EcoSocial Charting Test

Welcome! This test is based off of the Political Compass test, current political issues, and Wikipedia. Most of the questions are taken from the Political Compass test, but rephrased to be less biased, and less vague. ALL of the answers have been handwritten, and composed of popular ideologies, so that as you read through each one, you are also exposed to opposing ideologies in a clearer, more thought-out manner. This is in the hopes of giving people a better understanding of their opponents, and maybe make them even rethink their positions on some issues. There may be some answers that will be wildly against what you believe, but other people do believe them, so please try to withhold your ire.

Neutral/Centrist is now also an option as a "third" party to both Liberalism and Conservatism, and Authoritarianism and Libertarianism. Many of the answers will contain combinations of several parties and ideologies, and are not all black and white. Unlike Political Compass, each answer is not of a "traditional" setting to one party or another, but follows the overlap of the current world. If you come across a question without a suitable answer, try to find the one you can best identify with. There also usually more neutral options, or options to skip some questions - the latter will not change your stats. For those curious, the creator of the test comes up as an almost dead-center Centrist on every issue. He leans slightly more to the left, and slightly more Libertarian.

If economic globalization is inevitable, it should primarily serve small businesses and artists, rather than large, preexisting corporations.
- Serve small businesses. Every individual deserves to be successful.
- Corporations provide jobs and benefits to millions. Globalization is more useful to them.
- While corporations are also important, globalization should provide benefits and equal opportunities for all career options.
The current country you live in is superior to many others, and you would support it in most international issues. (Assumes Western heritage)
- My country is good, and I would support it on most issues, unless we were really in the wrong.
- My country is okay, but I would only support it on issues regarding our defense, and maintaining our freedom and culture.
- My country is not great, and the less our government is in our lives, the better.
Are you proud of your country, or to be from your country of origin?
- I have nothing to be proud of, as I cannot control where I was born. My country is generally okay.
- I am proud, and I would die for this country.
- I am not proud, in fact, I am regularly upset with my country.
How do you view your race?
- My race has qualities that make it better in some areas, and worse in others. I slightly prefer being a majority.
- My race has qualities that make it better in some areas, and worse in others. We are all diverse, and we should not try to conform everyone into the same grey blob, but acknowledge that we have differences between us.
- We are all the same under the skin. Cultural diversity is always good, but no one should ever be affected by being a different race.
- Some races are superior to others, and they should serve.
- Some races are slightly superior to others, but we should all have equal rights.
- We are not all the same, but we should treat each other as though we are.
- I don't like the actions that my race has taken in the past, and I would like to see us become a minority for a change (assumes you are a majority race).
- A combination of any of these answers...
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a good saying.
- Sometimes it applies, but we should also not discard alternative options to things. Three party politics will always be better than two.
- Forming alliances to take down a common enemy is a smart move.
- Only you can fight your own battles. Don't win because you had numbers, win because you were smarter or stronger.
Should education/information be fused with entertainment?
- No, it is important not to make light of issues or facts. They should be separate.
- It is much more enjoyable - and easier to learn something - when the lesson is made entertaining.
- Sometimes it is fun to be delightfully informed, but some matters are serious and should be treated as such.
What divides people more?
- Nationality
- Social class
- Economic class
- Personal identity
- Religion
- Refusal to listen to reason
- Echo-chambers
- A combination of all of the above
Which is more important to be controlled...
- ... Unemployment. If more people are employed, the economy is better stimulated, and the poor can be elevated.
- ... Inflation. If even the poor can't afford to eat or clean themselves, they can never get jobs. Rising costs make it so a family of four can no longer even be supported by one income anymore.
- Both are equally important. Minimum wage increases may stimulate jobs and help the poor lead better lives, but will only inflate prices more, which hurts everyone.
Corporations should protect the environment, and require regulation to do so.
- Yes.
- No.
- No, a true free market lets anyone with the right drive and pragmatism be successful.
- Yes, the environment is in immediate, grave danger.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a quote often attributed to Karl Marx, indicating an idyllic society wherein enough goods and services have been produced for everyone to live comfortably. It also implies that one would then only ever work in jobs that they desired.
- I agree. The wealthy have a enough resources to sustain us all, but they hoard most of the wealth. If everyone had wealth, we could all live happily.
- I disagree, once the desire for wealth and to sate personal needs is gone, no one will work, and such a society will collapse.
