Mapping the Ideology of RPF Members

[r3volution 3.0]

Please choose one term in each pair:

anarchism or minarchism

cultural left or cultural right

democratic government or non-democratic government

universalism or particularism

atheism or theism

deontology or consequentialism

[specsaregood]

if you know the definition of all those terms you've put way too much thought into this crap.

[heavenlyboy34]

Define "universalism". It's used by some philosophers as well as the Unitarian Universalist Church, and in very different ways.

[Origanalist]

This could be a very long thread...

[r3volution 3.0]

I'll go first:

minarchism
cultural right
non-democratic government
particularism
atheism
consequentialism

Define "universalism". It's used by some philosophers as well as the Unitarian Universalist Church, and in very different ways.

I mean with respect to forms of social organization.

If you believe that there is one form of social organization which is best in all times/places, for all cultures, peoples, etc - you're a universalist.

If not, you're a particularist.

[William Tell]

This could be a very long thread...

More likely not though.

[r3volution 3.0]

This could be a very long thread...

For my part anyway, I don't plan to do any arguing.

I'm just curious about how the general population of the forum lines up on these issues.

[P3ter_Griffin]

what is cultural left and cultural right?

[Carlybee]

No

[r3volution 3.0]

what is cultural left and cultural right?

It's a bit hard to define...

I would say that the left's basic value is equality/fairness, while the right's basic value is virtue.

Modern social values are of the left, traditional social values of the right.

Quick test: rank how much political correctness and the modern idea of "tolerance" bother you on a scale of 0 to 10.

If it's less than 10, you're on the left.

N.B. This has to do with your own personal tastes and preferences, it doesn't necessary have anything to do with public policy.

[r3volution 3.0]

No

Yes

[Uriah]

Panentheism.

[P3ter_Griffin]

No

I'm rather hopeful he finds some statistics that says we should all be arrested.

[Suzanimal]

That's about right. I picked one and voted before I read the directions.

co~combined with a John Locke idiologue HIGH WHIG set of sensibilities... even so!
i'm going to play the game... as in why can't i be both pairs at once an' play the very
wise percentages, issue of the day by issue of the day? yes, a longish thread looms!

No John Stuart Mill or Henry David Thoreau?

[thoughtomator]

I had no preference between theism and atheism

[Cap]

Thread is silly.

Which culture is "left" and which is "right"?

and there is no "Anti-Authoritarian" option on the list.

[r3volution 3.0]

Which culture is "left" and which is "right"?

See above,

and there is no "Anti-Authoritarian" option on the list.

That's right.

FYI, you should check "left."

[ThePaleoLibertarian]

I'm surprised that six people on this site support democratic government. Liberty and democracy are largely incompatible.

Anarchism
Cultural right
Non-democratic government
Particularism
Atheism
Consequentialism

The options are black and white. Not really great options largely. There are many shades of grey. The form of government in the US is neither fully democratic or non-democratic.

[lib3rtarian]

minarchism
cultural left
non-democratic government
particularism
atheism
deontology

[Southron]

I'll play. Based on my understanding of your terms:

minarchism

cultural right

non-democratic government

particularism

theism

deontology

[Vanguard101]

Hmm. I'll bite.

Anarchism
Probably in the Middle.
Universalism
Theism
Deontology

[VIDEODROME]

It's a trap
