Fun fact, if you meet someone who unironically uses the term "horseshoe theory", it is morally incumbent on you to kick the shit out of them until they can literally see inside themselves. It is then, and only then, that you are to ask them: "are you capable of introspection now?"

Lemmy libs: "Smells like TANKIE!!!!!!!!"
God, I hate the political compas
It's so lazy! I don't have a better suggestion but the linear scale is effectively the compass with liberal in the centre, authoritarian on either end and lazy people decided that the more "left" or "right" you are the closer to authoritarian you are.
Idk if I've even seen anarchist on the scale but I'd like to see some justification for where it gets sat.
Fuck horseshoe theory