- If such a society could be achieved without government enforcement, it would be excellent.
- Such a society could only be achieved through neutralizing the economy, where everyone has equal wealth. No goods or services would ever traded, because nobody would every get anything in return.
- While it sounds nice on paper, there a lot of flaws with such a slogan. Who would work the undesirable jobs that need doing? What about people with personal differences? Some people prefer to live in a small house and raise a family, while others prefer to live in a mansion, and party on yachts.
Are you disappointed in the fact that some water is bottled and sold?
- No, someone found a desire within the free market, and took advantage.
- Yes, water is a basic human right, and if you're walking all day, you should just be able to grab a glass of water from anywhere for free.
- If I'm thirsty, it's sometimes nice to be able to have portable water that's resealable. The bottle is also reusable, so I can bring my own water around for next time.
Is land a commodity? Should you be able to own property?
- No. The earth is for everyone, and we are all equal. We should share it equally.
- Yes. Having your own isolated place is nice for fleeing from the bustling of everyday life.
- Housing is a basic right to survive, and it should be provided.
- Everyone should be able to live wherever they choose, that doesn't bother someone else.
- All of these answers raise valid points. I would find a nice balance.
How do you view most of the rich?
- They are usually snakes that find loopholes to not pay taxes on fortunes they got from their parents.
- They engaged in the free market with a good supply, and capitalized on the demand. We could all be like them.
- Many are just people who had strong visions and determination to succeed, though it is somewhat more difficult in these times to reach success like they had.
- They contribute nothing to society, and their wealth should be distributed to everyone else.
- They pay a lot in taxes which keep our society afloat, and they deserve the same rights as the rest of us. Including the right to succeed.
How do you feel about taxing imports to protect your own economy?
- It is good, so long as other countries are still encouraged to trade with us.
- It is bad, as it only isolates our economy, and stumps overall growth.
- If we import too much, our own economy will become worthless, and our workers will start to go to the richer countries.
- Cultural diversity is important, and thus importing from other cultures is equally as important. We shouldn't discriminate.
- A nice balance to not drive away other countries' exports but still fosters our own economical growth is difficult to achieve, but is essential.
Should the rich be taxed more than 40% (based on the US taxation system)?
- Not enough. They still hoard all of the wealth, it needs to be more evenly distributed throughout society.
- Too much. They earned that money fair and square. As long as they don't cheat on their taxes, they deserve their fortunes.
- Slightly more. There is still a wealth problem, but overall most rich people worked hard for their money. They shouldn't then lose it all, that's just unfair (and will drive them to move out of the country, which is even worse).
- Slightly less. Being in that tax bracket is pretty harsh, and if they leave the country because taxes are too high, they will just take their money and job-providing companies with them. Tax breaks are a good idea for corporations in exchange for jobs.
- I think 40% is fine. Not too much, not too little.
Privatized healthcare, or socialized healthcare?
- Privatization fosters improvement, good service, and quick treatment times.
- Socialized healthcare will help everyone in need. Your life shouldn't depend on your economic class.
- Some private hospitals AND some government hospitals. Both should be held to a certain government standard for health and safety concerns, of course.
- A combination of both, wherein every hospital receives a certain amount of government funding, with the rest coming from each individual that goes in. The hospitals that patients go to the most, and receive the best treatment at, get more government funding, to both foster healthy competition, AND keep costs down for those who enter (more skilled doctors will also be paid more). The hospitals without the best equipment wouldn't receive as many customers, but would have cheaper prices for those really in need, or those whose injuries are not too serious. Hospitals too low on quality care would be reexamined or removed.
Businesses that commit unethical practices should be penalized by the government.
- Yes. They need to be held to a certain standard.
- No. As long as it is not illegal, they should be allowed to run without government interference.
Should international conglomerates be restricted from setting up monopolies?
- The idea of the free market is that we all start from equal opportunities, and work our way up. That being said, they also bring in their outside money and create jobs, which is good for the economy... Ultimately, I think if they CAN set up a monopoly in the free market, they should be allowed to with some minimal restrictions.
- The idea of the free market is that we all start from equal opportunities, and work our way up. That being said, they also bring in their outside money and create jobs, which is good for the economy... Ultimately, I think the government needs to keep a close watch on them, and offer incentives to other possible homeland competitors to prevent a monopoly.
- Yes, monopolies are dangerous, and anti-consumerism.
