Yeah the poll basically reconfirmed what I had already noticed. A lot of progressives/liberals. Makes it very easy to start a discussion, by just prodding almost anybody here with a dissenting conservative/centrist/libertarian viewpoint, at least.

I can't imagine why the majority here is so progressive though, the only common denominator is Dwarf Fortress.

[FearfulJesuit]

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the people who play DF are young, and young people are more likely to be lefties.

[Heliman]

there is a very easy burn to make about the intelligence of right wingies here but I'll abstain.

[Araph]

DF isn't necessarily the only thing forum-goers have in common; if you play DF, which only attracts a small portion of the population, you're bound to have similar thought processes and interests as the other players. Think about how specifically DF fits into it's niche in the world of gaming; it's not exactly like Minecraft or TF2, which anybody can start playing and have fun with.

Although LCS is fairly ridiculous and offensive to both ends of the spectrum. The whole idea is a parody of the 1970's radical leftist groups, after all.

For one, it's a pretty international userbase and in almost any country outside of the US, the midpoint is going to be to the left of the US midpoint.

I think the options and examples are a little too extreme. i was forced to sound like a misogynist, whereas i'm really a centre-right (canadian conservatives). I don't hate women. I just am not a liberal or socialist.

[Dutchling]

There really should be a 'right wing, but the Republicans are retarded'.

The opinions are, I assume intended to be extreme, almost a parody of the people in those groups beliefs (eg. most anarchists wouldn't actually like to live in somolia, and most left-wingers aren't fanatical communists).

Libertarianism, basically.

[NinjaBoot]

More like 'The Party of your Parents'. 

"Take responsibility for your actions!" 

[Newbunkle]

Dabbled with libertarianism for a while, but slid to the left as I got older. Socialist is probably closest, but I don't tick all the boxes and I'm indifferent to some of the issues. I don't really like labelling myself anyway as discussions tend to turn into Team A vs Team B instead of talking about the issues themselves. The only thing I can say with any certainty is that I'm anti-capitalist.

[Svarte Troner]

I'm a culturally atavistic anarcho-primitivist.

This. But I guess you could say I'm very "anti-modern society".
