A More Honest Political Compass

There are many graphs akin to the 'political compass' on the internet, all of which claim to portray the political spectrum and the nature of your politics. We thought we would post an improved version. It is similar to the previous political compasses, however now we have edited them to properly reflect the extent of their ability to characterise political views across the spectrum. We feel like this will give a more accurate reading of your politics, while still exploiting the capacities of the political compass to the full. Enjoy:

This hopefully illustrates the power of the political compass itself to enlighten you about politics.

Everything's bigger in Texas

Trump doesn't support illegal immigration. It's not grandiose enough, you see.

Instead, he supports Israel, a whole state that 'immigrated' into the middle of the Middle Eastern states. Indeed, he goes to great lengths to do so.

We can see that Trump's politics are often akin to a politics of 'reality TV.' There isn't much passion so much as a pretense.

Ocasio-Cortez isn't close to a 'socialist,' as even figures within the Democratic Party have noted. Ocasio-Cortez is merely a moderate 'reformist,' if that. The overall bourgeois agenda remains the same. Yet Trump is apparently a 'fascist,' and Ocasio-Cortez more willingly a 'socialist.' The mild bourgeois political crowd are not content to leave radicalism alone, they wish for their petty dramas to seem larger-than-life by pretending that radicalism is involved. Instead of actually letting people engage with 'fascism' or 'communism,' the bourgeois electoral politics have decided that it would be safer to just re-enact a diluted version of this drama on the political arena, to assure people that there is no way out of their bourgeois 'centrist' Matrix.

In the world of bourgeois politics, they proudly hold to the old biblical saying, "All is vanity."
