June 21, 2004No fears, gentle subjects!
For those of you who are looking forward to my eventual world domination with some trepidation, fear not. No longer will you have to wait for my public coronation as Generalissimo Seitz to know my politics. Thanks to the folks at the Political Compass and their diagnostic test, you can see how my policies will compare to those of other notable world leaders.

CommentsWell... took the test, and although my graph showed up with grid lines and no comparisons, I think I landed close to you. My scores are Economic Left/Right, -6.50, Social Libertarian/Authoritarion, -5.23. I think I'm a bit more of an Economic Liberal, and about the same on the Libertarian/Authoritarian scale. In other words, I'm a goddamn no-good Commie Pinko who doesn't trust government or big business, and who thinks that consenting adults should be able to do whatever the hell they want to do in private.
Oddly enough, this means that The Dalai Lama is more economically conservative, but a bigger sex and drug fiend...
Hm. Isn't it funny that Economic Liberalism can mix with Social Authoritarianism, but there are no examples at all of Social Libertarians who are Economic Conservatives, viz that empty lower right portion of the graph. Now, what does that tell you? I think the title of an Ohio Players album is appropriate here: Free your ass, and your mind will follow...

My numbers were almost identical to yours, Jon--and I didn't get the results with the leader blips, either. I had to swipe the image and add myself in the appropriate spot.
For as much as I complain about it, MS Paint seems to be enough for all my art needs. And that's sad.

MS Paint? No, no, no. Bite thy tongue, man. MS Paint is crap. You have to get ahold of Photoshop. It's the only way to go, for all your graphic needs. Trust me...

All hail Lord Patrick! Lol, sorry couldn't resist, but if you do ever run for President you've definitely got my vote. I'm in the same quadrant, only a couple points up and a little to the right.
Economic Left/Right: -4.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.87
