I Identify As A Circle

[A.B.Yaffle 24]

I see several posters being aggressive and scornful of other posters based on their perceived political position.

 

Some posters love to wind people up by throwing terms like woke, extreme far left, guardian reader, scrubber, unwashed, etc at people.

 

Other posters love to throw accusations such as daily fail reader, far right, racist etc.

 

Is there an actual test to find out what we should identify as?

 

I think the world is a sphere so if you go far enough to the left and your "enemy" moves far enough to the right you end up meeting, which means you might actually agree on some things.

 

I self identify as a political circle because I agree strongly with some "left" policies but also with some "right" policies.

 

In the past I have been accused by some of being a commie, and others of being far right.

 

Where are you on the political spectrum?

I think most people are like that, which is why labelling them as 'Right' or 'Left' is a waste of time,

or used simply to deflect a good argument when they have no other answer. 

 

I identify as a rubber band.

Politicians are corrupt WEF puppets. I don't trust anyone that tries to take away my freedom, force me to wear a mask and take a dangerous jab.

I think people should respect your views, as they seem very important to you Irene. We should all be entitled to our views and opinions and not scorned just because we don't agree with each other on everything.

My friend refused to have “ The dangerous jab !” as she didn’t believe in them. Unfortunately she died later in hospital from Covid.!

They might have said it was 'COVID' but I wouldn't trust that they were telling the truth.

You could try this one: The Political Compass.

I'd argue that i'm pretty central with a leaning more towards conservatism (the principle, not the party!) and, like you, agree with some points on both sides and disagree with some points on both sides.

 

However, in the eyes of some, if you're not left you are 'literally Hitler', a bigot, an -ist, a -phobe etc.

[A.B.Yaffle 24]

I know groups like  BNP EDL etc like to look to Hitler as a right wing hero, but I have always believed he was a socialist. Didn't he lead the national socialist party (NAZI).

Even though I believe in the usefulness of the vaccine, there is a widespread belief that in the early times of the pandemic anyone who died in hospital with covid was certified as having died from covid.

 

Theoretically I could have stabbed my neighbour and sent him into intensive care, and he got infected with covid and died later, his death could be recorded as covid.
