NSG, extraordinarily liberal?

[Prussia-Steinbach]

The fact that Ayn is remembered this way makes me sad.

How'd you like her to be remembered?

As that place where grass won't grow in the cemetery, preferably.

Him?

Her, nice to know you can nit pick. Point still stands.

She's dead.

And selfishness is a massive constant throughout all her literature. Especially since she blatantly advocated literal selfishness on a regular basis.

That only happens for people who have been murdered, and their crimes remain unsolved.

As Tales from the Darkside has taught me.

Him?

Maybe they thought we were talking about Rand Paul?

"Close enough"
"Close enougher"
"Close but no cigar"

It's a population chart. Higher = more of them on NSG

I can see the confusion.

I have more, if you want.

Depends on how you define selfishness. Rand was both a rational and ethical egoist, and believed that 'selfishness' on the individual level lead to the highest good for all.

It is true. 95% of the players on NS are highly liberal. And 90% of that 95% are incompetent.

Both of those stats are incredibly off kilter.

I fail to see otherwise. I have only met five other conservatives in my three years on NS. It seems that most of the people here are either hardcore liberal, communist, socialist, or anarchist. They seem to like the extremes...

Five? I could name dozens off the top of my head.

Hmmm, do I fall under "People who should not be allowed to vote", or "'Murica"? Who knows?

Then that is your issue. I have met numerous people that lean more to the right, especially economically, far more than your arbitrary 5%. Not to mention that your deeming that the majority are incompetent is complete nonsense itself.

Murica should not be allowed to vote.

I don't know. Try this chart instead.

Ah, yes. "Christian Anarchism" sounds pretty good. I'll have to find out more about that.
EDIT: Never mind, Christian Anarchists tend to support Pacifism and Vegetarianism apparently. I believe in Just War and greatly enjoy eating cows. Christian Libertarianism actually defines my views pretty well.

huh... I'm in between close enough, and reasonable libertarian. Though how do they define reasonable?

[Old Tyrannia]

I would suppose that NSG is definitely left wing to some extent, with a good percentage of the posters being socially liberal, and somewhat economically left-wing (although most aren't bleeding heart socialists, and still support private enterprise nonetheless, and not as left-wing as they are socially). Yet, we do have those who do not conform to this majority, but those who do not conform range from Marxist-Leninists, to Neo-Reactionaries, to Monarchists.

Oddly enough, I don't think I've ever actually seen a neoreactionary on NationStates. There's us regular reactionaries, but the Dark Enlightenment goons appear to be keeping away.

That's not entirely inaccurate as a population chart, actually. Although I'm not sure where I'd fall.

Five as in conservatives? Or five as in right winged, ranging all the way to fascism which is way to common to see.

I don't think it's meant to link the various political philosophies by how similar they are, but the kind of thinking that produces them. I could be wrong though, and I have no idea how a person would determine this. I think it has just as much to do with how you're raised, your experiences and education as how you think.

According to what the creator likes.

Socially or economically? Economically there are dozens upon dozens, socially is a bit less common but still pretty prevalent.
