Não há coisa mais aborrecida do que os egos gigantes de alguns meus colegas de mestrado. A turma encontra-se dividida em jovens muito jovens (na sua maioria raparigas), por um lado, e alguns jornalistas e profissionais bem antigos e conceituados da praça, por outro. Entre estes últimos, é visível a forma como se procuram evidenciar perante o público feminino e tenro, digladiando-se uns aos outros, despejando a sua quantidade inacreditável de conhecimento acumulado sem ninguém lhes ter perguntado nada sobre o assunto.
São tão patéticos estes homens de meia-idade.

Vamos lá rapazes
Adenda: 22 campeonatos nacionais, 13 taças de Portugal, 15 supertaças.
2 vezes campeão da Europa, 2 vezes campeão do mundo, 1 Taça UEFA, 1 Supertaça Europeia.
O FCP nem parece um produto de Portugal.

E, para acabar, o toque final...
... eu e as religiões. Voltando ao Moral Politics, descubro que com quem eu tenho mais a ver é com protestantes e judeus.
Faz sentido.

The Advocates
Segundo o The Advocates, sou uma libertária.
Isto reforça o que eu disse no post anterior.
A minha filosofia de vida é : não me chateiem!
LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and
economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one
that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.
Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose
government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate
diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
Politopia
Teste da Politopia.
Habito terras do Noroeste.
NW - You would feel most at home in the Northwest region. You advocate a large degree of economic and personal freedom. Your neighbors include folks like Ayn Rand, Jesse Ventura, Milton Friedman, and Drew Carey, and may refer to themselves as "classical liberals," "libertarians," "market liberals," "old whigs," "objectivists," "propertarians," "agorists," or "anarcho-capitalist."
A minha interpretação disto tudo: gosto muito pouco que metam o nariz na minha vida.
Political Brew
Novo teste.
Your score is on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 being fully liberal and 100 being fully conservative:
On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (35).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Conservative (78).
Finalmente dão-me como liberal em questões "não-fiscais". Eu já estava a ficar algo inquieta.

USA Weekend 1994
Vêm aí mais coisas giras! Este teste baseia-se na distinção clássica americana entre "liberal" e "conservative" (o conceito "liberal" na Europa está conotado com posições de direita). A escala "liberal -> conservative" vai de 0 a 40.
Eu tive 25, o que me põe do lado Republicano uma vez mais.
Agora a sério. Eu há uns anos não teria gostado nada desta brincadeira.
Aqui não há gráficos, mas há presidentes e figuras americanas.
O meu pelos vistos é o George Bush (pai)!
JesseJackson - 0 - 100% LIBERAL
TedKennedy - 5
HillaryClinton - 10
BillClinton - 15
ColinPowell - 20
GeorgeBush - 25
JackKemp - 30
BobDole - 35
RonaldReagan - 40 - 100% CONSERVATIVE

Moral Politics
A paragem obrigatória seguinte era o Moral Politics. Teste que se debruça mais sobre questões de costumes e fortemente identificado com a concepção política americana.
Apesar da minhas visões imorais acerca do casamento entre homossexuais e legalização do aborto, o Moral Politics classifica-me de conservadora e provável votante do Partido Republicano:
Your scored 1 on the Moral Order axis and -2 on the Moral Rules axis.
Mas há coisas que desiludem. O meu Presidente é o... Gerald Ford???! Provavelmente o mais irrelevante de todos os Presidentes da história americana!
The following items best match your score:
· System: Conservatism
· Variation: Moderate Conservatism
· Ideologies: Capital Republicanism
· US Parties: Republican Party, Democratic Party
· Presidents: Gerald Ford (93.75%) 2004 Election Candidates: John Kerry (82.32%), George W. Bush (77.90%), Ralph Nader (66.34%)

E há mais. Estou praticamente só no mundo.
Apenas 0, 7 % dos que fizeram o teste tiveram o mesmo resultado que eu!
Statistics
Of the 312006 people who took the test:
· 0.7% had the same score as you.
· 55.4% were above you on the chart.
· 30.1% were below you on the chart.
· 23% were to your right on the chart. 71.1% were to your left on the chart.

As coisas que uma pessoa descobre em quizzes cibernéticos.
Political Compass
Logo a seguir fui a outro teste muito popular na Internet: o Political Compass.Os resultados são consentâneos com o teste anterior. Ei-los.
Pensava eu que estaria mais para baixo no eixo "authoritarian - libertarian", mas afinal estou próxima da linha divisória.
Agora vem a parte querida.
Quem é a minha alma gémea ao nível dos grandes compositores clássicos?
Tchaikovsky, meus caros. Estou entre Tchaikovsky e Chopin. A nível de gostos, antes o primeiro que o segundo.
Wagner certamente já estava à espera deste resultado.

