Jeffersonian and Jacksonian as "more free"

More free for who motherfucker

neoliberals, famously slightly more socialist than communists

why is your political compass in a wind tunnel??

one of the most things in amerikkkan politics is the so-called "independent" who still participates in partisan politics the same as everybody else

He could have just tweeted “I’m a dumbass” with a lot less work

this is a really weird aerodynamics simulation

Someone spent hours on this. I bet they even have like a notepad page or something while they worked on this. I don't know what's on the notepad, it's clearly not their thoughts.

Because when I think of politically correct politicians, I think of Wilson.

At this point I’ve been exposed to so many of these shitty political compasses, I’ve developed a tolerance to the bad politics, so I’m more upset by the bizarre graphic design choices. What do the blue weather segmented lines mean? Same for the yellow-green circle. The Tropic of Cancer-esque lines are completely redundant. It’s like the creator knew this shit was shallow garbage and added a bunch of superfluous elements to create the illusion of complexity. With no regard to a consistent design scheme, of course.

So they just combined horseshoe theory with the political compass. Good job gold stars all around

Contradictions and class interests of capitalism = made up malarkey conspiracy horsepuckey

this incomprehensible shit = big brain, true, academic.

Oh dear he’s a font of fascist STEM https://nitter.net/WayCharMar

This is just a reminder to comrades that "corporatism" is a specific political term that doesn't mean the same thing as "corporatocracy" (itself a dubious term) but that it's best not to correct non-comrades when they make this error because why coach an ideological opponent on how to improve their arguments? Let them show their whole ass on the internet by putting their political naiveté on full display like this.

Tag yourself. I'm "poltically" correct

There was an engineer in the early 1900s who thought he solved capitalism, he made a whole ass system called Social Credit - this was in response to the manifest failures of capitalism but refusal to take any of Marxism seriously prima facie.

It never went very far, except in my home province of Alberta which seems to be the playground of whatever stupid ass ideas the national bourgeoisie (instead of international big bourgeoisie) think is neat at the moment.

This is the most complicated sniper scope I've ever seen.

Horseshoe theory 205

This looks like one of those shitty Peterson diagrams

stop trying to put political ideologies on a spectrum

Political Compass implies a Political Vector Field of Political Magnetism

This is so fucking philistine that it doesn't even know the neoliberal definition of "neoliberal" because it still puts it in opposition to neoconservative when neocons are a type of neoliberal. Also muh wokies being more "Socialist" than the communists, but that's low-hanging fruit

I like that they managed to combine the political compass with horseshoe theory

The politics understander has logged on

this monstrosity isn't even internally consistent. it's like PCIM but made 1000x more convoluted so much i'm not even sure what the point is or what ideology it's trying to push.

apparently even are on the socialism wind stream/river current thingy

death to america

the collectivism to fascism pipeline

Thia graph is so fucking noisy I don't even care that it's complete shit.

I think I had a stroke reading his words

phrenological politics

Look I'm not a believer in race science, but I'm starting to think we should begin measuring white guy skulls. Just in case, you know?

Real question: Is there a name for this sort of thing?

Like, my dad was the kind of guy who would draw these types of diagrams (like in the op) where he saw false symmetries based on nothing. Then he would see them with a profundity that only he really felt, and anyone he showed them would just kind of humor him. They usually were pretty shallow connections that revealed more about his own biases than the world.

It isn't quite the same diagraming I've seen with people I've know with schizophrenia, mainly because it's way less specific. But it shares a vibe.

I see this stuff a bunch. And just wonder if there's a jargon for it.
