What's Your Political Philosophy?
created with QuizFarm.com

It's a misnomer. It has nothing to do with "political philosophy". It exhibits all the ethnocentrism and chauvinism and self-centredness that makes people in other countries hate America.

It assumes that the USA is the only country that exists -- all others are simply good dreams or nightmares that Americans have, and assumes that the main purpose of a "political philosophy" is to give Americans more pleasant dreams.

What makes it so repulsive is that the quiz author seems to make these chauvinistic assumptions quite unconsiously. The brainwashing is complete.
