Reminder: This post is from the Community Actual Discussion. We try to use voting for elevating constructive, or lowering unproductive, posts and comments here. When disagreeing, replies detailing your views are highly encouraged as no-discussion downvotes don't help anyone learn anything valuable. For other rules, please see this pinned thread. Thanks!

We're back! We're testing the waters with the new influx of people to see if this is valuable or not. We are also actively seeking moderators and people who enjoy discussion (and understand that being wrong is an important part of being a better person)! Send me a message if you'd like to help out.

This weekly thread will focus on Political Purity Testing. The definition we will use for this discussion is here along with some real-world examples.

The attitude can essentially be summed up with "If you're not 100% with us, then you're against us."

Some Starters (and don’t feel you have to speak on all or any of them if you don’t care to):

• Do you feel it is helpful or harmful to a side of an issue to purity test?
• Do you feel these tests are encountered more as you enter extreme areas of thought?
• Are there alternatives to purity testing that you'd rather see implemented?
• Do you feel this happens more on the left or right wing, or is it roughly equal?
• Here's a goofy quiz about which Canadian Political Party you most agree with. Take it and let us know the results if you feel like it!
