ATS Poll: What is your political ideology or affiliation?

I'm surprise the Green Party is so high. They seem nice, but they advocate too much government involvement, and u know what happens.

Is it just me, or do all of these sudden ATS Polls reek a little of profiling?

Not really.

It 'reeks' of "Look a new toy!"

Not everything is a plot.

If you say so, buddy, but it seems to me a fair observation.

Besides, you can't hold paranoia against a member of a conspiracy forum

We need an option for the undecided.

It is proof of a certain specific demographic that must be here in significant numbers.

The only one which seems morally justifiable is Green.

Not surprised about the popularity of libertarian views at this site.

I imagine things will change once large-scale changes in the climate forces a deeper existential self awareness in the minds of people who think "fear government" and "self interest" are the be-all and end-all of human political thinking.

Equalize The Wealth. C'mon, ya'll!

Glad to see libertarian with a strong conservative leaning at the top. The results of this poll have been very wishy washy.

Communist equalise the wealth lol

Brilliant

I chose Anarachist, but to clarify that, I align with Anarcho-syndicalism (save the Monty Python references ;-) ) closer than a pure idea of anarchy. The Road Warrior is a fun movie to watch, but I don't think that would be a fun world to exist in.

Looks like if you take conservatives & all libertarians and put them together, that makes up about 47%, liberals/socialists etc. makes up 38%. And the rest are the "My views are a combination of all political dogma" category, 13.47%

favorite movie youtu.be... about Jewish adventurer: now act act and act. the old woman will not fail - a reliable woman? Yes ! Your political credo? always! Russia will not forget you p.s. whatever was not your political credo it is not yours you are under the influence of the information received from them from childhood lullaby to strategic reports the Pentagon and if you are able to write a lullaby or a strategic report you have a drop of their blood

You are confusing social conservatives who are often big government with TEA Party conservatives who basically started out as fiscal conservative libertarians. I don't know about other TEA Party folks, but my husband and I haven't changed from that. Now, you will find that a lot of people who are fiscal conservatives do hold many social conservative views, and yes, we do. However, we neither one want them enforced by law. If we are going to get a socially conservative world, we would rather have it by power of persuasion, not by power of legal force. This is where we differ with big government soc-cons who see nothing with using government force.

The one issue where we differ is when it comes to abortion and that because we feel we are talking about two human beings, and the unborn human being also has an unalienable right to life, like his or her mother.

SOUNDS GREAT.

Looking forward to it.

Fun stuff if folks don't get their ego-knickers in a twist.

Trying again with this. Been getting "...timed out" even though just clicked post. Will try copying and immediate posting.

Using latest IE at the moment.

This thread would be better titled: "What side of ignorance are you associating yourself with?"

Pol-itics are just another Pol-arity, both of which entrap ignorant minds.

I think it could be argued that the anarchists could logically be lumped in with the liberal sorts . . . resulting in that cluster being about 47.24%.

No, no, no. You can not lump the anarchists in with the liberals. That is a total contradiction. "Liberal types" are for more government and anarchists are for none. If anything, we'd be more closely aligned with libertarians. I would be curious to see which types of anarchists are on this board, though, as there is a wide range of beliefs amongst us. I'd be more of the anti-capitalist variety.

ATS asking what my political affiliation is? Asking us all, in a POLL?

Seems like a basic, not creative poll question. Why wasn't this already asked, in the Message-Sent Polls? Or is it a boring, ho-hum "demographic/profiling" sort of question? WHO'S asking? Whomever approved this ATS poll-question, or another group by proxy?

Seriously, 'To Which POLITICAL AFFILIATION DO YOU SUSCRIBE?'

Well, I answered there's 'Only A Few, or Some" Shills, in that recent poll...
But let's not make their jobs any easier!
Either it's
That, as the reason for such a weird, seemingly innocuous poll question,
or Great, we'll be seeing both Right-leaning/Very Far Right Leaning Ad targeting, as well as ads aiming for the Reasonably Moderate But For A Few Ideosyncratic Views.

ATS honchos, this poll is about selling ads— ain't it.

YES!
It is not just you catching a whiff of ulterior breeziness

I just did. And, in a significant measure, so did you in the post I'm replying to.

1. In many to most things regarding beliefs, motivations and behaviors . . . the ends of the horseshoe are closer to each other--functionally, dynamically and potentially--than they are to the middle. And, opposites often 'flip' to become the other end of the horseshoe.

