Have you guys ever tried this test?

What do you think of it?

Here's where I landed:

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

So many times it's not fun any more. I'm always in the center most 4 green squares.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Ah, I guess it's new to me lol

The test defined me as a Libertarian Socialist which is, from what I can gather, basically an anarchist. Sounds about right.

If you get social issues right, good for you. But if economics do not support that, then really all you are are about money.

Yeah, I don't do these.  I know where I stand politically.

Can it hurt to cross-reference where you think you stand politically against their criteria?

Poor rural whites, middle class red state whites and red state farmers would do far better to stop allowing the GOP convince them they are "Going to be replaced".

MLK said many times in his advocacy that the better that minorities do, the better everyone does.

The old bullshit "bootstraps" crap, isn't about doing that. It is about the wealthy pitting zip codes against each other to get them all on the hamster wheel to chase the carrot the rich know is not there, but designed to convince those below them to chase that carrot.

Better economics is when you pay livable wages, IN ALL ZIP CODES.

Usually I'm left of center, on the authoritarian side, but not extreme in either direction. What do you call a left leaning authoritarian?