- No, if they can make it in the free market, they should be unimpeded.
Does the free market allow us all an equal chance at success?
- Yes.
- No.
- Somewhat, but it has its drawbacks too.
How do you feel about abortion?
- Abortion is fine, but should be more of a last resort. The amount of abortions in the US is way too high, and could be feasibly below 1000 a year, with proper birth control and sexual education. Men and women should have a say in the fate of the baby.
- Abortion is a woman's right, as it is her body. The fetus means nothing, it is just a clump of cells. The man should have no say in the matter.
- Abortion is a woman's right, as it is her body, and having a baby could potentially harm her. A baby is also a financial responsibility, thus the man should get to have a say in the matter.
- Abortion is wrong, as just as a fetus is a clump of cells, so are full grown adults. Once you start the chain reaction that creates a living thing, you shouldn't end it. You should just not start it to begin with.
- Abortion goes against my religion, and women are meant to be wives and mothers anyway.
- I am too divided on this issue.
- Abortion is fine, but should be more of a last resort. The amount of abortions in the US is way too high, and could be feasibly below 1000 a year, with proper birth control and sexual education. Men and women should have a say in the fate of the baby. The government should pay for abortion clinics.
Should we question any authority?
- We should question everything. That does not mean we should not OBEY authority.
- Yes, authority often only seeks to make us part of the status quo.
- Only in extreme cases - usually the powers that be know what's going on the most. They are there to lead us, that is their job.
- Only sometimes, there are some laws that are just too much for me.
- Generally, but keep a level head about it. Authority is sometimes needed for order.
Man's first homogenized rule-set came from the Hammurabi Code. One of its mandates decreed, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
- This is a good mentality. If someone hurts you, reparations must be paid in an equal amount.
- This is a bad mentality. Our justice system has become much more refined, and so have we as people. Crimes should be punished, but we shouldn't succumb to barbarism.
- There's a reason Mosaic Law took over that so quickly, and gave us the justice system we have now...
- Good on an individual, day-to-day level. Bad on a government court or criminal level.
Should more artistic or historical locations/landmarks/monuments/establishments be preserved with taxpayer money, if they can't sustain themselves financially by consumers?
- If we're talking about just man-made stuff, no. If we're talking about the environment itself, yeah.
- If they cannot survive the free market, then they should fail. Otherwise what's the point of a free market?
- We should preserve as much as we can. You cannot replace art or history.
- It depends on the case, really, I would rather just vote on the big stuff, and have only the small stuff made more publicized, so more people could learn about whatever it is and support it financially. But if they don't care, then they don't care.
Should classroom attendance be mandatory, pre-post-secondary?
- Yes, education is essential.
- No, if they don't want to go, you can't make them.
- Education is important, but occasionally a day or two away is fine. As long as they catch up.
Is spanking a valid option for an unruly child (not the same as child abuse)?
- I would prefer to use my words, spanking is only a last resort.
- No. It IS the same as child abuse, no matter how lightly you do it.
- Yes. Some children are simply little terrors, and anyone who thinks you can talk sense to a screaming, troublesome four-year-old has never raised a kid.
- Sometimes. My parents spanked me, and I grew up with respect.
How much should children obey their parents, and tell the truth?
- Only enough to be raised right. (Subjective)
- Always. Respect is important.
- Never. Let them be free spirits, and enjoy childhood before real life sets in.
Marijuana.
- Legalize it! There are studies that show it cures cancer, and a number of other diseases.
- I think it should be legal, but have the same restrictions as alcohol. If people want to do it, let them do it.
- It is a drug, and should be treated like one. There are studies that show it is addictive, causes paranoia, night terrors, insomnia, cancer, and forgetfulness.
- There are studies that show it has some negative effects and some positive effects. If it were to be legalized, I would like it these studies to be widely public, and for the government to control the sale of it, for safety and economic reasons. An odorless-only one would also be appreciated, as it smells awful.
- Legalize it! There are studies that show it cures cancer, and a number of other diseases. I like to get high.
- Legalize it or decriminalize it, but mostly because my main concern is the filling prisons.
- Decriminalize it only.
Should school's main purpose be to help direct people's career choices, and help them find jobs out of school?
- They should provide a good amount of job-finding skills, and offer programs for a wide-variety of careers, but school also has other important subjects to cover.
- Yes, we need all the help we can get finding jobs.
- No, you should be able to find a job on your own merit and determination.
