Comment on Consideration to Defederate Hexbear
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 1 year agoAt least with the political compass, libertarianism is simply the southern two quadrants.
Not that it has anything to do with this comment, just wanted to clarify that the notion of “western libertarians” is likely a misunderstanding.

please reconsider deriving your politics from reactionary memes

Its a descriptive tool. As such, its is both as meaningful and arbitrary. As all other made up words and concepts.
I think the important part is that it helped explain my ideology in less words than a drawn out online screed

Your “ideology” doesn’t exist. That’s why it can only be explained by something as meaningless as the political compass

it’s a terrible tool, and it’s no wonder you were lumped in with
hebepaedophiles if you think it’s a useful metric.The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 1 year ago
It’s not though man…
It fundamentally breaks when ideologies which agree on issues are shown as diverging when others don’t. If you’re really a communist you should understand this as idealist nonsense which can’t actually reflect the complexities of political thought. “Libertarian” thought is also that which supports indentured servitude. Do “libertarian socialists” agree with that? No I sure hope not.
This is a fundamental breakdown of that depiction of politics and the fact that you still reference it as a “useful tool” betrays the incoherence of your politics.
