I guess if I strongly agree with half the things and strongly disagree with the other half
That makes me a centrist

I lost my optimism a while ago, but never my idealism.
Even cynics can dream.

In other news, finally someone to sing socialist songs with.

As I thought, communists and degenerates everywhere.

I know that feel, Malkevin.

I took the test again this time with my glasses on

This test seems a bit biased. A nationalism leaning is 'patriotic', but a world/international leaning is 'peaceful' ? As if it implies that the nationalism focused people don't want peace

nationalism is war

The UN started as a thing to stop the super powers from nuking each other, once the sides in that gained enough nukes to make nooking the world completely unpalatable to both sides, the UNs point of existence became moot so they instead changed focus in stopping africans warlords eating each other and failing miserably at preventing India drowning in its own feces.
Look at what the UN does today: a bunch of busy bodies that bark decrees at countries and order them how to run their own countries. A nationalist is not concerned with matters beyond his nation so long as they do not affect that nation, a nationalist wants his country governed only by his country - not some cack handed foreign mouths that want resources diverted to them.

One world governments are chiefly desired by the delusional that think removing all borders will suddenly rendor millenia of cultural differences and resource disparity moot, blissfully unaware that the ones that actually have the wealth and power to bring about a New World Order are selfish cunts that want to fill their coffers even more.

Justifying wars isn't a case of ease, it's a case of why would we care what johnny foreigner thinks in the first place. The British Empire wasn't built by listening to the lamentations of the frogs, krauts, dutch, and spaniards

The EU's mandate is to gobble up nations and prop up failing states to the detriment of the successful ones.
Free trade might be good for the market, but its not fully good for the nation - take fishing for instance, if we catch too many of a fish the EU makes us throw them back (even if they are dead already), the UK's fishing stocks are heavily depleted because the EU disallows us from telling other nations to fuck off from fishing in our areas (have a look into the Cod War)
Freedom of movement is against nationalism, we want control of our borders.
We could've told the EU to sod off if we didn't have the leaving process lead by the Lead Lady who is a remoaner and really don't care about leaving fully, and is wholly incompetent and only has the job because Camoron was too eager to retire off to the pig farm.

Political threads tend to do that

It's funny watching 8values pop up around the place though, I know the dudes who made it. It spread pretty dang far pretty much just on word of mouth there for a bit.

Oh I'm pretty boring

Lots of communism in this thread though

centrism is actually fairly interesting, if only because of the question "centre relative to what"

and yeah, half this thread is /pol/ and the other half is /leftypol/

Isn't leftypol basically totalitarian socialism?

leftypol is kinda pol + lefties if you replace jews with porkies and sjws with the salt-right
it ranges from hard tankies to socdems, but of course the former get more attention

The left cant meme

Just the current state of the world I guess

All the station commodities are free and so are all access ID's when the фашист syndicate scum attack the station.

Paradise station is especially a corporate meritocracy with its features & its gameplay in essence.

The test leans more libertarian in bias just because most people who worked on the test are full on demsocs iirc

welcome to the european definition of liberal: muh free markets

it is the textbook definition of neoliberal

Mutual self-interest. No species or nation ever got to be successful by being self-sacrificing, and current culture throws me through a loop on that.
I legitimately do not understand the concept of people valuing the lives of strangers over their own, no matter how it's explained to me, it just doesn't make sense.

That's the privilege of those who grew up not knowing hardships. They think money grows on trees and resources are abundant, and feel moral gratification in sharing with those less fortunate. Look at those rich kids virtue signaling hard as fuck. They don't know how hard it really is to make a good coin and they've been taught "sharing is caring" and all that other garbage.

Hardships don't really teach some grand lesson. 90% of the time they just give you a great deal of psychological baggage and stall some years of your life while you try to get back on your feet. I'd argue that the real virtue signalling comes from the folks who use tough times they've gone through as a vehicle to look down on other people.

Just talk to people who've been working for their fortune and those who've got it easily, you'll notice quite a difference.

There are a lot of people who worked their way from absolute poverty to ridiculously rich who still donate billions in charity, point doesn't stand.

If anything, it seems to be the opposite, those who didn't earn their money through hard work are less likely to share and donate because they simply can't understand the concept of being poor.

A lot of rich people donate, it's a tax write off

Tax write off, publicity, virtue signalling, there are a lot of good reasons to donate. Maybe it's more an issue of smart rich people vs dumb ones, and it just so happens that the smart ones who realise the benefits of donating are also those who made their own fortune from scratch. You know, 'cause they're smart.
