Well, if you look at it through the political prism as he has defined it, it actually makes sense. The problem is that it ignores differential preferences for government.

I think rather than a graph that looks like this:

+

Alarti's looks more like this

Hillery Clinton == Ron Paul

I found this thread thoroughly entertaining. Forumquest at its finest considering the mass amounts of thunderbird consumed so early in the morning.
Never said Hillary Clinton was equal to Ron Paul dummy. I said her policies were closer to Ron Paul's then the other republicans who ran this year. Try to keep up pup.

Nope my Graph looks like this +

Ron Paul is in the bottom right quadrant... all the repubs that ran and hillary are in the top right quadrant. Hillary is just further "south" then the other repubs.

I do have a tendency to disagree with far right fascists, correct.

Curious what positions you feel make Hillary farther south? And which positions make the others farther north?

Authoritarian Norms:

Promotes fear of outsiders, differences etc.
Willing to remove or reduce civil liberties to protect against "conjured threats"
Hostility to criticism or transparency.




Let's just use Trump.. since the others are out of the race.

For the authoritarian norms... can anyone reasonably say any of those don't apply very strongly to Trump?

All we have to go on are Trumps words and business actions.. since he's never held a political office.

Trump tries to use eminent domain in the past to seize a home so he could build a limousine parking lot.

He wants to build a giant wall along the US/Mexican border to keep foreigners out.

Somehow he will force Mexico to pay for it.

He indulges in conspiracy theories and uses that fear and xenophobia to control his followers (Global warming is a chinese hoax etc)

Wants to shutdown all muslims from entering the US.

Wants to put a 45% tariff on all goods manufactured in China. This would raise prices in the US but about the same percentage and amounts to Trump telling American's who they can or can't buy legal goods from.

Endorses Water-boarding and "much worse" forms of torture

Doesn't seem to support the freedom of speech or the press and has mentioned he'd change laws so he could sue when the press publishes negative articles about him.

Says we need to rebuild the military to make is stronger (somehow he thinks the military will prevent terrorist organizations? lol)

Will "bomb the hell out of ISIS" (as if he can just target them at the next terrorist convention)

Favors Flat tax (which is coded language for oligarchy, note russia's tax system)

Wants targeted surveillance on certain groups.

He's open to Nuclear war.


Supports the Patriot Act and strengthening it.

Wants to cut education. (Long standing research shows you are more likely to support authoritarianism with less education)

Has Small Hands!




Hillary

Supported the Iraq War

Supported the Patriot Act

Hostile to criticism or transparency

Doesn't promote fear of "the other"
