it’s a terrible tool, and it’s no wonder you were lumped in with hebepaedophiles if you think it’s a useful metric.
Comment on Consideration to Defederate Hexbear
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 1 year agoIts 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

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.

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