'superior people' sounds anti-individualist to me. You do understand Marxism, right? Society is divided by class or race or whatever works to further the aims of the Party. Socialism? Pol Pot? Ring any bells?

What does Scott Adams say? Scholars will say whatever you pay them to, just like scientists and docotors.

I'll refer back to the results of my political compass test. How people feel about my comments is usually reflective of their relative distance from the center. My apparent fault is having a slight libertarian bias over authoritarianism.

That's where I imagine myself to be, maybe with a dash of military tribunals, like Nuremberg.

sgtlethargic -- I'll take the test if you post your result. www.politicalcompass.org › test

I could be persuaded. Since my last posting I watched this clip:

Appreciate that you took the time to post that. Where we're likely to find common ground is your libertarian values. You're less inclined to favor politicians controlling our body.

The x axis (left/right) extends that notion of bodily autonomy to include autonomy of the pocketbook.

I'm currently getting 'This site can’t be reached' so I may be a little [']tardy.

I think that link at #517 is corrupted.

Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.74

This system doesn't have the GIMP installed or I'd crop a screen shot.

I see that the X axis is economic. What would a collective/sovereign axis be called?

Anarchism, of course.

I count 16 hypotheticals.

Since this is the Scott Adams thread, ask WWSAD? He would say if you have a laundry list, pick the most important one.

Here's an easy one to answer: Should someone that stole the last election be eligible for re-election? Then, am I asking about 2016 or 2020?
