Before you wonder why there’s a picture of a cat on this post as supposed to the usual socks picture, let this girl introduce you to Socks, the Clinton’s cat. So it counts, particularly in light of the “political” nature of this post.
The Staircase Master and this girl had gotten into a raging fight the other day via online chat over politics. The fight was bad; like they would be throwing stuff at each other, shouting at the top of their lungs, red in the face, had they been in the same room kind of bad. (Ok, this girl exaggerates, but only by a bit). He called her a raving leftist, she called him a overly zealous nationalist. He hurled insults about this girl’s view of civil liberties and she spat upon his support for what she considered semi-expansionist big bully behaviour.
It was a bad fight. It was a good fight.
Anyway, this girl came across the World’s Smallest Political Quiz and decided to take it. After all, reviews said it was relatively accurate and it only had 10 questions. So, according to this girl’s answers, the political description that fits her best is… STATIST.
Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior. They frequently doubt whether economic liberty and individual freedom are practical options in today’s world. Statists tend to distrust the free market, support high taxes and centralized planning of the economy, oppose diverse lifestyles, and question the importance of civil liberties. (read more here)
Woah.
Okay, so you guys go take the quiz and let this girl (via comment box maybe) know what kind of political creature you are ok? It’d be her little experiment.

I AM A… CENTRIST
CENTRISTS espouse a “middle ground” regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose “political extremes,” and emphasize what they describe as “practical” solutions to problems.
Hell yeah – practical solutions to problems. MAKE IT WORK, DUMBASSES!
