Thomas, good for you, your alright

I'm a scientist

Epic thomas

And your friend is a socialist

Thomas the anarchist tank engine

That line made me laugh so much and I have no idea why

😂😂😂

​@@TheRedStinger82I can tell you why, but KZfaq will shiz can me so fast 😂

"BETTER DEAD THEN RED!"

Billy is also communist that makes more sense

"Duncan is just a straight-up communist" was my favourite line.

Im dying! 💀

“I can garuntee you that sirhandel has been evading his taxes for years”

@@NitroIndigo I agree

I read that as antichrist

Toby's the type of voter to fill in random bubbles just to cause a little chaos.

He just spins a wheel too decide

Toby goes with which candidate is the most attractive

@@ThighFish Kombucha?

If Spencer had a left or right side I'd say he'd be in the middle

I honestly find Arthur's claim to his spotless record, quite debatable. If anyone has a spotless record, it's Murdoch. He's never had an accident in the entire series.

Would love to hear what other dimensions you could look at the ideologies!

​@@ThomasTheorist The 9 axis political test has: Federal vs Unitary Democratic vs Authoritarian Globalist vs Isolationist Militarist vs Pacifist Security vs Freedom Equality vs Markets Secular vs Religious Progressive vs Traditional Assimilation vs Milticulturalism

Sir Yoshi Handel

​@@ThighFish😂🤣 that's hilarious!

Sir handel commits tax evasion and other stories

Well, the main reason Duncan keeps getting stuck in tunnels is because he keeps trying to do rock and roll

The quarry was a child-friendly way of saying prison and his “rough riding” after said time there speaks for itself

hit era edward is a faker

Edward and BoCo were accidently transferred to Guantanamo Bay by Hit and thus were not present for that time as they were busy building a raft to escape.

​@@jackswan3420 Lol 😂.

I'm conservative and I don't mind being friends with black or gay people...unless they devote their lifes to a nonsense ideology like Communism

Edward never likes cranes after Big mickey pushes him off the tracks

“The Tax Collector! You’ve found me!”

So that’s where he was for 5 seasons

@@Imsorrywat oh my god, that actually makes sense

Louie in the Pikmin series:

The loggers are anarchists

@@Imsorrywat they'd be AnPrim, or in other words, monke

Stepney would probably be in favour of immigration considering that in the tvs canon he was smuggled by rusty and in IRL and the red canon he was saved by the bluebell railway

Not the mention he ain't crossing lines by outright disregard for Sir Tophan Hatt when reprimanded.

I dont think Thomas is an anarchist

​@@NWRTales1221*Showing

Maybe Thomas is a AnCap The only authority he likes and listens to is his boss Sir Topham Hatt

Frankly James reminds me of Morrissey (except less gloomy) a queer guy with bigoted views

I guess I'm with Toad then

Personally, I do not think that Toby gives a single fuck when it comes to politics, it’s funny really

@@gamerscreed5779 His politics are whatever memes he thinks will piss off the person at the moment lol

That’s for us to decide with our AUs, RWS headcanons, and post-S24 headcanons

Which is weird since Gordon's an English engine.

But why does Gordon being Republican make sense?

​@@flickcentergaming680Because, he's willing to, "Make his railway great."

Really great my friend

He’s just the perfect example of someone’s elder ahah

Duke is older than politics itself so hes too confused to talk about it💀💀

Duke's so old, he's a member of John Adams' Federalist Party and campaigned against Thomas Jefferson.

I'm pretty sure Duke would be auth-right. He's conservative, and he believes in order and knowing one's place. He's also sort of a nationalist as exemplified by his dislike of Smudger/Stanley (a chaotic American immigrant).

Duke might make sense as a federalist, or even Libertarian Right.

I mean Alec Baldwin was asked if James was gay cause of the voice he did for him and he said “If that’s your interpretation”.

alot of people think James is gay

My new headcanon is that James and Edward are Bill and Ben's gay dads.

Have you seen the James x Edward fanfics?

