Apparently moderate left considering the political compass test. In reality, it doesn't fuckin' matter. If you don't agree with the fringe left you're far right.
As much as we've disagreed, I agree that's an issue. The thing is, the US leans a bit right from the global center, so aligning with the further right of the two leading parties in a somewhat already to-the-right country does place one further right than most. I think that's where the erroneous assertion comes from, but standard Republicans are hardly FAR-right.
That said, the exact opposite also happens; people are treated as ridiculously far-left for so much as wanting socialized healthcare while that's actually pretty much the standard now among most highly developed nations. Globally speaking it's just slightly left if not outright central. Far-left is communism territory.
The people who cry far-right usually have very little understanding of what that actually looks like: Things like outright ethnic cleansing possibly right around the corner. Similarly, people who cry far-left usually have virtually zero understanding of the world outside of the US and have utterly zero understanding that communism is light-years to the left of socialism, which is itself left of what most of these people who merely want a few more socialized programs want.
No one knows what they're talking about these days. I don't think the US has a great deal of people who are either truly far-right or far-left to be honest, although they do exist.
Yeah, that kinda just hit me the other day. I knew quite a few people who used to be leftists (or still are at heart) but became too embarrassed by the far left to associate with it anymore. Like come on y'all, let's make moderate views a thing again..
Just goes to show you how even moderates are seen as "right wing" nowadays so just imagine how right wingers are viewed.
I think the reason why I'll go after the left so much is because they dominate the culture at the moment and as they're leading the culture they're making some obvious, blatant, and bullshit double standards to the point they're comfortable blatantly doing it in the open because their followers won't call them out on it, meanwhile two scoops of ice cream is a Nazi dog whistle. It still fucks me up that the same people that justified the "unrest" of the BLM riots provably lied about Trump inciting a riot and everyone is just agreeing with the lie.
It's all a joke. I'm finding it hard not to find the humour in it all nowadays. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The political compass test is crap in my opinion. You can be an authoritarian rightist but the test pushes you to libertarian left with questions about astrology and abstract art. It’s also next to impossible to get authleft unless you’re a weird NazBol of some sort.
What are your political views?

I don't know how that happened.

Lol you seem so right wingy (whingey) to me, based on what you post here. That's a really interesting assessment. Huh

No!!! Everone either wants to convert kids to transexuality or lynch black people.
There's no such thing as people who just kinda want lower taxes or people who kinda want more socialized benefits
Antifa or nazi's apparently; choose a side.

Yeah if this is true I have no faith in that test.

I took that test too it said I was centrist
