Fascinated me more than the others. Mainly because nobody speaks it anymore. And I was interested in history very much at the time.
Tho it turned out to be a very complex and difficult language.

I've been listening to this recently, can't get enough of it man "For we have received to sail for ol' England, but we hope in a short time to see you again. We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors, we'll rant and we'll roar upon the soft seas. Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England, from Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues."

When I was in school I had the choice of learning, French, Spanish, or Choctaw. I chose Choctaw, because it is the language of the tribal nation I live in, and also because its kinda a dying language, so at the time I thought maybe I could help keep it alive.
I ended up doing two years of the Choctaw class. The first year was basically wasted. The teacher was one of the best I ever had in any course, and she was fluent in the language as well, but the rules at the time said that she could only act as our supervisor, and our "real" teacher was some other lady who came in on the tv, and half-heartedly taught us. My second year things were much better, as they let the actual teacher do the teaching, but despite her efforts my skill in the Choctaw language is woefully inadequate.

Jesus Christ, that's bad. Why does this region even have the "conservative" tag?
Cause there are cons here. They're just not the majority.
Just cause it's the opposite of you doesn't make it bad :P

Meh
Jaslandia
What's yours? I forget
I feel that test is fairly inaccurate, as certain questions posses double meanings to me, a lot of questions are unfair and need to be split up into two questions.
I just took another political compass test, and according to that, I am also a centrist/socialist-authoritarian.
Personally I think that I lie in the libertarian center/libertarian slight-right
I'll take that. Better then "Begone, ebul commie!"

Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Friedensreich, Penguania And Antarctica
I would believe that. I have noticed that tests have a much more difficult time discerning centrists than those that solidly in one wing.
With that said, I consistently end in the left wing far libertarian (?) area, and I'm not a centrist by any means.

True Centrist!
Tserra
Yuck.
Nuremgard
You will see the truth one day
Personally, I think the test made me look slightly more left-wing than I actually am, but I'd say it was overall accurate for me (including it describing me as social liberal).
Yukona
You had the truth but then you turned to the dark side.
Yukona
Look, the reason I was a socialist wasn't because I though it would work, but because I wanted it to work. Socialism is soooo attractive when you come from a poor family. But then when I saw Bernie lose the primaries I started to question myself and I realized that Socialism is wrong. It doesn't work nor is it morally right.

I don't understand how my liberty is so low
https://gyazo.com/ad5f569e3c187d97c28196a57fff72cc
And I hope one day you'll go back to socialism. But I'm from a poor family. Conservatism doesn't sit well with me.
Look I am going to take the test again because I think it is inaccurate
Like the first question, oppressing is the only thing that fvcking corporations do, but same with government
This is a clear example of emotional appeal instead of reason. I come from a working class, Irish immigrant family who are in public service. My father doesn't have a degree and he's a janitor, my mother is a teacher for special education and both are Irish immigrants from Ballyfermot, one if the poorest parts of Ireland. So, don't say how you support socialism because "I'm from a poor family". A lot of people come from those backgrounds, that doesn't change what actually works in economics and government and it's wrong to not only use emotional appeal over reason (as it's a fallacy) but to use your own personal anecdotal evidence over statistical evidence.
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
Calm down, mate, alright? So you're right wing and come from a working class background. Good for you. I'm left-wing and come from a working class background.
Pardon me for having a different f*cking opinion.