- School should be more about social learning, and finding your identity in a safe place.
Should people with serious inheritable disabilities be restricted from reproducing?
- Yes. There are some really horrible diseases out there that we shouldn't perpetuate. It only hurts more people in the long run.
- If the disabilities are very serious, it should be considered; it would have to be on a case-by-case basis though.
- No, they are people too. We should celebrate diversity, and not restrict anyone's rights.
- While I think it is terrible that said diseases would carry on, I would not wish to infringe on anyone's fundamental rights like that. Perhaps if we could talk to them personally instead, and not have the government intervene in their choices.
Discipline and respect are two of the most important values.
- Yes, they give you drive to succeed, and the ability to work well with others.
- No, compassion and empathy are more important. There are people out there who really need our help.
- They are important, but sometimes we all need a little downtime. People also need to earn your respect.
- There are too many values that are important for me to answer this well.
Are some cultures more "savage" than others?
- Yes, there places where women are still second-class citizens, and have their heads cut-off.
- Look at Europe before and after...
- No, all cultural diversity is beautiful, and we should embrace all they have to offer. They simply grew up in a different world.
- It would be discriminatory to say so... and hate speech.
- Some cultures will definitely have more trouble integrating into Western society, that's for sure. I hate to say it, but there are some ideologies I think they should leave back home, if they come here.
- Nobody is perfect. While I might visit them, I prefer living in my own country.
- Some cultures are barbaric and should be wiped out.
Should more "savage" cultures be restricted in having access to Western countries?
- No. There is no such thing as a savage culture, and cultural diversity is essential. We should not discriminate.
- With all the terrorism in the world, it is a good idea to have careful screening checks of those who come to the West. Refugees should not be treated any differently.
- Yes, they should be banned from entering this country, until they can learn how to behave.
- Yes, it should be more of a hassle for less-civilized countries to emigrate to the West, to discourage terrorism.
- They should be allowed in, and we should not treat them any differently, but we should have tighter homeland security to prevent terrorism.
- If they agree to be put on a watch-list, but have the same amount of rights as everyone else, I would prefer that.
Do you think that those who can work, but refuse the opportunity, should not receive welfare, or similar socioeconomic assistance?
- No, welfare should be an equal opportunity for all, even if they denied a job they dislike.
- Sometimes you have to take what you can get. You can't always work the job you want, but if you get the money and experience from it, you'll have a better shot at another job later.
- I think there should be only a certain number of job "vetoes" before one can be cut-off from welfare.
- There are people out there who suffer from unconscious or systemic oppression, and need that money to support their families. We should help them as best we can, even if it drains on our resources as a whole.
- I think we should have more varied welfare-type systems in place for more specific circumstances. People with drug abuse problems should be assisted in different ways to somebody who just got laid off.
- I think we should have more varied welfare-type systems in place for more specific circumstances. People with drug abuse problems should be assisted in different ways to somebody who just got laid off. A certain number of job "vetoes" is also a good idea.
- People on welfare are only sponges on the system, and are usually addicts. They need to stand on their own two feet, like everyone else.
Can first-generation immigrants be fully integrated into a society?
- No, they are too steeped in their previous culture. They might be able to adapt in some time, but will always be somewhat more concerned with their own foreign interests than the locals.
- Yes, they just need someone to show them the ropes. Many of them only come to Western countries for a better life, and want to integrate. Their diversity will be appreciated.
- Yes, they just need someone to show them the ropes. Many of them only come to Western countries for a better life, and want to be part of our wonderful society.
- They can, but it is very difficult. If they want to integrate, they probably will eventually, and their children will also be integrated.
- They can be mostly integrated, but will always have a little piece of themselves from back home. Their children will also probably have some difficulty adapting, as the culture at home will always be different to the rest of the culture around.
- It really depends on the person and the culture they are from. Integration is important to achieve though.
- It really depends on the person and the culture they are from. I don't think we should try to stamp out their culture either - diversity is good.
Is it good for everyone if corporations are doing well?
- Yes. They bring in jobs and foreign money.
- No, they pollute, cheat, and end up becoming monopolies.
- As long as we do not all become faceless corporate blobs, working for the same company, then yes. Big corporations have a lot of value, just like small businesses do.
Do find the encroachment of our freedom in the name of counter-terrorism unpleasant?
