    These questions are terrible and incredibly vague. I got bored and just did the neutral option for all of them.

    I think it is very telling that being “neutral” on a quiz like this gets you a fascist. All of this shit just exists as a means of normalising fascist ideas.

      Meloni had some message dissing Trump recently, it was hilarious to see the Clinton/Obama libs on Bluesky say literally “omg I love her 😍”. Both right and “left” normies are incoherent and detached from reality.

      When Americans (or a lot of westerners) say “materialism” what they mean is “consumerism”, and they’re trying to frame the fact that no one can afford anything anymore as some kind of personal choice, that someone chooses to be a “post-materialist” which just means too poor to afford all the plastic bullshit they used to buy.

        This is what you get when Amerikkkans try to do political “analysis” despite their entire political “education” being reading the cliffnotes of a children’s book written by a british imperial cop

      The website itself calls it “globalism versus nationalism”. Based off the questions it’s about whether you want to spread freedom-and-democracy or set up an alternative world order like the evil authoritarians some-controversy, which I guess includes the UAE

        i absolutely love when there’s a wacky dichotomy of two choices where both are absurd ideas thought up by people possessed by angry ghosts.

        are you a rare steak carnivore or do you want to eat bugs? are you a based nofap grindset traditionalist or are you a spotify onlyfans funkopop collector? are you a truck-driving country music fan or a plane-hopping swiftie? is your dream house a mcmansion in a car-centric suburb or a sleazy penthouse condo? choose wisely.

    I’m 19% chud?!?! thats-why-im-confused

    …It’s cause I did neutral on the alternative girls (I’m GAY idc about alt girls) and did neutral on crackheads on busses (I felt like, reading the question, it was asking me if I advocate for more crackheads on busses, which no…I advocate for the crackheads to be left alone when they’re riding the bus - not for crackhead-only buses!!!)

    Very funny that I still got Zohran though

      I recognise the URL as the name of a British Youtuber that makes politics videos and they had this smell of edgy centrist arrogance: claiming to be above it all and having an “objective” outlook, while eating from the trashcan of ideology zizek-preference

      I remember him proposing a new city in northern England to house “refugees” from Hong Kong and it would have all the same laws as Hong Kong because mercantilism good, ignore the coffin homes

    there is a lot of confusing questions, most of them could be interpreted multiple ways that would flip the axis they are measuring. anyway here’s my result i don’t know how to feel about it:

    i hate it (at least I’m cool and woke)

    also,

    “lab grown meat” is unnecessary, there are already much better options like soy meat, there’s no point in making living meat tissue. but the negative options are “i like meat” “bill gates microchip vaccines lab meat waah” so fuck this quiz

      I agree lab grown meat for eating is silly. Lab grown fur/leather on the other I think would be awesome. Having all the advantages of fur/leather in a garment without harming an animal harmed amazing. Also way more economical because you’d wear an item for years instead of just shitting out a burger.

        there is polymer leather which works fine enough, and if you’re a futurist and like wacky technology i remember reading about fungal leather as well as leather made from kombucha scoby, both sound weird and cool. using actual skin for clothing is weird but uncool

              i find it nothing else than natural, but i don’t want to argue about this. i think that leather is used because it’s both strong and nice to touch. if there was another synthetic that could match leather’s durability, feel, and aging, i would use it over leather. that’s why i think that lab grown meat could be a good idea
