Political compass memes are unironically the dumbest fucken shit ever, I really hate them.
Any attempt to plot all of politics onto a two dimensional image is just pure concentrated idiocy mixed with huge helpings of stereotyping and propaganda. Stop taking these things seriously, they are not serious, they are actually the opposite of serious and are actively misleading you and making you dumber just looking at them.
Sir/Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.
The compass was basically designed with the intention of saying "Libertarians good, everyone else bad!"
Because the opposite of Libertarian on the scale was Authoritarian, and before we had to remind people that that was indeed a bad thing to be, the idea was to try and convince people that anything that isn't a libertarian, by extension, anyone who isn't part of the libertarian party of the US, must be some kind of authoritarian.
I love that economists think people are like a perfect sphere than spends time and money rationally and I just make the most mentally taxing decisions time and time again I just use linux and be a commie online like 😋 stfu Keynes
sudo chmod +x ./proletariat
sudo chown nobody:proletariat means_of_production
Aren't most US presidents in like the top right? It's such a bad system because like Lib Right is a grift and Auth Left is even more theory than Communism is, all those tankie countries are just Auth Right but with a revolution that failed beforehand and a lot of dead communists who never got to tell us how bad the new system is. A scale makes more sense. Its like a scale along a line, but with different flavors of policy priorities. Unironically make the whole thing based on a linux distro picker.
Wha.. whats in the very bottom left.... 😶🌫️
leftist bottoms
Me
lmao, thats my post i made ages ago mocking how bad the political compass test is
but also i disagree with being called a tankie since this was my political compass result:
[edit, images arent working for me so like ill just write down my scores, i got -10.0 on the x axis and -7.8 on the y axis]edit: i made that post like 6 weeks ago and my instance has never federated with your instance so were you literally just stalking through my old posts going months back on my account for some reason? because if you were thats really fucking weird ngl, i've never interacted with you once (i cant even see your account at all on my main), so idk why you're stalking my posts
I have no specific interest in you. I grabbed the meme from a thread full of tankies that were butt-mad about being misidentified as anarchists. A few weeks later I'm here on 196, and remembered to follow the rule. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🤔
the bit about not being an ML because the polcomp test thinks im an ancom (because im radically pro queer rights) was the joke
i made the thread like weeks and weeks ago as a dumb bit to dunk on the polcomp test, no ones commented in it since, so how did you find it unless you were scouring peoples accounts for ages for posts? because like, we decided to defed your instance before federation even started for us due to concerns over poor moderation, so you must have literally gone to our instance directly to look through the posts
ig if you're not stalking me specifically and instead just an entire website you dont like thats like, less creepy on a personal level (forgive me for being cautious about it; ive had two chasers from this instance looking through my post history and following me from post to post before until i actually discussed it with the instance admins in dms and one got a ban and the other a warning) but also really fucking weird, like what do you get out of scrawling through months of posts by queer communists you dont like to find posts you don't like so that you can post them here?
I like this meme... pretty much a mood for me ;p
