The political compass is leftist crap. It uses two dichotomies with a big imaginary area. Trichotomies are better, such as fascist/communist/capitalist or progressive/monarchist/anarchist.
Left and Right are useless dichotomies at this point. Everyone just puts all their values in the basket where their politics belong and call it Left/Right.
Just use a 100-axis political value system for max accuracy tbh. :^)
This. If I dont like what one side is doing, they assume that I must believe in all the worst views that exist on the other side.
Its ridiculous
The center-left and center-right have far more in common with each other than they do with the commies, nazis, wokies etc that exist on their side. But the left/right paradigm forces us to fear the worst elements of the other side and assume anyone who votes that way are complicit in it.
