Yeah, some of those questions were poorly constructed.

FWIW I'm taking it in Chrome using an Android phone and haven't had that problem. Try taking a break after one question and then come back differently to see what happens. ... and yeah, some of the questions so far are poorly constructed and vague. It looks like it was written in French and then translated to English. It has a lot of spelling and grammar errors, even on one of the buttons ("See a ramdom result.")

It was written in french first, indeed.

I see you're 31% nationalist. How come you're always putting the US down, then? Is that just for show?

Not really, your social views are very libertarian as are mine - just different ways of getting there. I personally was surprised the test leaned me 70% Communist, the 17% gray area I thought would go to capitalism as I prefer a free but heavily regulated market that doesn't promote monopolistic or olipolic opportunists. You and me differ alot on rehab/punish justice though. You don't think prisons are overcrowded?

You and me differ alot on rehab/punish justice though. You don't think prisons are overcrowded? I do. And reform in the US is needed. And we need to get rid of mandatory minimum sentencing. And decriminalization (if not fully legalization) of drugs is needed, too. Also, summat needs to be done about recidivism rates. Let’s make no mistake about it: Prisons are not Correctional Institutions lol. Prisons are still needed, and will always be needed so I didn’t understand the question about abolishing prisons altogether. But they really should only be used for violent crimes and major fiscal crime like money laundering, fraud, etc. Beady for President in 2024. In all seriousness, I would fucking love to be a Senator.

I think the test was designed by someone in their late teens/early 20s. Some of those questions really were one-sided and extreme and others had really nothing to do with politics at all (maybe was a point to those but not well thought out). Prisons should be for the absolute worst (pedophiles/rapists, serial killers, etc.) and in the end, those inmates eat each other alive anyway. My cousin was in the "correctional" system for 18 years, going in for assisting in shoplifting a 7-eleven at 16 in the mid 90s and wasn't the aggressor. He was in a facility full of bottom feeders and had to spend all of his early adulthood in there. System needs a reform badly. That's why I'm not for capital punishment either - our tax dollars going towards executions that will eventually happen in the prison by said assailant or others is a cash dump.

My dot would be bottom line center, 3 blocks left. I don't think the market itself should be shelved entirely, but there can be ways to make it work that doesn't promote corporate greed.

The establishment’s aggression toward Corbyn only serves to confirm my belief that he is the man to bring some economic balance to this country, where everything currently has a price and people are expected to work themselves to death.

Economic Left/Right: -10.0 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.49 ... And I thought I was the biggest leftist on this forum Tbh, over the last few years I've become much more jaded and disconnected from politics, and as that's happened, I've drifted further across the compass (i.e. more extreme views, much less extreme actions). So if I hear some crap that's happened on the news, I'll register in my head that it's crap, then forget about it 5 seconds later (if I remembered all the crap, that wouldn't be particularly healthy for me ). Anyway, so I guess in my case it's more extreme apathy than leftism

If only economy was the only thing that mattered in managing a country. And the term "robust" is a peculiar description to it.
