I was wondering why my shitty and dead "AmericanValues" Quiz got a huge boost in popularity, and after searching the URL on DDG: I figured out that Reddit Liberals found it and started posting it around.

That eventually lead them to my website, where they deduced that I'm an "actual fascist." I bet the folks over at s/debatealtright would have so'm to say about that... It's always refreshing to remember that everyone on the left hates my guts as much as everyone on the right.

This proves my point that Democrats think Centrists might as well be Hitler.

Have you tried low-dose antipsychotics?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Seroquel ftw. Although there's a dispute that the atypical antipsychotics actually work better. It's like the whole cox-2 inhibitor thing. They put out new meds and fake tests that show they work better.

Half of all medical professionals didn't refuse the covid vaccine cause they're anti-vaxxers, it's cause we've seen lots of shady shit and are reasonably sceptical.

Antipsychotics have been shown to resolve some cases of gender dysphoria.

The folks over at s/debatealtright might say your political doctrine is essentially fascist, but also that you're a crazy person. It doesn't necessarily require a racial theory. As another example, Eric Striker has described the Proud Boys as essentially fascist, even though they're not racists or racialists ("civic fascism").

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ah, okay then.

The word "Fascism" has become a far-left dog-whistle for "racism" directed towards anyone who disagrees with them to any extent on any issue.

I enjoyed it, so I shared it with my husband. There might have been similar instances to that too, so hopefully not all just judgemental cannonfodder from Reddit.

Lucky dude.

Thank you, I feel pretty lucky to have him too.

Thanks. If you look at their results, though, you can see quite clearly that ideological matching is terrible. It was funny to see half of them labelled as Republicans and the other half as Socialists, even though they should've been Democrats.

Does this not wake you up to the truth that your own political self indentification is completely at sea? You call yourself a conservative tranny, yet in your own poll, deeply democratic individuals also score as conservative.

perhaps you are mis-labelling?

Why does every single person in the world have successes except for me? I suck at everything and even when I do something right luck doesn't come in my favor.

I'm even worse. Your quiz is made by a megacorporation compared to mine, check them out and my other projects (CrystalVulpine) and you can see my post quality. And even if I did as well, which is practically impossible, luck still would make sure it didn't get anywhere. Don't think I can do anything else well either, in fact I get worse as time goes on. People don't trust me either, everyone except /r/WatchRedditDie is immediately suspicious me for no apparent reason. Even when a friend of mine invited the WRD mods to /r/worldpolitics, the head mod kicked me within minutes but let everyone else stay. They had never even spoke to any of us yet. And even friends of mine who are organizing groups and chats and pre-public projects always invite everyone except me, every single time, or at best invite me much much later. Not because they hate me, but again because I am inherently bad news somehow.

And then there's those perfect people who are automatically a savant at every single endeavor, and every single aspect about them is very good or perfect.

That's because it's a fork of 8values, not an original test like yours. I wrote all the questions and programmed all the ideologies — but they have plenty of issues.

Reddit is controlled by Communists. The reason you where not allowed to be mod was because you have political opinions the moderator elite disagree with.

Theyn't your friends, simple as that.

Like who? Jesus? I can't think of anyone else who could be considered "perfect".

1000x better than I could.

No, this was within WRD circles like /r/worldpolitics and the few other large subs not controlled by powermods. Look at the other WRD mods, they all mod several large subs.

Theyn't your friends, simple as that.

They are, they're just afraid I'll wreck everything because I probably will. This pattern is consistent in multiple completely separate circles.

Like who? Jesus? I can't think of anyone else who could be considered "perfect".

The almost perfect. The best example I've found by far is /u/cqtz, who does everything perfectly at a savant level, even things she has barely any experience with. There are a few other users across ruqqus and reddit but I don't think they're on this site.

No, I'm not actually perfect. I have some issues with procrastination, lack of motivation, laziness, etc. And even for the things I like, I wouldn't say I'm "good" or "great" at doing many of those things. It's probably just that I became interested in something and learned some surface level knowledge about it. If there's something I'm good at, I've probably had quite a bit of experience with it.

[–]Vulptex 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (20 children)

Yet you still do everything perfectly in an insanely short amount of time, despite laziness and procrastination and lack of motivation. Your coding is genius (even though you're not a programmer), your art looks like it was produced by a megacorp, you have tons of creative ideas and humor, and you're extremely good at communication and easily influence people. And your "surface level" knowledge in some subjects looks like rocket science next to most peoples' 10 years of study. 99% of people don't even approach your level at one thing in a lifetime, let alone so many different ones. You're just a natural at a ton of things, and there's some quality about that which forcing it through practice and learning simply can't make up for.

