Where are Tumblrs Politically?
I asked people to characterize their political views in two or three words. Here are the results, organized vaguely from political right to political left. I expected a stronger left-leaning bias.
- Insurrectionary anarchist - anthropophagous
- Anarcho-syndicalistic liberal - nicklas
- Left of Left- michaeltmartin
- Food-loving Anarchist - MarkyB
- agnostic, anarchist, humanist - vruz (vruz adds, “pro-freemarket provided all people get equal access to justice, healthy food, healthcare and education.”)
- Liberal ideologist- terryblakey
- Show trials- jhnbrssndn (I don’t know if John means giving show trials to former Bush allies or if this is a vote against secretive trials—but I think he’s for both of them.)
- Transnational Progressive Conservative - AZSpot (who is also an Anarcho-Christian Libertarian)
- Libertarian Socialist - Shorter Excerpts
- Skeptical progressive(s) - JGH, BryanMcKay, Citizen Jake
- Smart, Sensible, Longterm - hellonewworld
- Civil rights, compassion - whyinthehell
- Merit-based social-services largebody-regulation - Talby
- Pragmatic moderate liberal - XYZ Princess
- Social Democrat - Bite of Pythias
- Realistic Progressive - melanyouth
- Pragmatic liberal - Kyle Bingman
- Well-armed liberal - gilmoure
- Equal Opportunity Freedom - Scott H.
- Practical Hamiltonian Federalism - Apollo’s Raven
- Disinterested Ordoliberal - Gospel of Moll
- Don’t Be Evil - soupsoup (See what I did there? I put “Don’t be evil” way left of center.)
- Yellow Dog Democrat - ultrascorponic
- Moderate liberal - Dan Andrews
- Liberty over tyranny - continuum
- Reluctant Progressive - Squashed
- Pragmatic Moderate - luap
- Independent - Rabsteen
- Apathetic Sociopath - albertinho (Go for the moon, kid!)
- Politically Practical - needtherapy
- Just Behave Reasonably - heykurt
- Cynical De-Motivated Mondernist - davereed
- Conservatarian - Bellatoris
- Conservatarian (who only eats conservatives) - jmdj
- Follow the Constitution - megsiff - (I never know whether an appeal to follow the Constitition puts somebody on the left or on the right.)
- Let me choose - Sexypants
- Defense and Value Concerned Conservative - natface (who refuses to be put in my “three words only” box.)
- Libertarian(ish) - Yellow Bricks Fail
- World Domination, Fast - Monkey Typist (I interpret this as a militaristic authoritarianism—because I take everything Monkey Typist writes at face value).
- Nosy libertarian - unreliablewitness
- Small-L Libertarian - geoffpado
- Libertarian capitalist - billda
- Libertarian (Trending anarcho-capitalist) - Crazy Nut Job (Jeff Miller is probably also in this category. He didn’t self-categorize, because I think he just had a kid. Congratulations!)
- Anarcho-capitalist - ptbruiser
- Anarcho-Libertarian - morningstar
Of course, there are some people who, no matter how hard I fudge it, are hard to fit into others.
- Good People Err - Mills
- Do unto others… - Mark
- Don’t be Dickish - hungryghoast (which may be a political imperative or may be a response to my request to embody a political philosophy in three words)
- Freedom to live - Seagull
If you would like to be added to the list (or if you want to be recategorized), let me know, perhaps by answering the question in this post.
