    3 or 4 of the questions were bad. There was one about “A strongly hierarchical government is more efficient,” or something like that.

    And I think…”Yeah. Prolly more efficient….but not preferable. So…what am I supposed to do?”

    Hey, folks. Hope all is well.

    This came out differently than I would have expected. I identify as a Libertarian Socialist. So this surprises me a bit:

    Closest Match: Libertarian Communism

    Ideological matching is a work in progress, and is much less accurate than the values and axes.

    I’m kinda surprised by the Begonias. Everyone knows those are reactionary flowers. Real leftists love red red roses.

    I see I’m the only one who ranks as “Revolutionary” on the Societal Axis. The rest of you are merely “Very Progressive”.

    Ya know I don’t think I should be hanging out with the likes of you people anymore. As often happens in relationships, one person grows while the other stagnates. It’s no one’s fault but it happens. So I’m not sure a ‘very progressive’ board like this has anything left to offer a bonafide Revolutionary like myself.

    I mean, look at it from my point of view. How would it look if some of the other Revolutionaries came by and saw me slumming it up with a bunch of ‘very progressives’?

    Anyhow, it’s over. We can still be friends but if you see me with other Revolutionaries for gawd sakes act like you don’t know me.

    Thanks and goodbye.

    Well done, Nittany.

    ;>)

    I think I failed to gain my revolutionary bonafides because I made the mistake of saying it was good to maintain a connection to the past. All seriousness aside, I believe this. I love connecting with the past, via history, from as many points of view as possible, the living, the dead, encased in stone, or bookshelves, or sarcophagi. Music, the arts, literature, folkways, food, etc. etc.

    The test probably was trying to suss out a sense of a person’s possible “reactionary” temptations, if they looked back to a “golden age,” which has long been a classic right-wing trope. But the questions really didn’t offer a sufficient choice, IMO, or allow us to differentiate between a feeling that the past was important to learn from and connect with, versus dwelling there too long, or romanticizing said past.

    I had a similar struggle with the technology question. Can’t remember it exactly, but it asked about automation along with tech, and I couldn’t go there because of the automation part. But the tech overall? Yeah. I can see that being quite useful. Automation, however, is a huge threat to workers everywhere. It has the potential to wipe out literally hundreds of millions of jobs in the not too distant future, including those from the “professional” class.

    Regardless, well done, Nittany.

    For your information Revolutionaries are ranked via the Scoville Heat Scale that is commonly used to rank peppers. I fall somewhere between the Zimbabwe Bird Chile and the Habenaro.

    What’s your take on red peppers?
