I chose Socialist simply because I prefer what they seem to have in Scandinavia, than what the US Democratic Party or the UK Labour Party seems to have on offer.
I generally prefer what they have in Scandinavia compared to British Labour and US Democrats as well. Though I chose conservative so I’m not sure how this maps.
Perhaps “traditional values” (whatever that means) combined with basically a neutral attitude to wealth redistribution and an eye for expected quality of life? Or perhaps growing up in a country where everyone I know considers themselves some kind of “social democrat”, I have an odd idea of what “conservative” stands for.
Actually I’d be quite interested to get more data on the 29 other conservatives here, I wonder if we’re just “secular right” types (like I partially consider myself to be since I’m an atheist) or if some of the crypto and pseudo theists are conservative as well. Also I wonder how many where influenced by Moldbug or any of the other representatives of the internet (new? alternative?) intellectual right. To give one data point on the latter, I never even considered there might be interesting material from right wing thought, until I was exposed to it on-line and began seeing merit in it.
Edit: I counted 7 committed or lukewarm theists among conservative LWers.

It should be right there in the spreadsheet, under ReligiousViews.

I must have missed it, where was it linked to?
At the bottom.
Thanks!
