The continued existence and use of the political compass gives me hope that AI and algorithms and automation and all that shit is overblown wank and I won't get laid off for a robot

Mine is Economic Left/Right: -2.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.23 So Liberal left as I expected. It's good fun, give it a try. The Political Compass

If they're not anarchists (in their own definition not mine, no purity law) then what the frig are they doing adding their names to this statement? Why not Compass? Why not Momentum? Do you think that would make any sort of political sense? It's fucking mates rates here isn't it - that's what...

I sympathize, but thinking you can easily separate religion from someone's culture, country of origin, ethnicity, and family is a mistake, so being cautious and mostly respectful in criticism of religion is something I've found to generally be much more productive.

Politics is full of Thou Shalt Not. Entire legal systems are based on it. Rules aren't what I dislike about religion. Mass delusion and hypocritical moralising, 'praying for peace', preaching love while practising intolerance and supporting war are more my betes noires. Appropriating compassion...

Well its not just Bolton, there are other prominent hawks like Pompeo who have Iran in their sights, but its not really clear to me how far they will actually take it. I dont like some of the assumptions that are being made, eg in that last bbc article I linked to, about Trumps transactional...

All That Is Solid ...: The Allure of Change UK

My training is in cognitive therapy and Buddhist ideas are rooted in that tradition too, particularly in Paul Gilbert's work in compassion focused therapy, which I'm finding I'm more and more drawn to, professionally and personally. It's there from CBTs beginnings with Beck in the seventies...

I didn’t post it to start a discussion about social democracy per se. It was more to locate Corbyn/McDonnell’s economic plan on a political continuum. I also don’t like the concept of a squeezed middle. It’s more a case of a downward pressure on the key measures of economic ‘middle class’...

...assumptions about what the politics of a healthy society look like and illusions about what previous parties did, as well as a political compass type understanding of opinion. "It has also hollowed out the middle of politics" - what does this mean? That people are less likely to support those...

Some of my posts from the politics boards Chuka thread: Chuka unlike Kate Hoey does not stand up to Lambeth Council on behalf of constituents. He has never really opposed the Council "regeneration" scheme for Cressingham Gardens ( a well loved Council Estate). Hoey has a lot of personal...

The British state showing compassion would be fairly low down my list of priorities, or expectations, in the case. She might have been a minor when she went out there, and the school messed up in the cases of some of her cohort. (A few of the girls left after the school gave them letters...

Jeremy Hardy was a glorious friend and a mischievous comedian – a clown and a commentator all at once Jeremy Hardy was brought up, he always said, in the “lower middle class in Hampshire”. To explain what this meant, he said at school he was jealous of the working-class kids, because they would...

I'm Bernie Sanders. Nice to meet you.

It's the new political compass! How populist are you? if anyone wants to do the test btw.

Ruddy Yurts did an instrumental version which lost a lot of the anger TBH.

Such exquisite imagery.

The tune Chapman could only dream of creating - "Nicaragua" from Screeching Weasel's Boogadaboogadaboogada. As far as I know, the composer (Ben Weasel) hasn't developed a more nuanced position since then. I don't give a fuck about nicaragua I don't give a shit about the President I don't care...

Ok, I appreciate a more forthcoming response, I'm just struggling to see the depth of what you are seeing in all honesty. I'm not making excuses for the guy. I'm just trying to be honest. You mention anti semitics, holocaust deniers etc. Clearly associating with such people is a problem. No...

Then start asking yourself not about the content of those meetings, but about the fact of them. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone grasps the wrong end of the stick occasionally - young people often join social groups that sound great, but when they meet them in the pub the groups turn out to be...
