Remember the Political Compass site that was posted here twicebefore? I happened to come across a reference to it at another site and decided to take the quiz again to see how my politics have changed in the past few years. I got a -7.38/-7.08. Apparently, as I get older, I'm turning into quite the commie anarchist.
Back when it was first posted, I drew up a chart to show all our scores in relation to one another. I've decided to update it, using the scores from the last time the topic came up, and my new score. Anyone else care to see how the inexorable flow of time has affected their sensibilities?

Some of them I didn't really think that long about - so it mightn't be true and I've taken a different website's test like this and I was in a different position. Anyway my quick go at this resulted in:
Economic Left/Right: -5.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44
Just to the right of Ghandi! heheheh.
-------------------- "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica." - Jim Halpert. (The Office)
Your political compass Economic Left/Right: 4.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.05
I guess this means that, unless I'm looking for a fight, I should avoid talking politics around here.

Pretty close to where Ghandi is.
And pretty close to where it was before: i got economic: -3.88 and authoritarian/libertarian: -2.72
I guess marijuana's mellowed me out even more than I was before.

So far, I guess Lee wins the prize for Most Drastic Change. Though, I'm still looking forward to seeing how Omega comes out.

And I'm the most leftie person here, ever? Odd. I can imagine how some of my answers would have led to that - but then I can't imagine answering any different 5 years ago.
C'mon, people, do the test! And some of the old results can probably be removed, I mean, who the fuck is/was MerloMo? And maybe He Who Can Not Be Named can contribute by PM. . .
