   So I just took a totally different political compass test. This time I seem to leant more right but both agree that im extremely Libertarian.

     @Please Well Liberalism in the context of this test might mean something different than how you use it. You may mean neo-liberal which is something very different

     @Tayo The test feels accurate for me at least. I wobble left to right but am strongly libertarian

     @cola I took a third test to settle the difference. Seems I do in fact lean right.

     @l0wk3y

     Except me, off thing is, I wouldnt say I'm an anarchist at all. I do feel there needs to be a government with very clear rules. I just think they need to minimize those rules to the essentials.

     @l0wk3y

     I obviously think so :) But I'm clearly no centrist, nor an extremist.

     @l0wk3y

     I found for most questions i didnt have a clear answer because it lacked nuance. Thats why i liked the test that also asked how important the question is for me. That way I can remove the questions from consideration that dont capture the nuance of my opinion.

     @Ox

     I'd say most of my views are radical in the sense that they have never even been considered by most people in a debate. But they arent extremist in the sense that most people dont dismiss it either and go "thats interesting, I'd have to think about where I stand on that"

     @sadladpress

     Your in the same quadrant as me but on the opposite side of it t seems

     Random idea.. run 4 or 5 fediverse servers on the same domain but with different subdomains. One for each quadrant and one for centrists. You take a test to get in and then are allowed to only sign up on the server you were tested for.

     @sadladpress

     Yea but the servers will federate wuth each other and events could be planned between them

     @J

     People could lie, but thats not the point. The point is more that in this case the servers would all federate with each other and engage as if part of one larger system. Very much the opposite of what you see int he fediverse where such instances largely isolate form each other

     @nipos Same as the first test I took, The other two had me with a slight right lean.

     @nipos People dont realize, I think, that if you were full left on this chart you'd be virtually communist. If your more socialist you'd be about 2/3 to the left. Where you're at implies you like some social programs or wealth distribution but you think it should be minimally applied towards the essentials. If you were in the middle you'd think that financial regulations should be used to stop corruption and other extream cases but thats it. If your towards the right you feel more so that free-market will address corruption naturally.