The railway series would be different. They seem to more be "troublesome" when they are treated like shit

Racism isn’t the word, and diesels aren’t represented of minorities. If anything the steam engines are the minority’s!!

At first, I thought that this was inaccurate since he wasn’t in that story. Then I realized he’d probably be working at a factory during the time that story is taking place. Probably tried leading a workers strike or revolt leading him to get sold cheap to the skarloey railway. Since there’s a time skip between that and when he arrives on the railway, I chalk it up to the revolt he started lasting that long!

I agree, but they would be the chaotic anarchists, and I’m also an anarchist

He was specifically not considered male I think only in season 4.

The trucks are more terrorists than anything. They exist to cause destruction, even at the cost of their own lives

No??? Because its an American term???

@@lou626 What do you know? It’s a term for rebelling against any government in the world and being lawless. Like the parliament

@@thecaledoniansleeper2648 i never heard it tbh. If theres a word for thar in america , then theres a word for that in the UK. Dont get so offended lol

@@lou626 Okay Anglophile

And diesel 10 a facist.

Henry as a green conservative makes a lot of sense!😅

*"yOU arE a vERy BoSSy EnGInE!"*

Smudger would be an anarchist and Duke would be a monarchist

Most of Henry's issues were far before WW2, he was built around the late 1910s, and suffered with mechanical faults until his rebuild in 1935.

@@jackswan3420 The two counters to that are: First, when talking about Henry being left due to health issues, he was talking about the TV Series, where he has MANY health problems after this, which I think is what he was talking about, as otherwise why would he not have mentioned it for RWS Henry as well? Second, the RWS timeline doesn't make any sense! British Railways got Nationalised in 1948. And that happened between Thomas the Tank Engine and James the Red Engine in the Railway Series, which SHOULD mean James the Red Engine happens in 1948 at the EARLIEST, making everything other than the first 2 books post WW2, but apparently according to Awdry it takes place during the 1920s? Makes no sense

You're probably right. It's part of the authoritarian right's aim to paint themselves as libertarian.

It is wild that some in school see this and talk about it

hmmm...I didn't know that being apathetic is such a centrist stereotype. 😏

Spamcan? Is that a nickname for D199?

@@NitroIndigo Yep.

@@americanliberal09 It's more that Toby is liable to say he's a communist to pee Gordon off, and then say he's an arch-conservative to the Twins to troll them. Frankly, Toby has had lost all interest in Steamie politics due to the incompatibility of the opposing views.

@@robertwilloughby8050 Oh. So you seriously wanna believe that, right?

I thought James, Percy, and Henry were girls for some reason. James and Percy I think was because of Magic Railroad but I am not sure why I thought Henry was female. Probably because he was super sensitive.

I remember there where some people that thought Edward was a girl, and looking back I can see why, like in his face

i though his smile face in the clearwaters series looks like a girl when i was little

I used to think Percy was a girl based on his voice in the Sharon Miller era.

I've also found his face oddly effeminate.

Daisy I think would be conservative. She’a the most feminine character in the series, wearing makeup and refusing to do dirty work. There’s an old saying “God made Eve, not to do everything Adam can but to do everything Adam can’t”. Daisy would believe that and if she were human I could see her as a housewife. Mavis I could see libertarian left. She’s a feminist in the way that she wants to do everything the boys do but at the same time she doesn’t view herself as superior to men just because she’s a woman. If Daisy is a housewife she’s a construction worker. So socially liberal but economically conservative. Rosie would be an anarchist/libertarian because she wants to be like Thomas. So when Thomas says “down with government” she follows to impress him. Pack would probably be conservative. They’re construction workers which tend to be conservative however they’d probably be pro union. So maybe they’d be JFK era democrats.

@@ChrisSuperDude very interesting.

Victor would be pro-immigration for obvious reasons.

The thing about so-called communists (in contrast to what Marx meant by the term, which is different from what it ended up meaning) is that they’re actually right-wing. In practice, authoritarianism is inherently right-wing.

Anarcho-syndicalist

I see
