Imagine believing that the political compass - a literal right wing propaganda tool - is not only useful, but unassailable

    I think it does a lot more to distort and flatten people's political understanding. I think its been a useful propaganda tool for billionaires trying to make "right libertarianism" seem legitimate. Its been useful for keeping people politically illiterate, but confident (why do i need any kind of theory, i have this graph)

    I hadn't really thought about being effective at radicalizing people, because of how much harm it does
