I thought I was an Auth-Left, but turns out I'm a Lib Left? Am I allowed here in lemmygrad.ml? And what idealogical learning, unlearning and changes I should make to myself?

Wait but the Honorable Comrade of Political Scorpio is allowed to come into contact with Trots... are you sure this is wise, can you consult the stars agian?

It really depends on the time of their birth, what the moon and all those guys were doing, and how the furniture was arranged in their hospital room. A lib-left Scorpio could only mesh well with a water sign Trotskyite. You get a fire or air Trotskyite in the same room as a water and that's why it always splits.

Wait what? And I don't like trotskyism! I mean, I don't agree trotskyists! And what's with signs and political ideologies? I still don't get you, or convinced with your elaboration!

What was the moon up to on your birthday? You don't need to tell me your birthday, just give me the coordinates and percentages. Then I'll be able to tell you whether or not you'd get along with most Trotskyites or if you're stuck with anarchism.

I don't have that data, and I don't feel like to know! But you seem pretty knowledgeable in these calculations. So what's the hypothesis behind it? How can you say all these stuff?

I think they're just joking lol

They're making a joke about political compass tests being about as meaningful and accurate as astrology, they're not making fun of you, just the political compass stuff being completely useless.

EDIT: I didn't see Happybadger's explanation below.

Classic Ophiuchus behavior, thinking astrology is a joke like this

fucking liberals

The moon was ascendent in the fifth quadrant by 46% for me, but it was a long labour; by the time my feet were out, it was down again to 34% at 57° of the third signal. I think that's why I'm such a lib, tbh, but what can I do? The heavens are either aligned or they're not, and for me, they were not 😔