2. The oligarchy certainly has cast the anarchist's 'mean average beliefs and goals' in with the liberals in these respects:

(A) They are using the anarchists to help shred and all the faster the "OLD ORDER" . . . resulting in the NWO being enabled to rise on top of said ashes and CHAOS [Read ANARCHY] ALL THE SOONER.

(B) They are using the anarchists to demonstrate and act out great hostility to the oligarchy's own ruthless usurption of all the wealth and power. See (A) above. The oligarchy is confident that when the dust settles from the Anarchists' assisted delivery of UTTER CHAOS & ANARCHY, that the oligarchy will STILL be in power and well able to squash whatever remains of the anarchists . . . that the oligarchy will remain in power

(C) . . . at the top of the heap of a bastardized form of communism and bastardized monopolistic pseudo capitalism. This goal is well represented in some of their quotes in their own words at this first link:

That is a total contradiction.

Yes and no.

Primarily it functions as a logical kind of contradiction . . . particularly for Western minds addicted to strictly linear thinking.

However, the FOR MORE GOVERNMENT vs HOSTILE TO ALL GOVERNMENT assessment that some seem unable to . . . logically consider fully in the context of the ruthless Oligarchy--that 'construct' [in the rather George Kelly sense of a bi-polar construct that we all use 26 or less of to channel our choices and our lives--in all cultures] . . . that construct is a very functional unit for the oligarchy.

It is a continuum that the Oligarchy plays like a piano to its ruthless ends just as it plays the extreme left to extreme right bi-polar construct--playing all ends against the middle.

On the one end, the Oligarchy clusters the brazenly overt liberals screaming for maximum government. And it manipulates that group extremely effectively pushing the envelope, moving the goal posts to absurd tyrannical levels just as they have planned for several hundred years for this era.

On the other end, those fleeing the maximum government meme are clustered together as anarchists--serving the Oligarchy in destroying THE OLD ORDER OF MORE LIMITED GOVERNMENT . . . ultimately delivering into the laps of the ruthless Oligarchy controllers, a world much easier to raise ON TOP OF THE ASHES OF ANARCHY the utterly total and ruthless maximized dictatorial government of the one world government married to the one world religion . . . in which NO COG, NO SLAVE, NO SERF IN THEIR VAST MACHINE can even think independently, much less act independently, much less act unobserved, unlabeled, unpunsihed . . . undestroyed as anything resembling an independent anarchist organism.

"Liberal types" are for more government and anarchists are for none.

See above.

If anything, we'd be more closely aligned with libertarians.

I think the libertarian movement is a fascinating one. I'd be mostly a conservative libertarian, in my own construct system.

However, I have NO DELUSIONS NOR ILLUSIONS that the libertarians are anything but YET ANOTHER cluster of the pretend electorate--which--the Oligarchy has carefully constructed and managed from its inception. THEY TOO collect a major chunk of the populace into an identifiable cluster of individuals with a scripted set of goals, values and emotional attachments . . . all ripe and vulnerable for the very skillful manipulation by the Oligarchy toward globalist ends.

There are extremely few individuals OUTSIDE such constructed, controlled, manipulated, scripted clusters/groups. It has been the Oligarchy's business to INSURE that all serfs and slaves were accounted for in their assigned or "self-selected" [as though that were still possible] cluster or group.

Anarchists along with hyper socialists/Communicsts/liberals are both being used to build the piles of fodder for the bonfire of ANARCHY with which to REDUCE TO ASHES the old order--thereby, Phoenix-like, birthing the NEW W.O. . . . as new as satan worshiping Babylong of millenia past.

These facts are discernable in the Oligarchy's rather brazen own quotes in their own words at the links above.

I would be curious to see which types of anarchists are on this board, though, as there is a wide range of beliefs amongst us. I'd be more of the anti-capitalist variety.

BINGO! . . . filling the SAME ROLE of shredding, demonstrating hostility to . . . capitalism . . . precisely as the COMMUNISTS, LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS script from the Oligarchy calls for--and has delivered--for a very long time.

It won't matter. The Oligarchy has them all clustered sufficiently together to be able to easily herd them into useful roles and functions as the ruthless shove down the chute to hell progresses across the Nation and the planet.

Oddly enough, the only respondents clicking that option are from Greece.