- I would prefer a lot more freedom, for a little security. Privacy is more valuable than fringe dangers. "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
- I would prefer a lot of security, for a little bit of freedom. Safety is everyone's top concern. "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear."
- I prefer 70/30 in favor of freedom.
- I prefer 70/30 in favor of security.
- I prefer a good balance of both.
- I prefer a good balance of both, with more emphasis on checking people as they come through the borders, and less emphasis on internet tracking.
How do you feel about a one-party state in a democratic political system?
- It removes all infighting, and endless debate where nothing gets done. Sure, it might not be the best, but it's still a good idea.
- Even if the party is great, it's still incredibly dangerous. What if they change ideals, or a new leader takes power? There is too much abuse for corruption, and the government is corrupt enough as it is.
- We need more parties to choose from, and more freedom to vote how we want, not less.
"If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear" is a popular saying among those who call for more civil surveillance to apprehend criminals, and counter terrorism. How do you feel?
- Cameras in major urban centers: yes. In our homes, neighborhoods, or our internet: no. Privacy is important for sanity, and sometimes you just want to look up embarrassing stuff on the internet.
- Criminals need to be punished. I agree with the saying, more surveillance is good. If what your doing isn't wrong, then you have no reason to hide it.
- It is absolutely out of the question. Nanny states only keep everyone under fear, and just helps the government track you, usually to exploit you.
- If a shopowner or private citizen wants to survey their property, that's fine. But we are not the government's property.
How do you feel about the death penalty?
- It is absolutely out of the question. No one deserves to have the time they have left to atone or rehabilitate taken from them.
- Death penalty only for mentally deranged people, like pedophiles. I don't want my tax dollars paying for him/her.
- For really bad people, it's okay. Murder, child abduction, rape, or terrorism are all good examples of what should be punished this way.
- If you break the law, the death penalty should always be a threat, at the decision of the judge. All crime would go away if people were afraid to commit one.
- I really can't decide on this issue. (Omit)
Civilized societies must always have some sort of hierarchy.
- No, there are tribes out there that do not obey this, and live peacefully and respectfully with each other.
- Everything in nature has some sort of order, and so must we.
- Everything in nature has some sort of order, but we have evolved past many of them. Everyone is generally equal, and we only answer to few.
- True equality would eliminate the need for any hierarchies or classes.
- Some people will always be less inclined to work hard, and others that will be a natural leader. Some that only teach, or others that govern. There are classes that exist, but that doesn't necessarily mean we need to overthrow them, and encourage chaos. We need only to facilitate the choice to be a hard worker, or a natural leader, or a government official (etc). What's really important is closing the gaps between each class, and making sure no one is above the law.
- A child obeys its parent. I obey my supervisor. That's life.
- All must be equal under the sun, no one is worth more than another, or should control another.
How do you feel about abstract art?
- It's stupid, and usually used for money laundering. Some of it is legit, but I hate that too.
- It's stupid, and usually used for money laundering. Some of it is legit, and that's fine. Creation can take many forms.
- It's stupid, and usually used for money laundering. Some of it is legit, and I often like that stuff.
- A lot of it is really cool, except the really post-modern, "look at this canvas I painted entirely blue except for this yellow spot in the top-left".
- Really depends on the piece. Some of it is a scam.
- I love all art. There is no "bad" art.
- I wish to omit this question. (Omit)
Would you prefer the justice system focus on punishment or rehabilitation?
- They hurt someone. The punishment should fit the crime.
- Rehabilitation is good, but it should usually be a distasteful process, so they would not be encourage to slip back into their old ways in the future.
- I'm 70/30 in favor of punishment over rehabilitation.
- I'm 70/30 in favor of rehabilitation over punishment.
- Rehabilitation will keep these people out of prison in the long run, saving us tax money. We should focus more on making them better people.
- I am evenly divided. It's a case-by-case basis sort of thing.
Can some criminals be immune to rehabilitation efforts?
- Yes.
- No.
- Maybe so, but we still must try. We cannot treat anyone differently, as that would be unfair.
- Everything is case-by-case, and every criminal needs different treatment.
- Yes, and they should be put to work to better our society, to at least pay for their crimes.
- Yes, and they should be executed.
Is industry more important than art?
- Industry provides work for the many, while art provides work for the few. Industry should be somewhat more of a concern to sustain.
- Everyone spends their downtime enjoying art, whether it be a game, book, painting, or movie. It is necessary to allow people to express themselves, or blow off steam. Companies come and go, so I prefer to sustain art and creation.