Ida ao consultório político
Parece que agora anda tudo doido a fazer o teste político da European Political Ideologies. Sempre tive em muito baixa conta os quizzes do género, sobretudo os de questões tais como "serei honesta?", "terei qualidades de liderança?", "seremos compatíveis no amor?", mesmo nos meus tempos de baixa puberdade em que lia a revista Ragazza.
Mas os testes de orientação política são divertidos, sobretudo quando apresentam gráficos e nos permitem a comparação com celebridades, figuras históricas e religiões. Infelizmente esse não é o caso da European Political Ideologies, mas este é um começo interessante. A partir daqui, fui à cata de todos os questionários de ideologia que encontrei na net, para comparar os resultados. Ele há coisas hilariantes.
Quando fazemos o teste da European Political Ideologies, há 12 resultados possíveis já predefinidos e é-nos pedida uma previsão. Eu disse sem grande convicção que o meu resultado seria "social liberal".
Os resultados do meu teste são um poucochito dúbios no topo, mas genericamente fiéis na composição geral. Eis o meu ranking:
# 1 - You are an anarcho-capitalist. Anarcho-capitalists take the Jeffersonian belief that "that government is best which governs least", and extend it - "that government is best which governs not at all". The theory of anarcho-capitalism is that the market can replace the state as a regulator of individual behaviour (resulting in private courts, private policing etc.).
# 2 - You are a market liberal. You adhere to the traditional liberal belief in freedom, and take this to mean negative rather than positive freedom - i.e. a slimmed-down state is the best guarantor of freedom. You will therefore support a laissez-faire economic policy, and you will be reasonably tolerant on the social front - though less emphatically so than social liberals.
# 3 - You are a libertarian conservative. You hold that the free market is the best way of organising economic activity, but you combine this with adherence to more traditional social values of authority and duty.
# 4 - You are a social liberal. Like all liberals, you believe in individual freedom as a central objective - but you believe that lack of economic opportunity, education, healthcare etc. can be just as damaging to liberty as can an oppressive state. As a result, social liberals are generally the most outspoken defenders of human rights and civil liberties, and combine this with support for a mixed economy, with an enabling state providing public services to ensure that people's social rights as well as their civil liberties are upheld.
# 5 - You are a Christian democrat - or, in the UK, a "One Nation conservative"; in other words, although you share the usual conservative belief in stability and duty, you believe that such duties include a responsibility on the part of the better-off to help those who are less fortunate. You will be socially conservative, but in favour of a mixed economy where the state does have a role in providing public services. Christian democracy arose after World War II, succeeding more doctrinaire Catholic parties dating from the 1870s.
# 6 - You adhere to the Third Way. The Third Way is a fairly nebulous concept, but it rests on the idea of combining economic efficiency - i.e. a market economy with some intervention - with social responsibility. The focus is emphatically on the community as a whole, and not necessarily equality per se. Adherents of the Third Way range from moderate to conservative in their social views, and have recently been willing to take a "tough" line on a range of social issues.
# 7 - You are a social democrat. Like other socialists, you believe in a more economically equal society - but you have jettisoned any belief in the idea of the planned economy. You believe in a mixed economy, where the state provides certain key services and where the productivity of the market is harnessed for the good of society as a whole. Many social democrats are hard to distinguish from social liberals, and they share a tolerant social outlook.
# 8 - You are an ecologist or green. You believe that the single greatest challenge of our time is the threat to our natural environment, and you feel that radical action must be taken to protect it - whether in the enlightened self-interest of humanity (in the tradition of 'shallow ecologism') or, more radically, from the perspective of the ecosystem as a whole, without treating humans as the central species (deep ecologism).
# 9 - You are an anarcho-communist, aiming for a society without the state, based on small, decentralised groups living communally.
# 10 - You are a fascist. You combine a strong belief in the nation with authoritarian social values, and a willingness to impose your views upon others. You strongly oppose immigration, and are willing to take radical action to combat it.
# 11 - You are a classical socialist, believing in equality of outcome as a principle. This might mean greater equality (e.g. Old Labour), or as close to absolute equality as possible. However, you will believe in an extensive public sector, covering not just public services (transport, healthcare etc.) but probably also the 'commanding heights' of industry (e.g. iron and steel). Your views on personal morality will be reasonably tolerant, in general, but there is considerable variation within this political group.
# 12 - You are a communist. You believe, at least in theory, in absolute equality of income - and you oppose the whole capitalist system per se. You want to abolish the market economy and replace it with one in which the workers (usually meaning the state) control the building blocks of the economy. Your views on personal morality will vary; traditional communists tended to be more authoritarian, while modern "eurocommunists" tend to take a liberal line.
Macacos me mordam.
"Anarco-capitalista"? Não, pá!
A minha previsão de "social liberal" só aparece em quarto. Coisa curiosa é que antes de ser comunista (o último da lista), eu seria fascista. E blairista a meio da tabela.
