    Well. it seems I have a lot of reading to do.

    Isn't the only thing wrong with the political compass is that the questionnaire lies? I don't think it has ever gotten me right as it seems to just shove you to one of the 4 corners where I would suspect most people would actually just circle around the center point. I don't see anything wrong with adding an extra axis to the political spectrum, even if the questionnaire is bollocks. No simplified model is going to show nuance because well. it's simplified.

      Not just the questionnare, but the entire framing it uses is flawed and is meant to be used to draw reactionary stances and positions from. The ideology is coming from within the compass!!!
