Does NS Have a left wing bias?

[Communal concils]

Pardon me if I find it highly futile to do such a thing in the presence of quite literally ANTIFA wannabees.

You said that you'd been compared to a klansman before without repurcussion. That implies either you reported it and it wasn't deemed trolling or whatever or you didn't feel it was worth reporting.

If it's the former, where is the link (quick search of moderation turns up zilch) and if it's the latter why bother bringing it up now?

Perhaps he forgotten where it was, or maybe he doean't want to be "Misrepresented".

I actually did forget lol I post in a lot of general threads.

An objective outsider would label NS as a far-right forum right away.

That's absolutely fine then! Problem solved. Simply go on to your main nation page, scroll down to forum posts at the bottom and run a keyword search for klansman. You'll be able to find it in no time.

The great thing is actually anyone can do this on your nation page, not just you. I'd have a look myself but I can't really be arsed.

So what were supposed to just believe what you say without any proof?

[The Sherpa Empire]

NSG maybe but the more outside you get the more right-wing the boards get.

Depends which boards. NS Sports is left-of-center on average.

I had a skim under "klansman", "KKK", and "klan", and couldn't find anything that looked like that.

Totally,Absolutely, and Extremely interesting.

Instead of relying on personal opinion on whether NSG has bias or not, we can use actual data. This was from 2018.

So, the poll was closed. 61 people answered, which isn't *that* good (could've expected some 100-150 there ) but not that bad either. Few people voted likely due to the email thing, will try to address that somehow in the next census.

The average profile of the NSG user: 21 year old, white male. Lives in North America, currently studying for its Bachelor degree in college. Politically and religiously, "Gen" identifies himself as a center-left liberal that isn't very fond of religion, being therefore interested in atheism. When it comes to relationships, he is single and straight but with a somewhat bisexual leaning.

Basically yea, those were the results. However, with the ability of accessing individual data provided by Google Forms I can plot correlation charts such as income vs economic leaning. Just tell me here and I'll gladly provide the data

It's a pretty low sample size, so not sure how representative the sample is of the population (especially considering the high percentage of North American and low percentage of heterosexuality). This "census" shows a left-wing bias, both socially and economically. But take it with a grain of salt, considering sampling issues. Bias also suggests NS is supposed to be representative of something.

[Communal concils]

Haha no.

Your right. All you have to do is look at the Right-Wing discussion thread, and you'll find many( large amounta) of Right-Wingers. It out numbered the left-wing discussion thread. I see right-wingers everywhere, so the Leftist don't have a monopoly on the website.

Nope, it's Perfectly Balanced^TM.

Sample size is very, very low. If we take the number of WA nations as a rough indicator of number of players (24787) then unless my maths is way off this survey included a whopping 0.2 per cent of players...

I actually 100% buy this sampling, sounds exactly right and explains a lot of why we have so many pro-antifa types.

The "census" isn't a very good source, obviously, but it's better than the rest of the thread, where everyone's just basing the perceived left or right wing bias off of their own personal views.

I tried searching on general for it, and the only posts that include his name and Klansman are on this thread. And most involving KKK are him himself mentioning those letters from what i have gathered.

[Risottia]

been here since 07(actually turned me into a marxist for awhile)

answer? It's left-wing but not extremley, I will however say that the Moderators absolutely shield leftists on this site.

They will defend leftists and then go " You can't use this situation in the reverse, that's actionable" utter bullshit.

That's because we commies bribe the Mods with superior-quality vodka and caviar.
Your puny capitalist gin and sushi can't compete with the glorious Soviet deli.

Oh it is an interesting idea alright, a shame there were so few participents really.

I'd possibly suggest there's a level of bias in the questions themselves regarding political leanings too - although that's impossible to really get rid of.
