Colin's Last Stand, Episode 51: Are You Right Wing or Left Wing? Libertarian or Authoritarian?

No worries, the audio version suited me just fine. :)

Lou & Rei Loper

Here's hoping.

Colin Moriarty

It's all fucked up. I'm trying to fix it, but dunno what's wrong.

Colin Moriarty

Yeah, it's definitely American-centric. Perhaps for the next video of this type, I'll look for something a little looser and more philosophical.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you! I doubt I'll be more popular, but I did have fun.

Colin Moriarty

Libertarian Capitalist (Economic 33, Cultural -50) pretty much in line with how I feel. Now if we can only have a great third party candidate.

Kevin Almanzar

Hmmm....what happened to the long form version of this video? I didn't watch it last week, and now the only thing that seems to show up on Youtube (or clicking the direct link to Patreon) is a 17 minute long video.....I'm hurting over here, I neeeeeeeed the rest!!! Save me Obi Wan :(

Lou & Rei Loper

Some of the questions in the video such as on health insurance made it seem to be American focused set of questions. As a UK resident, I never did it. Was interested to see your answers to the questions though. On the one you did early on CLS run, I came out centre left libertarian, which was what I expected.

Peter Campbell

Holy shit colin! It's so awesome that ur gonna be on jre again! Happy for u! Really made my day 😁 Ur gonna get really popular after this

Avi

Colin Moriarty

You'd like to see a longer video than two hours? I don't know if that's going to happen. =) That said, I'm sure I'll jump into economics again in the future.

Colin Moriarty

This was very interesting. I'd love to see a longer video exploring some of your opinions on economic issues. It felt like your positions were a little unrefined or even contradictory at times on these, though perhaps that is because you didn't have time to dive deeper on each issue / principal.

Chris Holtzer

86 economic -38 cultural Libertarian capitalist yeah!!

Brogan Wassell

Exploring the nuance is interesting, but again, it's just one test of many, and it's in beta.

Colin Moriarty

Glad you liked it! I think it's flawed, but fun.

Colin Moriarty

Check out the pinned comment.

Colin Moriarty

My biggest problem was the redundancy in some of the questions.

Colin Moriarty

I wasn't, really, but I didn't produce any videos for a bit, which was nice.

Colin Moriarty

Love it.

Colin Moriarty

I got Liberal (Economic: 19, Cultural: - 53). I think I'd probably put myself a little further right economically, but the nature of the questions led to answering in absolutes (ex. Complete free trade wouldn't work, but in practice I favor it to regulation). One thing I did want to expand on is the consistency of elections through WWII as an example of maintaining civil rights. WWII also revealed the opposite side of the coin through internment camps.

Josh Squires

I spekd as a libertarian capitalist, economic 47, cultural -56. I think it was fairly good test.

That was interesting. Apparently I was spekd as Liberal (which has unfortunate negative connotations on it now). Economic 13, Cultural -47. I didn't see Colin's final score on there.

Ray Briggs

hmmm... not a bad quiz on Sprk... but the wording is very biased at times, and most of the questions are open enough that it is hard to give a definite answer. Most of mine were in the center 3. Came out Econmic 3, Cultural -31

David Ouillette

Epic! Hope you were able to actually take some time off :)

Aaron

Mmm, finding my identity. Like it.