- Industry is a major concern. I don't really get art anyway.
- Art is a major concern. The masses may be moved through the messages one can weave in art. One has the power to change anything and everything wielding emotions through art.
- They are both very different beasts, but both important.
- I dislike them both, and am more just out to sustain myself.
Women as career-makers, or women as homemakers?
- Homemakers. They can get a job if they want, but the children come first. The man should be able to provide enough of an income to sustain the family.
- Careers. A working woman is an independent woman, and they should be strong.
- Women have the right to choose. You can even be both, though difficult.
- I prefer women who are more interested in being homemakers than having a career, but that's just me.
- I prefer women who are more interested in having a career than kids, but that's just me.
Let's assume a multinational corporation is damaging the environment or exploiting it in a developing country. How do you feel?
- They should be told to stop entirely.
- They should be told to stop, or purchase the land for a large sum. They should also be responsible for helping to replace some of what they have damaged or taken elsewhere in the country.
- They should be made to purchase the land.
- They should be allowed to harvest the same resources in a country with less turmoil or economic uncertainty.
- I'm not too concerned. It is a free market, and they can do what they want if they don't hurt anyone.
- They should be made to stop entirely, and replace whatever it is they have damaged or taken. They should also have their business licenses suspended.
Is it maturity if one realizes that being a cog in the machine is sometimes okay and benefits everyone as a whole, and that the possibility to do other things also exists? (When one stops "raging against the machine")
- No. Resist being anything but an individual. Don't lose your way, or sight of who you are. Don't sell out.
- Yes, the machine needs cogs in order to function, but we can still be free to do many things, and be different.
- Yes, we should work hard for the greater good, and accept that we are all individually nothing. But we can push the world into the future together.
- It stands to reason that all of these answers have some validity to them, and that case-by-case examination of each situation is better. In general, not defying authority at every turn is a good idea, and realistically, sometimes you do need to work jobs you don't prefer.
Religion is... (Assume Christianity here)
- ... awful. The immense death and hatred it has caused is staggering.
- ... a tool to control us.
- ... still undecided to me. I am agnostic.
- ... dependant on who is using it for what. It can be used to control people, just as it can be used to help people. There are some things in the Bible that are true, and some things that are parables. Ultimately I subscribe to both science and religion.
- ... okay, but not for me. The amount of war or hatred it breeds is not NEARLY as much as most people think. I don't hate it or anything, I think you should believe what you want to believe.
- ... bad, but I won't take it away from anyone who wants it. Sometimes religion does really good things, and churches usually help more in their community or the Third World than they hinder.
- ... evil. And the government should make it illegal, honestly.
- ... dependant on who is using it for what. It can be used to control people, just as it can be used to help people. There are some things in the Bible that are true, and some things that are parables. Ultimately I subscribe to only science for now.
Separate church and state?
- Absolutely, let the church be their own entity.
- Even Jesus did so in Matthew 22:21, so yes.
- We should not have any churches.
- No, this will only contribute to moral decay.
- I wish to omit this question. (Omit)
How do you feel about sex before marriage?
- I am for it, though I recognize it facilitates sleeping around, and having multiple partners.
- Marriage is obsolete.
- It is immoral, and should be illegal.
- It is against my religion, but others may choose to do it if they wish...
- I am asexual. I don't care one way or the other.
Should same sex couples be allowed to adopt children?
- Yes, we are all equal, and the parental relationship will not at all affect the child.
- Yes, but it also depends on the couple.
- No, unless they are not "overly" homosexual, and are very certain to be a stable, loving family.
- No, it is immoral.
- I really don't know. (Omit)
- Yes, but they should be held to random checks by a government official to ensure the environment is not too "odd".
p---ography (of consenting adults) should be legal for adults?
- Yes, and more prominent in our culture.
- Yes, but less prominent in our culture.
- Yes, and as it is now. (Assumes Western country)
- No, it's gotten out of control.
- No, it's immoral.
Are you born with a sexuality?
- I think the urge to procreate is natural, and thus only heterosexual behaviour is natural.
- I believe you are born with a sexuality. You can't choose who you want to have intercourse with.
- I don't think you are born with a sexuality, but I don't think it is a choice either, as there are too many who switch sexuality over time. I believe it is a combination of your current environment, upbringing, relationship with each sex, circle of influence, life experiences, and relationships with your parents.
