8values political stance quiz

Post by 8-ball »

Let's all take this semi-short quiz and share the results!
https://8values.github.io/

Personally, I was surprised at how many questions made me uncomfortably unsure about my stance which is probably indicating I need to get better informed.
And was surprised to get a liberal result when it's been a long time since I identified as one or even wanted to be associated with such.

Image

Will be interesting to take this test again in a few months as I listen to quite a lot of political podcasts lately.

Pretty much as expected I guess, except that like 8-ball I don't exactly identify with so called liberal parties. Their idea of liberty tends to be at the expense of other people and without contributing to the greater good.

I don't know, very hard to interpret a lot of these questions and wanted to have some clarification and context. Ended up just picking "unsure" about at least 10-15 of them. I guess nothing too unexpected for my either

Should it really be a goal to have a "strong opinion" on every topic? I feel like with most issues you could find plenty of positives and negatives for anything depending on the situation and understand both sides of the argument. I'm not convinced that it's important to be sure about everything.

Note that there's a difference between "unsure" and "neutral", both of which are under the same option. I think 8-ball referred to "unsure" (he said it :p), rather than neutral, hence the desire to deepen teh knowledge. I was unsure/dunno about a few (5?), and neutral on several more. Tbh I feel like I should read about every one of these issues for 15min before answering :U I thought and read about prostitution afterwards and changed my opinion almost entirely

Just goed very quickly through it. Pretty close to expected, but yeah many too vague questions that can be interpreted in different ways.

I understand that most people are Internationalist, Libertarian and Progressive.

But why are most kuskis leaned more towards social system than market system?

Main reason probably because most live in somewhat socialist/social-democratic countries and are influenced by that.

Yeah? You think the global strive for equality is solely thanks to science? Think about the importance of women in Europe 100 years ago and now.

"Global strive for equality" does not necessarily mean higher quality of life, which was discussed. Everyone is acting like if women were treated like shit 100 years ago. European culture was always women & children first. The change happened mainly because nowadays most jobs do not require physical strength. The ones that did were naturally considered men's jobs and the remaining ones women's.

If by that you mean first to be raped, beaten and married away for profit then yes, you are correct.

I think a better wording is that women were treated like property. Many men took good care of their property, that's true.

Women were there to take care of the homes and the children, not much else...

I didn't mention equality without a reason mila. It gives people fair chances to be treated justly, to achieve education and success with hard work, and to have a voice about the society and its rules. All of these increase decade by decade, and I think saying it's just due to science is a bit audacious. Naturally all these things are interrelated, and I'd be curious to hear from somebody who deals with civilisation development professionally, but I think there's more to humanity than science (saying this as a junior scientist).

i really don't know where do you have this shit from, it is simply not true.
For example, we had a queen (with no king) for 40 years in austria-hungarian empire. How did that happen, if women were property?

For one, women often had little to say about who they were wed to, and I know that from my own family a few generations back. I think I don't even have to mention education, or the lack of access to education for women until not so long ago, which obviously and naturally prevented them from gaining significant importance.

"Property" is naturally a bit of a stretch, but there is a lot of truth in that.

The limiting factor 100 years ago was money, so parent could send only one or a few children to school, and they typically chose boys. There wasn't any discrimination on the school side.

Women were not equal 100 years ago, but property is a bit stretch.

Anyway, the "equality" in the test is not the equality of opportunities, which almost everybody supports, but it is about the equality of outcome (equity). That's what I am against.
In all the fields, were women underperform, there are steps taken, to make their outcome equal. But when the sexes are switched, nobody gives a shit.

Let me get this right. You are against equity? You are against women getting paid the same as men for doing the exact same jobs exactly as efficiently? Seriously?

if you make comparisons between countries it becomes quite clear that some form of socialism is beneficial and i dont think anyone in here is advocating for communism. nordic countries for example are mostly capitalist with socialized healthcare and welfare elements etc. these countries have low crime and are on top of polls when it comes to happiness and overall the quality of life is good. granted it sucks if you are rich and make one million instead of two, my heart weeps for you!

I've never said that. I'm against positive discrimination (affirmative action) - biasing the rules such that there will be equal distribution of genders or races for each job.

so do you think if welfare was taken out, Finland would go into anarchy? I think people would stay the same and just get out of their homes and do some work for a change. I think it's more about human programming, genes and tradition. Kindness, honesty and bad self esteem are in the core of Finnish people, learned as a child from parents.

Meanwhile in some other country people would start rioting if welfare was taken out.

The reason why nordic mans do better is in somewhere else than government structure.

I'm inclined to believe that the government structure somewhat grows out of the population, so if the population has certain tendencies, the government will reflect that.

But it's very interesting for me that all 5 nordic countries (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland) are in top10 of world's most developed countries (http://www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org)
