Vast government structures that encompass the lives of hundreds of millions of people can’t be put on a single page. We shouldn’t focus on political identity. We should focus on what works.
Are you saying it’s better to use one dimension to describe political ideology than 2 dimensions? Because that’s all I’m comparing. I’m not saying the political compass is perfect, I’m saying it’s better than “left VS right.”
I hadn’t seen this specific story, it’s very accurate from what I’ve seen over the years.
4chan, basically any online game chat room, blizzard in particular holy shit, I remember playing SC1 and WC3 online and for the most part everyone was normal, go to any Blizz game public chat now and it’s full of trump/nazi spammers. Crazy.
Something I’ve been thinking about since watching the comedian part of the Trumps rally right before he got elected the 2nd time… The jokes made me laugh, but not in a “haha he’s so right! Puerto Ricans are trash!” it was in a “wow! anyone who believes that is such an idiot!” similarly I very much enjoy edgy humor like Southpark or a smaller project like DBZ Abridged, TO ME the joke is in the ridiculousness that anyone would say/act/behave that way, but it absolutely invites in the people who unironically agree with it.
Whats pcm?
Political Compass Memes, it was a subreddit that sucked.
Specifically because it’s absolutely infested with Nazis.
Which is unfortunate, because using 2 dimensions to describe political ideology is much more informative than using just one (left VS right).

I’m saying human systems and the ideas surrounding them can’t be quantified by a single graph.
I didn’t say they could be. But graphs can be helpful in understanding certain aspects of those systems/ideas.
I suppose my nitpick is that it simplifies things so much that it obfuscates what we’re actually discussing a lot of the time.
It becomes an argument of this vs that instead of what do we have to do to achieve common shared goals.
There was a short time it wasn’t, and it was pretty hilarious ngl, but you have to have that kind of humor.
Yeah, it’s a perfect example of the allegory of the Nazi bar.

It’s unfortunate to say the least.
