Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

Humbug.

The lot of you, Left Wing Libertarians? I assume the coordinates correspond with your RL political views, as opposed to what you actually think, let alone, practice, here in the his sacred sanctuary, the Temple of Kraden.

After all, braving the harsh inequities of the RL world must make you feel weary and justified in your setting up of and participation in internet systems of oppression. For in braving the system, you have lost something dear: the ability to imagine life outside it. You know nothing else other than to desecrate, to perpetrate harm onto others - and where better to begin where than here in this hallowed space?

A tragic tale were you not all such vile, abominable, establishment fiend to begin with.

For those of you who are lower left leaning, how did you answer to business and big business questions? e.g. how did you answer (or would have answered) the bottled water question?

The only one I remember was like "It's a sign of the times that water is bottled and sold as a consumer product" or something...?

It's a bit of a vague question, but I think it speaks to the degree to which everything is monetized in our current culture, instead of considering the human issue. That our tap water is sometimes either unsafe (look at Flint) or just doesn't taste that good. And massive corporations tap massive amounts of resources from one area and sell it abroad. Nestle got some bad PR lately for taking millions of litres of water for free, basically.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/nestl%C3%A9-b-c-water-deal-too-cheap-says-ndp-1.2964709
And this during a drought period. So the idea that the people's resource can be taken for free by corporations and then sold for a massive profit doesn't make sense.

It's not like buying a lot of land and selling the wood, either, since groundwater and springs can be connected to aquifiers that extend onto other people's land, and onto Crown land.

It was something like, "It's ridiculous that you can bottle and sell water." Which I don't necessarily disagree with, because if someone wants to sell bottled water, why not? That's just capitalism.

That libertarian is a social axis, so I assume it's more 'social libertarian," as in "state shouldn't police personal behaviours." Perhaps?

Also I realized I never commented on it, but I'm surprised I'm not at least a little more to the left.

This is mine, but I don't pay nearly as much attention to politics as I ought to (´・ω・)つ So I'm not sure how accurate that is. I'd have guessed I was more to the left.
That link doesn't work anymore, but this does.

And these are my current results:

apparently I am now to the right of Adnarel, and I find this interesting

I consider myself a Social Capitalist.

Which is why I'm not more to the left I guess. We need more socialism in the US if possible, but I do see benefits to capitalism.
