I really don't understand these weirdos placing fascism in the top middle.
- They want to rehabilitate fascism by making it look moderate.
- They want to make communism look worse than fascism
- They are historically illiterate and think the economic policy of the Nazis was some kind of social democracy with death camps. They stubbornly reject any facts about the symbiotic relationship between the nazis and capitalism.
- The political compass is a propaganda device made by a lolbertarian to make "an"cap shit look like the ideology with the most freedom in it. To achieve that they place the Nazis far away from "an"caps and close to communists.

Literally, right? I remember the test being on some smol gov't focused website over a decade ago.
Also, one always has to plug the Halim Alrah video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPVkpWMH9k
Intentionally rehabilitates the ideology and warps people's perspective of what fascism actually is.
The last time I risked brain poisoning by going on pcm their belief was, as I understand it, that the left-right axis has communists/anarchists as the farthest left and traditional monarchists as the furthest right possibilities. And so liberalism is in the middle of these ideologies. Fascism, being liberalism that's gone mask off, is also in the middle, though with an authoritarian streak to define it as separate from centrist libs.
So there's a twisted logic to it. Of course it's completely detached and incoherent and is deliberate fascist propaganda to sanitize their beliefs. "See, fascists aren't radicals. They're just normal centrists except they want a strong ruler. Don't you want a strong ruler to protect you, my little Amerikkkan? Protect you from the tyrants and the CCP and the immigrants and White Genocide. We'll protect you. Better than that, if you vote for/fight for/die for [insert fascist leader here] you'll be protecting yourselves."
The left to right is economic though. The furthest left of the spectrum represents the absolute victory of the working class over the bourgeoisie and the furthest right represents the absolute victory of the ruling class over the proletariat. Monarchy is not the furthest right, fascism is.
They are just wrong and do not understand fascism isn't remotely centrist economically (or do understand and intentionally lie). They are pretending that it has social elements to it and doesn't utterly crush the working class.
Given that the compass was designed by libertarians to justify the existence of their ideology you should assume that they do know and are intentionally rehabilitating it.

I hadn't heard that about them before but it makes so much sense.
The NSDAP and its precursor described itself as anti-Marx socialism, so clearly, the nazi party wouldn't lie about anything and we should take everything they say as fact
"Nazis aren't right wing" is the primary purpose of that stupid fascist subreddit.
It is very typical behaviour for cool Antifa girls with awesome hair to pull out their calipers and talk about biological race classifications.
The assumption here is probably about BLM being racist against white people or something. ReVeRsE rACiSm!
I love it when I reject heirarchy to the highest extent possible and then stratify the races. This is 100% some shit about reparations and mayocide. It affirms the one drop rule, affirms a <100 y/o concept of whiteness, and scrubs out every conversation of race relations before 2010. I also love to be undecided about being subjugated by my boss, but wholeheartedly against the state. Hitler was just doing leftist infighting when he threw socialists into camps and then privatized a bunch of businesses. Communism is when everyone makes the same salary, work doesn't change, the same people are in power, and CRT is given to children intravenously.
Just think about the disrespect one might display trying to resolve tensions in Ethiopia by saying that "you're all one race, just relax, bro :^)". It's sophomoric and patronizing.
What is that like some race science shit?
Honesty, I have a theory that reddit is now exclusively populated by the absolute dregs of the right from 2015 (also the left too)
I'm talking about the losers even the alt-right despised, because they were cucks who refused to "say what they were thinking out loud"
i don't get how this is marginally worse than any other pcm post, in fact it's better than most rofl
Yeah, at least it's... kinda? making fun of nazis instead of saying they are cool and based or whatever language they like to use.
From PCM you could expect the nazi in this image to be represented by the chad wojak
It's subtle but it's also calling them not right-wing. This is a constant lie they insist upon
I think this meme is making fun of the phrase "one race, the human race" by showing how every political ideology within the PCM disagrees with it. So yeah, it's pretty bad.
Could be. I read it more as the typical centrist bullshit, as the sentence in the center is the enlightened position and all sides bad
proof that zoomers and millenials are more reactionary than every previous generation