- I don't think you can be born with a sexuality.
- I think being anything other than heterosexual is either a disease, or the person in question just wishes to be different. It's a disorder that should be cured.
- Homosexuality is immoral.
- I don't think there is enough scientific data to answer this yet. (Omit)
What is transgenderism?
- A result of gender dysphoria, a mental illness that is not being treated correctly. We have had ever growing acceptance of transgenders since the 1990s, and sex change surgeries since the 1930s, yet the suicide rate remains a consistent 40%. We need better mental health treatment.
- A result of gender dysphoria, a mental illness that is currently being treated correctly with more acceptance, and surgery. People should be who they are, even if that means becoming another gender.
- Gender is the same as sex, and you cannot fight biology. I don't care that transgenders exists, but I do care about the undermining of biology as a valid science.
- Gender is the same as sex, and you cannot fight biology. You are what you are, you cannot be the "spirit" of one sex inside, and be another on the outside. You cannot be "born in the wrong body".
- There are more than two genders, and you can identify with any of them at any time. A gender is simply how you feel in the moment.
- Transgenderism undermines the ideals of gender equality by creating an arbitrary gap between men and women (it fundamentally instills the idea that men and women are vastly different creatures). While changing your gender is fine, distancing men and women is not.
- Transgenderism undermines the ideals of gender equality by creating an arbitrary gap between men and women (it fundamentally instills the idea that men and women are vastly different creatures). I do not think transgenderism should be such a big issue, especially when it only affects a very tiny fragment of the population.
- I think there is far too much opinion and not enough research out there on this topic to make a decision.
Do you think modern society is too focused and open about sex?
- Yes.
- No.
- It is currently at a reasonable level.
- Somewhat.
- We could all be a little less prudish.
Hate speech is not free speech.
- Where do you draw the line? You cannot draw an arbitrary line in the abstract. You either have free speech or you don't. Some people may say dislikeable things, but you are free to ignore them or criticize them. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
- Hate speech should be punished by force. You hurt somebody, and we get to hurt you.
- Hate speech should be censored and punished if it is bad enough.
- Even microaggressions are hate speech, and should NOT be tolerated. We are all equal and diverse, and we all deserve respect and love.
- Sometimes places without hate speech are nice. But who decides what's hate speech?
Is feminism the only valid option for keeping men and women equal?
- No, men and women being equal is a belief that is independent of any movement.
- No, in fact feminism does nothing to help the women who actually need it, in Third World countries.
- No, in fact feminism does nothing to help the women who actually need it, in Third World countries, or the men who need it in the West.
- Yes, women won't be helped as much if we dropped feminism movement over a few bad eggs. It is already enormous, and a moving ball, so we can get more done with it.
- Yes, and anyone that thinks otherwise is most likely sexist, and are just trying to subtly bring down women by attacking feminism.
- No, men and women being equal is a belief that is independent of any movement. Feminism may have been good in the past, but it seems to not focus on any real issues anymore, and is constantly being shoved in people's faces.
- Feminism is okay, but there could be better options out there.
Which of these combinations best describes your commonly viewed sources of news?
- CNN; Buzzfeed; Huffington Post; Late Show with Stephen Colbert; NBC News.
- Fox News; Breitbart; Sean Hannity show; The Blaze.
- BBC; Yahoo News; Wallstreet Journal; unedited raw footage; cross-referenced stories from a wide range of sources.
- Wherever, I'm usually not too concerned with the source. (Omit)
- I purposefully mix and match between Liberal and Conservative news sources.
Is there white or male privilege? (Assumes the West)
- White privilege: yes, a bit; male privilege: no.
- Male privilege: yes, a bit; white privilege: no.
- Yes, they are both very real, and hurt other minorities more than anyone realizes.
- No, everyone is currently equal in opportunities, though those of lower economic typically have things harder. Equality of outcome is different to opportunity.
- I would say white men are about 99% equal with everyone else.
BAMN and Antifa are...
- ... violent cults, and examples of the very far-left (and very far down Libertarianism in some cases).
- ... groups with the right ideas. If we don't shut down Nazism now, it will spread and foster hate. They fight for freedom and equality.
- ... okay in ideals, but too violent for me. They make Liberals look evil and unreasonable.
- ... too big to judge. I'm sure some of them are probably good people, that don't engage in the violence.
