Interesting. My own “political compass” was assessed as being very similar; on the same graphic, slightly lower and slightly to the left of tweeter Sophie Meaden.

As to the chalked message, it is said that the old Soviet Spetsnaz had an unofficial saying: “when the real revolution comes, we shall not kill those with big houses and cars, and we shall not kill those who talk about social justice, but we shall kill those with big houses and cars who talk about social justice.” Were they wrong, looking at the UK, USA etc today?
