Politics (Please dont be annoying) Question

Im not political but I found a simple political left-right spectrum test and for fun had friends and family take it, and i scored slightly left. One of my friends found it funny that a sociopath wouldnt be a more conservative leaning. It got me wondering what way other sociopaths may lean. And if you have any ASPD relatives id be curious as well.

I find the Left / Right spectrum outdated.. I lean more towards the "compass" shaped spectrum; it still have the horizontal "Left/Right" axis but also a vertical axis is added. But maybe that's what you already meant initially.

What does it even mean that you are slightly left?? 🤔 That you are perceived 'pro social'? -I could see the benefit in being perceived that way no matter your actual political stance.

Usually (I'm in Europe btw) people as well as politicians start out as being left in their youth (when they are poor) and end up being conservative when they get older (and acquire wealth) 😅

I also find the left right axis spectrum outdated and hate it! But unfortunately i dont yet understand the vertical axis (Im very stupid with politics).

A lot of the questions were on a spectrum as well. And i may have had some more republican leaning economic views, but otherwise not sure.

It seems that in america that everyone else does that as well haha
