Does The Political Compass Test Mean Anything?

When someone starts getting into politics one of the most important questions, in fact, one of the only questions is where do they stand on the important issues. So many of them, instead of actually forming opinions, choose to go to the political compass test in order to get a basic idea. This test has also been one many YouTubers take in order to have their audience understand who they are. But one question has still not been answered, is it worth anything? 
So, in order to properly answer this question, we need to look at some more questions. Specifically, the questions on the official political compass test (link here) in order to find out if any of them are, well, good questions. In order to test this, I took a handful of questions from this quiz and decided to see if they have any major issues. So let's figure this out, together.

If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

This is the first question of the test and it shows one of the biggest problems with the test. It refuses to take into account that people regularly lie. Or, to use less loaded terms, most people don't like to think of themselves as the bad guys. No one is more hated than "the establishment", whatever that means.
Let me give you a real-world example. Many people believe that we should deregulate because it will cause jobs to come back here. Is that in favor of the corporations? They wouldn't. Afterall they're creating jobs.
Also, in the United States corporations are people. 

I’d always support my country, whether it was right or wrong.

No one thinks like this, even the people who we think are like this, aren't like this. Reagan for instance, human super-patriot, only got anywhere by criticizing Carter. George W. Bush did the same thing with Bill Clinton. They didn't always support their country. 

Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other racists

This question is directly asking you rather or not you're a racist. Even David Duke, the former KKK leader, doesn't think he's racist.

 The enemy of my enemy is my friend

This is a meaningless platitude. The test also gives you no context so this could mean anything. 
On a side note: When this country used this platitude we armed Osama Bin Laden.

Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment. 

Most people aren't economists. Plus most economic philosophies don't care for either inflation or unemployment. 

Land shouldn't be a commodity to be bought and sold

This question is directly asking you "are you a communist". Again, no one says they're something that most people believe being against is a "no-duh". Especially a philosophy most people believe killed 100 million people. 

Those with the ability to pay should have access to higher standards of medical care

I think this question is trying to ask "do you believe in universal healthcare", but there's one huge problem, that's not what this is asking. The vast majority of people who believe in UHC are fine with private healthcare being an option. 

Abortion, when the woman's life is not threatened, should always be illegal. 

Again this question is trying to ask "are you pro-life" but it doesn't really ask that. It's better than the healthcare question to be fair, but not much. 
A lot of people, including many pro-lifers, would also include rape and incest in times abortion is fine. That would make them pro-choice according to this question. Even though most of society would say otherwise.

All authority should be questioned

This question is asking you "are you an authoritarian". And even then even most authoritarians would answer yes. They had to rise to power somehow after all. 

All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind

This question is asking you rather or not you support "separate but equal". Which most people believe is the same as asking rather or not you're a racist. 

Good parents sometimes have to spank their children

This question has nothing to do with politics.

When you are troubled, it's better not to think about it, but to keep busy with more cheerful things

Second verse, same as the first.
In conclusion: These questions are meaningless and using them to describe your ideology is idiotic. 

So . . . Let's Talk About Brett Kavanaugh

So it's official. The president wants to make Judge Brett Kavanaugh the next Justice for the Supreme Court. So I figured it's fair that we actually look at the man Trump appointed and see what it says about the person who appointed him. So here are 5 things you need to know about the new Justice. 
1. He's Best Buddies With George W. Bush
Kavanaugh was one of the main voices that led to the outcome in the Bush v. Gore case. Bush then went and appointed him to the DC court of appeals. So, he basically owes most of his career to the second Bush.
He was also buddies with Karl Rove who praised Trump for choosing him. Here's Brett being buddies with Karl Rove:

But remember, Donald Trump is anti-establishment. 
2. Pro-Lifers Love This Guy
To give Brett credit, he did say he doesn't want to overturn Roe v. Wade. However, that doesn't anti-abortion groups aren't in love with this guy. Meanwhile, the only case he's ever done involving abortion was when he said an illegal immigrant could not get one. He's a blank slate, and that could mean anything. But his ties make many afraid he could go in the wrong direction.   
3. Believes Obamacare Is Unconstitutional 
Yes, a supreme court justice disagrees with the supreme court. Even though they determined the ACA was allowed Brett disagrees. Again, someone on the Supreme Court should more than likely understand how the court works. He also isn't a fan of net neutrality.
But don't worry. He does support the NSA. So at least he has that down.
4. He Was One Of The Main Voices In The Effort To Impeach Bill Clinton
Yup, another Republican lawyer who took place in trying to impeach Bill Clinton. Although he happens to also be against the Muller investigation. If you can't tell, he's kind of a partisan hack. 
5. He Takes The Constitution Literally, Except When He Doesn't 
If you watched Trump announce his pick for the court you would know the thing he values the most is someone who likes the constitution as is. Yet, NPR found him saying he supports "the spirit of the law" as well as the letter. Which means he believes the law is whatever he thinks it should be.   So that's everything you need to know about Brett Kavanaugh. In conclusion, god help us.
