The political compass is a means to normalize right-wing political philosophy -- it's three right-wing quadrants against one left, and implies by its design that the "sensible" centrist position includes some degree of compromise with fascism. It's a political trojan horse for far-right ideology.

Fuck the political compass. That can stay on reddit.

Is that supposed to be steve banon in the bottom right?

Also, cringe for using the quadrants, their actual usefulness as a political descriptor has been long discredited.