And that's what I'm jealous of, because despite somewhat high intelligence I don't really have any natural talent anywhere, and in fact it seems to get worse with time. Even if I dedicate my whole life to one specific endeavor I'll never be capable of half as much as you. You're one of several people like that but I think I'm jealous of you the most because you're the most like me, you are almost a living image of what I wish I was but can't even get close to. Maybe I'm a failed clone of you. Please don't let me bug you though, I'm like a parasite who ruins everything he touches. I kind of feel cursed. Maybe the best option is to stop talking or doing anything, because nothing good ever seems to come from me.

A person who has never made mistakes? That seems very hard to find, almost impossible! Why would I miss out on an opportunity to meet such a person?

You already know someone like that. It's you! I'm not kidding, you are that type who does everything right. I've never seen you make a single mistake, even when it's nearly impossible not to. If you do, it's rare and tiny. I was at least half as good as you when I was younger but for some reason when puberty came I hit rock bottom and it keeps getting worse and I don't know what to do, and I think I'll probably be stuck like this forever and ever and ever.

Political triangle, it's legit like the 5th version of the questions. I could never program the answers like you either because I'm a retard. I barely figured out the triangle I have now.

Meemsouprice, cojoco, missmurr, AddictedReddit, on ruqqus TunaSquisher and Obama_Brigade. And maybe you too, seeing as you're already an admin in less than a year of joining saidit, just like those two were instantly put at the top of ruqqus.

Whoa whoa whoa. Conservatives don't hate you. They may disagree with some of your policy positions and they may think you've become infected with liberalism (it's not personal, there's plenty to around). But as long as you don't care the disagreement (and yes the judgement calls) personally then you will certainly not be hated.

yeah, tam went on a witch hunt against users who called out his shit when he first introduced himself then did get the fawning adoration he was hoping for. I think only I'm left. He's not making friends

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

The word "hate" is a hyperbole, but nine times out of ten: the further away from the center you are, the more likely you'll dislike me.

I never said Conservatives hate me — I said right-wingers hate me. I'm a Conservative, a Progressive-Conservative. I'm nothing like Liberals, matter of fact: we disagree on just about every issue. I'm pro-life, support universal healthcare, etc. Liberals don't.

After looking at this and your website and what might appear to be the quiz, some minor notes:

1) If you're this interested in actual politics, you might want to work on running for office. Your target demographic might be close to Libertarian, but if you want to win an election, register for the party that is gerrymandered for your favored party. It may take a few years to get the necessary support, and to complete community and local politics projects.

2) /r/neoliberal users are remarkably "left" of "neo liberal". Neoliberalism is a century old, but many of the kids on Reddit wouldn't understand that (though some might / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism). For many in recent memory, Neoliberalism developed a following under Bill Clinton, who is - buy many standards - a centrist. His administration was famous for making deals across the aisle. Massive cuts to welfare, numerous private prisons, and especially significant deregulation were some of the 'neoliberal' concessions to Republicans. Many in /r/neoliberal wouldn't understand.

3)

I'm pro-life

For many who are not right-wing, this means that life begins at conception, rather than after the 1st trimester (self-awareness), and that new laws which prohibit all forms of abortion, at any time after conception, for any reason, would return conditions for women to pre-1970s extremely dangerous and/or expensive procedures, as well as abusive living standards. Pre-Roe v. Wade abortion laws were extremely abusive to women, and were especially a form of class warfare. Wealthy women did not have to worry about this, but the 99% suffered, as they would again. Much more I can say about this, but this is the beginning. A centrist would hopefully support Roe v. Wade, though want to restrict abortions after the first trimester, as is already in the legislation of some states.

support universal health-care (at the state level)

States would abuse this, as have some of the poorer states. A centrist would want to reform the current version of universal health-care, which is still too expensive, and would want to protect Medicare &c (which Republicans want to cut).

believe in constitutional carry

This could be seen as valuing all forms of carrying automatic weapons, in any manner at any time, and the ability to get most kinds of small arms without substantial background checks and without appropriate registration. A centrist (or center-left) might see this as dangerous, as it has been for school children and others. The majority of Reddit LOVES guns of all types and will downvote to oblivion anyone who wants to restrict them. I suspect Saiditors also love guns.

advocate for a Universal Basic Income

The demographics on this are very interesting, showing that many Republicans agree with a $15 minimum wage. It's also interesting that Senator Manchin (Dem. who is politically a Repub.) killed this poriton of the recent stimulous bill, which would have passed the Senate. Universal basic income should be a centrist issue, as well as a centrist-right issue, but there are other Republican policies that work against this and work against small businesses.

      I'm really cut on the abortion question. A part of me see the economical advantage of having it. The other part see how it's wrong moraly.

      But I have a tendency of going the economical way since a mother who will want to abort wouldn't be a good mother to begin with either because she's too young or not ready or simply doesn't want child. So the child will have a higher probability of becoming a weight for the society. Often abortion are with monoparental mother and these children have higher crime rate and more of them drop out of school.

      It's a dismalish view, but I feel It's for the better in the long run.
