Why make this?

Generally I find it pretty difficult to have deeper conversations with people of opposite political opinions, so I'll leave this here so anyone like me can make an informed desicion on whether to interact.

General

my political compass, showing -7.25 economic and -6.72 social

I'll admit that this is further left than I originally thought before taking the test but honestly it makes sense. The social scale does not surprise me at all.

More specifically:
- Economic: F*ck the rich (>£50m net worth). The govt should run the country in the economic interest of the majority.
- Religion: Doesn't affect whether I can be friends with someone, but that doesn't stop me from hating religion (I don't see the point in it, and I went to a CofE primary school which if anything made me hate religion more).
- Homophobia, transphobia, etc.: Why is this even a problem? Just let people be who they want to be and stop policing people's gender and sexuality. (sidenote: I swear there's a positive correlation between being a great person and being LGBTQ+ in some way. Also I'm straight cis and hate it cuz I do NOT have the social skills for it).
- Racism, sexism: Again why is this a problem, can't we just agree to judge people purely on contributions to society or something and not thing they can't change about themselves (sidenote: go watch this.)
- Pro-choice, duh.
- Ableism: As an autistic, UTTERLY STUPID AND PLEASE JUST F*CKING EDUCATE YOURSELVES ON HOW TO DEAL WITH AN AUTISTIC PERSON ITS NOT THAT HARD I DONT CONFORM TO YOUR SOCIAL NORMS AND SINCE I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOUR SOCIAL NORMS IT ONLY FAIR IF YOU LEARN WHY I FIND IT HARD TO AND JUST BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT AAAAA (I will keep going for at least 10 mins if I don't end it there).
- Favourite political party: Liberal Democrats. (sidenote: it would be the green party but they have a few backwards policies like shutting all nuclear plants down and I don't think they're super well equipped to run the country.)
- Least favourite political parties: Republican (US), Reform (UK), AfD (Germany).
