm not putting much stock in this. A lot of loaded questions and false choices. Either/or with no third options considered. Always or never with no "sometimes. " A lot of my answers didn't really reflect me, because my point of view wasn't an option. :shrug:

    Political Compass is horribly flawed, but sure! I'll join in.

    Nah, you just play one on the internet sometimes, like when you'll group people together as mad for supporting something you also support.

    Yeah, this political compass quiz has been around for decades, and I've always thought the questions were pretty stupid. Some questions are wholly unrelated to political ideology.

    One I've always found more interesting and a bit more fine tuned (though just as unscientific) is the 8values test:
