    The political compass is annoying as fuck. Disinformation to make people think they understand politics but they don’t.

      Not trying to argue, but do you have another model that works better? I refer to it because it’s commonly known and the quick for people to understand and it captures more nuance than “left vs right”.

        For instance the Khmer Rouge’s communism is vastly different from say Mao Zedongs, yet on the political compass they would be placed in roughly the same spot. This causes massive issues with understanding of these things for the general masses and creates a social influence that is massively idiotic.
