Unions are centrist. Don’t you know the anarcho-syndicalists of revolutionary Catalonia all voted for Andrew Yang? And only far left anarchist democrats like Bernie Sanders want universal healthcare.

      This is what makes me think it might be AI. It could be Christian purity culture, but auth right has a long history of being against “sexual immorality” as part of their supremecist beliefs. It might even be a dog whistle for “racial” purity. But I tell you what it isn’t. It’s definitely not the right to have pure and untainted food. The “lib” right is all for bumping up the sawdust content until market forces tell them otherwise.

    The CIA agent who invented political compass memes deserved a raise. They’re a perfect way to make the ignorant feel informed and like they’re listening to “all sides” while actively making them more ignorant.

    How is universal healthcare left libertarian but universal income is left slight-authoritarian? Obviously they’re not entirely identical ideas but they’re close enough that they should be near each other on the chart.

    I think my favourite part of this is swapping the red and blue to do the old “Nazis are socialists” game.

    Claiming meritocracy for the far right when the CPC is probably the most meritocratic organisation I’ve ever seen is wild. I genuinely can not think of a more meritocratic org, even historically.

      I don’t think we should use “merit” at all, it’s a pretty impractical notion that can have essentialist undertones depending on the context

      Merit is commonly used to denote admirable effort relative to a certain set of conditions. For example, someone achieving something despite having a certain handicap has more merit than someone who doesn’t have said handicap

      The CPC rewards competence with a result-oriented policy of evaluation, members are evaluated according to their objective contribution to the effort, it doesn’t take into account if the person had to struggle a lot to achieve something small

        I don’t think it should take into account the amount someone struggled. What matters most is the result itself.

        I get that this means that people with a handicap will advance less in the party but the purpose of the party is to get the best outcome for the largest number of people surely? This is going to result in a low representation of disability at higher levels but separate bodies can be created specifically for the issues those people face so as to reduce/prevent discrimination that might stem from that low representation.

    Don’t you know the anarcho-syndicalists of revolutionary Catalonia all voted for Andrew Yang?

    David Graeber advocates for UBI at the end of Bullshit Jobs: A Theory, and then immediately backpedals and admits to the caveat of “but we’d have to implement regulations for pricing and rent controls too”
