    Oh God that is an ugly flag. I went neutral (what makes a man go neutral?) on several of the questions. Some of them were weirder than the astrology one.

    Oh I also got the anarchism and vegan badges. It's like I'm in Boy Scouts again except a hell of a lot less Mormon.

    I don’t consider myself a communist at all and was surprised to score as high as I did on the communist scale. Maybe there’s an Americentric measurement in which “belief in taxing the extremely wealthy enough to ensure a strong social safety net for everyone” is considered “communist.”

    Yeah I assume the bits of "comminism" I had were also about taxing the rich. That's about all I answered that would lend itself to that.

    Oh my other badge was called Missionary, because... I have a religion I guess?

    Nah, man. I've read about 500 op-eds on the subject over the past week or so and I can confidently conclude that I am a patriot.

    I just want to point out that I scored higher on internationalism than Ender.

    Mine was vegan.

    I’ve been vegetarian off and on during my adult life and I do try to limit my meat consumption and only eat sustainably farmed meat, but I’m not sure I’ve earned a vegan badge.

    Damn I had no idea I could bring down an entire system of economic and social structuring which can only be destroyed via the continuous and active confrontation of the proletariat by just buying a Pixel.

    Sorry folks, I've really let us all down.

    It's a sliding scale between a free market approach, which Iello and I advocate for with regulation; and for letting people control economies through total central planning. It goes to show how far you think the state should be involved in setting things like prices; quotas; types of goods produces and so on.

    To give you an example of how it would play out; Darth Guy's 95% communism score means his people will be starving and queuing for days for basic necessities, but by golly they'll do so equally. Take that, capitalists.

    I'm going to need you to hand in your fully automated luxury gay space communist party badge please.

    The last Apple product I bought was an iPod Classic in 2007, years before I came to my current political mindset.

    So there. I win the purity test now.

    Obviously your superficial trappings or traits are all that define you and your beliefs, Ramza. Like how since I'm a Christian I'm automatically both an idiot and a right wing nutjob. Duh.

    Yeah well, I'm going to go build my own party with blackjack and nihilist impossibilism. In fact, forget the party!

    I redid it a bit because I think I screwed up a question on research being shared outside my country. Changed most of the results.

    Got a better flag:

    Much more like how we envisioned Endland would look.

    [​IMG]

    Pragmatism: politics objectively boil down to looking at where the problems are and trying to solve them according to the means available.

    Monarchism: society should be organized around a Queen

    That's impressively flag-esque. If the whole cross was orange, or the pink were white, you'd be set.

    16, maybe? One for each side potentially being the only item over 50%?

    Me, in response to a GOP-meme comment of ‘libraries should be abolished’:

    “You’re an ***hole, and probably an illiterate one.”

    Ramza, in response to ‘math should be abolished’:

    “It’d certainly free up my schedule.”

    Maybe I could learn something.
