You are disciplined but tolerant; a true American.

Quite funny.


For the most part, I agree with Preston and Starman.

[2] A person who has bad manners, habits, and breeding can hardly expect to get along with decent people.

I'm sorry, can we analyze this dumbass question for a second? First of all, what one person considers to be bad manners and habits are different than another person's consideration of the same thing. Similarly, one person may consider "decent people" to be something completely different than another. So this question has a bias in itself. The only thing I can do, and I imagine the only thing ANYONE can do, is to answer 'disagree strongly,' because we would presumably imagine that anyone who has "bad" manners will not get along with "decent" people, if the evaluation of bad and decent are coming from the same individual.

Fking stupid quiz, sorry.

This is why I rarely end up taking them. I always wished I would have the SAT guy next to me so I could berate him for all of his badly worded and unclear questions.

I wasn't very fond of the questions

[Cartertonian]

Seems clear to me that these questions have been lifted - or rather cherry-picked - from elsewhere to populate this nonesense.

Oh...2.36. In a liberal airhead too, apperently.

I like this better than the political compass.

[Decky]

Same here; in fact even Hitler had this pragmatic attitude. He once defended a gay follower (Roehm?)

A bit of a nit pick, he had him killed, have you heard of the night of the long knives?

He didn't kill him because he was gay; he killed him because he was leading an organization that directly competed for power in the Nazi Party.

Haha I got 5.033 You may want to practice doing things with your left hand. I think this test portrayed fascism, as hating science too much sometimes, with the astrology stuff. I'll have you know Italy was a very advance country at the time!

Whats even funnier is that I'm left handed. :P Though I am fascist.

[Murph]

I don't understand the astrology question. Is that like hitler and the occult or something?

[Walter_Nowotny]

I'm not sure, but thats pretty much against the Religiousness of Italy!

What's with all the astrology and occult nonsense?

[starman2003]

It played a role in the reich--Hitler had horoscopes and Himmler sponsored a mystic. Together with "the religiousness of Italy" (which Mussolini didn't really like) it shows how flawed past fascism was. The basic idea may be good but..time to move on!

I think you'll find that I am an armchair revolutionary.

The religious aspects of Fascist Italy were more or less for show for the benefit of the millions of devout Italians, the fascists were originally highly anti-religious. The Nazis were a weird bunch in many respects, they borrowed enough ideological material from Italy to be considered fascist, but the mysticism largely came from the Thule Society.

A very strange and bizarre interpretation of Fascism in regards to the questions asked.

I remember on the old AFM board somebody quoted some fascist praise of Italian catholicism, in order to counter my view that fascism/wholism/caesarism is essentially the polar opposite of christianity. It was remarkable how some of those guys were so lacking in sophistication they not only disliked the idea of manipulative propaganda, they couldn't even see an example for what it was.

[Preston Cole]

The AFM was, and is, filled with libertarians and conservatives, but there are some more educated and orthodox fascists over there. Some of them are so obsessed with distancing themselves from Nazism to the point where they cease to be fascists.

One guy even called an American neo-fascist journal (Reaktion!, which is dark-themed and militant) "communist" and told the editor "you scare me." Some American fascists are very different from the rest of us.

That quote still makes me laugh, as Kacen says a lot of them are basically libertarians with a fascist coating.

[Iron Fascist]

The AFM was an excellent joke but we already have the Tea Party so it quickly became redundant.
