I might try the quiz again to see if I get different results.

Could someone help me understand the above, please? I read the explanation that came with the results but could use a better explanation as I don't know much about politics. Also, according to the above, what UK political party would best suit me? Thanks. :smile:

The primary concern is current + future social division

I assume you're referring to certain Islamic schools that segregate genders on religious grounds, indoctrinate students with fundamentalist religious attitudes and teach non-standard curriculums, in which case I'd agree that that is not acceptable.

As above, as a pragmatic pluralist whilst I generally support diversity and inclusion I only favour egalitarianism with conditions (relating to pragmatism, and pluralism)

Yes, in terms of domestic policy, the general, overall aim would be the greatest possible benefit for the greatest number of number of citizens. If egalitarianism is at odds with that, then of course it becomes an issue. Generally speaking, though, providing equal opportunity and reward for endeavour/intellect/creativity etc. to all of a country's citizens seems a good goal to me.

I didn't, I deliberately framed it as an essentially existential exercise. You can duck the challenge to ethical/intellectual honesty, like a coward, or you can answer


If I had to make a list like yours (out of respect, since you seem to find this rather important), it'd be something along the lines of:

Family > Friends > Acquaintances > British > Other

With the disclaimer that there would be caveats and extenuating circumstances in certain extreme situations.

Also, particularly as a child of immigrants myself, prioritising someone's life based on whether their ancestors are indigenous to this country would stick in my craw.

I think it's worth mentioning that I find the idea that 'dodging' your exercise is cowardly to be rather amusing, lol! It costs me nothing to answer your hypothetical if I so desire.

the choice is yours, but in putting the quandary to you, I have usefully, concisely modelled the nature, and reason, for my 'tribal' loyalties

Right, you've listed your tribal loyalties in order of specificity, which offered me some insight into your way of thinking wrt said loyalties-thankyou. I answered your hypothetical (after you made a rather rude implication, I might add! lol), so now I'd like you to explain how your self-stated, as yet unqualified, utterly unwavering tribal loyalty would manifest itself in real life and answer the hypothetical in my previous post.

Primarily yes, but more generally divisive/retrograde institutions (including those of other faiths) should be reformed/closed

My political philosophy is a little more nuanced than that i.e. Fourth Way pragmatic pluralism seeks to include a plurality of political views in discourse (excepting those that pose an existential threat to the very diversity of said system e.g. fascism/Islamism) and arrive at a consensus position on policy (which can indeed be sold on the basis of Benthamite calculus)

Agreed. It’s when people get purist/militant about it that I have a problem, or when they ignore associated social ills or else fail to see why/how related policy could/should be reformed/reversed

I understand, but you must understand that ‘third culture kids’ like yourself are the exception, not the norm no matter how hard the Crony Capitalist powers that be attempt to dilute/disparage/denigrate/destroy the sense of place, heritage, ethno-cultural affinity, and related geographical, communitarian belonging/loyalties integral to the tribal/political identities of billions

I did say like a coward, there could be other explanations (but it looks to the observer like ducking a question, which is of course typically an act of cowardice)

Careful with the assumptions, my stated hierarchy is not set in stone, I remain something of a meritocratic/responsive to social/security and related philosophical dynamics

For example, I see no sense in mass (particularly inter-civilisation) immigration when it fundamentally degrades the values (dignified progressivism), culture (Jesu-Christian in origin), customs (freedom of expression/presentation/fun/inclusivity), way of life (living life without fear/stifling political correctness), quality of life (net fiscal drain: £15,000,000,000 p.a.), and security (ISIS et al. domestic terror and insurgency through to lower level criminality and anti-social behaviour) of my:

Immediate family > wider family > friends > neighbours > indigenous inhabitants of the same: settlement > county > region > nation > continent > civilisation

Didn’t think it was a serious question :dontknow:
