I know! Is that urge to jump referring to depression/suicide? or risky behavior? Yeah, I figured suicide; I would have answered differently for risky behavior. I can see what Cass is saying about disease/infection, as well, and I agree totally. In the question, my disagreement (strong, of course) was to "different kinds" of people.

Yup. Really, it came down to how you interpreted the question. Interpreted Christine's way, I strongly disagree. Interpreted from the subway perspective, it's another matter.
A woman brought her obviously-suffering-from-dire-chickenpox toddler on the other day -- it was definitely chicken pox because she and the kid's aunt were discussing it. Poor mite looked feverish, too. Now, I've had chicken pox. But a lot of people on that car might have been vulnerable. And the car was packed -- nowhere to move. WTF. Based on the conversation, they were not headed to a doctor's, either.

Okay, that would be a stupid "kind of person."

Your F Score is: 2.70 You are a liberal airhead.
That said, that's one of the silliest tests I've ever taken. The questions are loaded with assumptions.

I took this test again after viewing R.T.'s memes and scored a 52.

Yeah, I notice the test is still smoking.

All in service of eliminating the pox.

But...those are my favorites.
Could someone import a little trembly-lipped, teary-eyed emoticon for me so I can use it for posts like this?

Okay, that's a fairly even-handed bit (which is easy for me to say, since it's pretty much doing what I suggest: seeing fascism in an historical context, first and foremost).
I suppose the relationship between fascism and capitalism described in the piece is going to annoy some people, since a good chunk of the people screaming "fascist!" are quite certain that fascism and capitalism are intricately linked (mostly because of their misunderstanding of Mussolini and "corporatism").
The critical point is, I think, that just because Trump isn't a fascist, that doesn't mean he can't be bad news. People have a hard time with such situations, I think, where they assume that the label is some sort of necessity.
