Aside from politcal compasses themselves being intrinsically stupid, especially when you transparently make your favorite section the ‘correct’ one (even though ‘authoritarian leftist’ is in general the closest to being the correct one in real life) - they’ve included the LGBT flag in the liberal but NOT the communist section, while they’ve included patsocs and national chauvinists amongst actual anti-imperialists.
It basically spells out a specific set of brainworms, the ‘social conservative’ who believes all LGBT rights are bourgeoise inventions rather than being crucial to the struggle of the working class, and who also buys in to the idea of ‘redeeming the USA’ by just turning it communist instead of needing to tear the whole thing down and build new structures in its ashes.
That’s fair but as far as liberal nonsense this compass is very surprisingly not absolute crap it has relevant and sometimes even correct takes I for one am impressed, but yeah throwing lgbt rights on the liberal side is just sad indeed
Personally I look at this compass and my own thoughts are- it’s almost 100% brain worms lol… Though at least I suppose it seems they probably support Palestine, and aren’t homophobic. Which is basically just meeting the criteria of “not a blatant genocidaire/bigot”- until you realize they’re probably in support of the Banderites, NATO, and ETIP (and thus effectively a genocide-supporting, warmongering bigot) and support (or lump in the ““libertarian left”” anyways) other abhorrent institutions like the EU, rogue Taipei, and the Nordic regimes.
which brainworms, like it’s a bit reductive in my oppinion but it’s alright

? This is generic “maga communism” the idea of the US is good, but every US enemy is good especially for being socially regressive.
