This is so true. I retook the quiz you mentioned about a 12 months ago (the first time I took it was about six or seven years ago) after years of being berated as a "far-right wing extremist, conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer" for expressing grave concerns about our governments' covid response. The results were more or less the same, and I remained well into the left/libertarian quadrant. These meaningless insults are all noise designed to bully us into submission or at the very least, silence; I pay them no attention anymore. I am fundamentally the same person I always was, regardless of how loud, obnoxious people (no offence to your friend, I have some just like them) like to label me.

My interest in the political affiliations of others in the community is non-existent. All that matters is whether they are going to try to jab me again and how far they would go to try.

Ahahahaha 👏 I reckon I'm about where the point of that bottom aroow lies 🤔 except maybe I'm about a metre off the actual grid and 4 lightdays East. 🤷

The closer to the centre of this snakes and ladders grid, the less likely you are to insult all of the people at least some of the time, read, appeasing crawler. Dinner parties are so much more fun with types from all boxes towards the edges. A tolerant wife is essential. Ouch!
