It calls you a chud for saying alternative girls are sexy. But thinking alternative girls are sexy is not a reactionary position when you've taken great lengths to become an alternative girl, like I have. I AM sexy.

[-] Lowleekun@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago

Finding someone attractive and sexualization of a person also aren't the same only because they might correlate.

refuse-the-question

The choices in this political survey are the choices that someone who is politically illiterate would give and sees everything through the lens of twitter dunks.

Davos, a 5-letter city beginning with "D" that's associated with the ultra-rich

Dubai, a 5-letter city beginning with "D" that's associated with the ultra-rich

I don't understand this axis

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 11 hours ago

Davos is where the WEF confrence is. One of the rules these uber rich have is to disclose how they are going to fuck us over "You'll own nothing and be happy".

Dubai is the investment wing of that? Maybe it's a global vs insular thing. WEF triggers a lot of the nationalists. Maybe that's what they are going for.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 14 points 10 hours ago

The hilarious thing about chuds hating WEF is that it's literally billionaire chud central. They only hate it because of some silly internet conspiracy theories and their so-called "hatred" of what they call "globalism"

Realistically, they're all treatlers that love globalism, it's how they feed their gormless little hog faces with treats.

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 9 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Neither do the two guys behind the survey, another (sorta) 5-letter name that starts with "D" - what a couple of...

But, seriously, they explain it in a box above the survey: it's claimed the former represents democracy, and the latter nationalism. That's been shot down pretty thoroughly in earlier comments above.

[-] fox@hexbear.net 8 points 12 hours ago

Davos is for those who practice capitalism worldwide and Dubai is for those who practice capitalism in one country

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 5 points 9 hours ago

oh cool, I got "one true leftist"

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago

lies, i got "one true leftist" and there can be only one popuko-gun

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 17 points 12 hours ago

When the left-most public figure in your country is a streamer, your country has a dogshit political system and its doomed.

Also I'm actually more hope-pilled than doom-pilled, it's because the questions were written by a liberal I appear so.

[-] majster@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh no :( Chuddy, Hopey, Davos going Rishi Sunak

Stupid political tests are the best because they only really tell you something about the person who wrote them

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 22 points 14 hours ago

What even is this thing lmao

[-] vapor_body@lemmy.ml 9 points 13 hours ago

I like the bent of it, this concept is almost approaching an actually useful quiz, but then it's just trash, which I love even more. I'm guessing porn is woke in this quiz. My confidence is not shaken by this chudscore!

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 10 points 12 hours ago
[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 5 points 12 hours ago

I hope it was consensual.

[-] The_Grinch@hexbear.net 14 points 13 hours ago

A lot of the questions are hard for the same reason most political compass questions are hard. It'll say something like "is x good for society?" Which society? The one where it's owned and operated entirely at the behest of Peter Thiel? Absolutely not.

If 90% of jobs got automated tomorrow the working class would be kind of fucked. I would have said "The capitalist system would collapse immediately if that happened" a few years ago, but lately I've realized that these things are a lot sticker than they "should be". I don't think that take is at odds with LTOV because people seem to just sort of carry on doing their usual thing even if it doesn't make sense anymore. I think millions would have to starve first

[-] vapor_body@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 hours ago

Yeah I think I tanked my score by going neutral on the ones with dumb phrasing. Oh well. Maybe I can get some extra credit later in the quarter

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Well shit, ironically I think this is because I said I was very hopeful for my country...the unspoken is that i'm hopeful because hopefully it won't exist in the future lol

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 5 points 13 hours ago

Lol, they're just randomly assigning you a "match". I had almost the same thing and got Hassan

[-] Athena5898@hexbear.net 2 points 11 hours ago

That makes sense.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago

What the fuck is the Davos-Dubai axis?

[-] majster@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Davos is western internationalist, Dubai is individualist free for all capitalism

[-] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago

are you a rich imperialist or a rich comprador?

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 2 points 9 hours ago

Has to do with the number of rockets and drones that land in your baxkyard

[-] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 9 points 14 hours ago

From the page:

Davos vs Dubai: Democracy and nationalism.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 12 points 14 hours ago

Davos, famous bastion of democracy?

[-] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 24 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

UAE is probably the worst example of nationalism they could have picked. Fake country with no roots or legitimacy or "nation" led by traitors and sell-out compradors. Should have picked Kiev or something for their platonic ideal of reactionary nationalism

[-] vapor_body@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago

It's literally heartbreaking to see someone attempt to integrate this

into a quiz and situate it as diametrically opposed to Davos. No it isn't. That's not true.

The most charitable possible interpretation would be first world liberal internationalism versus semiperipheral (am I using this term correctly?) compradors trying to gain security in a system that needs them on edge. That's definitely not what they mean. I only know one guy who talks like that and I barely get what he is saying.

[-] vapor_body@lemmy.ml 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Would it be a stretch to say that people like Erdogan are in the international version of the petit bourgeoisie? Constantly trying to find a mystical third path between capitalism and socialism, or in this case between imperialism and true internationalism, which is not-so-secretly just fascism and getting merced by the next biggest fascists.

The UAE even has pretensions of supporting the third world if you talk to the right stans, who are all completely delusional and barely know what words mean. They want to wriggle out of the deal they locked themselves into. That's more like a health condition within the same entity that a polar opposite entity.

Dubai & Davos would already be delineated by the chudwoke axis within a framework that acknowledges this tug-of-war. They don't need their own for the memes.

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Some of the questions are phrased in an at least morbidly funny way.

Israel is committing a genocide

Strongly Agree

Agree

Don't Know

Disagree

They are and it's a good thing

And in this example I think it does well enough to capture the political spectrum, though perhaps Agree could be replaced with "war crimes" to represent the "moderate" opinion.

But obviously a lot of these are framed in a less-than-constructive way, e.g. equating democracy with Davos for some fucking reason, but seemingly also equating it with human rights in general, which isn't really how that works.

[-] ea6927d8@lemmy.ml 8 points 12 hours ago

Some people must die in order for my political ideals to be implemented.

  • Millions
  • Agree
  • No opinion
  • Disagree
  • Strongly Disagree
[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 7 points 13 hours ago

Took this a bit ago, still got my results thankfully. Was not wanting to do it again lol

My person was Greta Thunberg iirc which is probably one of the better options

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 11 points 14 hours ago

perfect wokeness score, does it always just give hasan?

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

If you're interested, it appears to be based on Meyers-Briggs, where the way you fall on each binary is its own axis to sort you into one of 16 categories (2^4), so for example it appears that Hasan is "woke luddite doomer davos" while Greta is "woke techbro doomer davos". There is no distinction between 52% woke and 100% woke, it's just to place you on the woke side of the woke/chud binary. Sheinbaum is likewise 1 removed from Hasan, "woke techbro doomer dubai".

A lot of internet quizzes use this system or something like it.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 2 points 10 hours ago

lmao it's based on astrology for MBAs?

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 2 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, the testing mechanism is, which isn't terrible for something that is meant to be super simple and not serious.

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 3 points 13 hours ago

Woke == Hasan I guess

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 13 hours ago

Oh shit oh fuck im a woke moralist peterson-red

[-] yunqihao@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago

Whoever made this quiz deserves to be re-educated

[-] ComradeTolva@hexbear.net 1 points 11 hours ago

was also Claudia but I was more "Hopepilled" and "Davos" by a considerable amount so I don't know what the metric is

[-] yunqihao@hexbear.net 1 points 11 hours ago

Crakkker vibes if I had to guess.
