What made me really laugh is that I went onto the website Political Compass to review the question they ask you…
Every single question requires you to provide a solid definitive answer, which is absolutely bonkers to me, because the world doesn’t sit still and is forever in flux. The world will forever stand still if we don’t get out of the constraints and prison ideology provides. Out of the box thinking is required.

Probably should’ve worded it better, when I say the world will forever sit still, I mainly mean that the problems won’t change. People need to realise that belief/definitive answers are complicated.
If you believe in something, you’re automatically precluded to believe in its polar opposite, this is why people are soo narrow minded.
The word "Belief" is a signal that the speaker is consciously conceding that an alternative philosophy could result in a different conclusion.
Therefore the word shouldn't be used when referring to anything possible to learn or verify. "Belief" is for discussing original ideas, or subjects that can only be guessed at.
it takes a lot of humility for a person to acknowledge that to believe in something which could be verified, is to admit to choosing an argument before fully understanding the subject.
I "Think?"
