I think it's time we talk about the one major part of the fandom were diversity is lacking. Diversity of thought...

No. I'm saying that if the fandom is going to claim to be for diversity, you can't begin just excluding people because they disagree with you. Being an advocate for free speech doesn't make me a Nazi or that I want Nazi's in the fandom. It just makes me a classical liberal.
I define myself as a "civic nationalist" and whenever I take this test, I always get moderate libertarian and moderate right (almost in the exact same spot as you). So much for nationalism being an authoritarian philosophy! CIVIC nationalism is based on the daring notion that all nations should be FREE!

The Czech and Slovak partisans who took part in Operation Anthropoid were nationalists fighting against fascism. I wonder if that would melt the mindbrain (or "bake the noodle" to borrow a phrase from The Oracle) of any internationalist type person who assumes that nationalism is inherently fashy. };3 And if nationalism IS imperialist, then what does that make INTER-nationalism?! Or globalism for that matter? Aren't those just slightly more modern-sounding terms for "imperialism?"
Those tests almost always put me in the moderate libertarian zone and VERY slightly right. I believe the individual should be free from both the state AND the market, so I'm not sure how accurate those tests really are. Also, I'll debate anyone who believes global government is good and/or inevitable.