No, you were using a classic strawman of conservatism is worse for the working class and that it only benefits a few. You're just wrong on that and it's just completely unreasonable to use personal anecdotes over statistics.
I love you
Interesting
Look, I'm left-wing because my values align with left-wing politics. Is that allowed? Or do I need to justify my every belief to you with stats?
The other time I took the test it got me even more Capitalist
That's not what you said. You said you're left wing because you're poor and conservatism isn't good for the working class. You're trying to use a victimization complex in order to justify your beliefs.
Clemodecralia
Much better guys https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=7.9&d=26.1&g=61.9&s=36.9
That's not really it. When I was a socialist it was because it seemed attractive, not because I was a victim or something
Actually I said conservatism doesn't sit well with me. -Me- personally. I never said it's bad for the working class. Many working class people are Conservatives. That's how they get in. Read before you reply.
I wasn't talking to you.
but this is a public RMB; therefore, he has the right to interject ergo, he was talking to you
Oelesa
You were cleaely saying that conservativism is somehow worse for the working class which is a common strawman and appeal to emotion.
Uh, interjection is different than assuming I'm referring to him.
Am I not allowed my own opinion on conservatism and class or must I agree with you on everything? It's pretty ironic for a religious person like you to be so obsessed with evidence.
I know but I am talking to you
Yay my friend got his festival ticket so now I can get mine we're going boys!
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
They are almost the same if you think about it. Or very similar at least
Cool where are you guys going?
Penguania And Antarctica
He stated his opinion as it was pertinent to your conversation that you were having on a public RMB. If you do not like people making "assumptions" and/or "interjections" then take your conversation into TGs. Don't get aggressively defensive when somebody makes a point that criticizes what you were trying to portray
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
You keep moving the goalpost. I said how it was wrong for you to use anecdotal evidence and emotional fallacies to justify socialism which is cleary what you were doing
Also, nice, attacking my faith again? So whenever someone is engaging you in a political debate you automatically just start spewing ad hominems on their religion?
Uh, yes? However, you acted as if I was referring to you when I wasn't.
So, lemme ask you something. You know I'm a socialist, so would you say I base my beliefs off of logic or emotion?
So politics is all pure factual is it? There's no emotion or passion behind it?
Who sh*t in your Lucky Charms this morning? We were getting along fine the other day, now you're back to wanting to argue about politics again.
It wasn't an opinion. I said to Nurem not to use his working class background to justify his beliefs and then Iceland started defending himself saying how he never did that
Post self-deleted by Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth.
And politics is all about passion, ambition, and using basic emotions. I dunno where he's getting this idea that emotion doesn't have place in politics, in all honesty.
Nuremgard
I was defending him by using my experience as an example
I'm not sure? I've never discussed politics with you.
Political views should be based on facts and statistics.
I didn't get aggressive. I just pointed out your fallacy.
That's how people form political opinions yes. That's not how you are right or wrong though
They are kind of the same because how my government is established, the President is elected via intra-party elections because the federal government is a one party state. The Upper Chamber of the Parliamentary Union is in charge of the Office of the Presidency. That was determined in my country in 1993, once the new government was established. There were two major parties and the National Conservative Front won the first Presidential Election and made the current PLR structure with them in charge of the PLR. So they are different in small ways, which could make large impacts once their opinions are implemented. Once they become President, they are checked at all for the duration of their term, which is seven years. So having absolute power and being able to implement those small changes can be in fact deadly or beneficial when you think about it but yes you have a point. They are generally similar because they all belong to the same party; however, they are able to have small differences that can change the course of the PLR depending on how they go about it.

This is why we can't have nice things about politics lmao.

And I'm not going to sit here all bloody night Googling sources to prove why socialism is better or worse for the poor. Apparently only the poor who vote Conservative are the smart ones. I'm sure there are no poor people who vote Conservative out of emotion or because of their background.
It's only us silly leftists who are all emotional.
Friedensreich
He has the ability to do that. As I said, if you do not like it when people interject to make a point in defense of someone else against you, then either dont use the RMB or take your conversation into TGs.
Your experience is completely irrelevant to what he said. I was literally quoting him on his experience. Not saying every socialist comes from a working class background.
Never said it doesn't have a place in politics. I said you shouldn't base views on emotion over reason.
I'm not interested in getting into yet another extensive political back and forth tonight.
Yes, he does have the right. I'm not discussing that? I literally just said that what he said was irrelevant and I wasn't referring to him.
You were saying that he was pretending to be a victim, and I was saying that it wasn't true. Geez, what the fvck is wrong with you today?
Nuremgard
Sorry for letting my experience shape my world view. I'll be sure to always base every single decision and thought in life on pure, cold logic and reason. And of course I'll defer to you, sage.
Thank you, I guess..
