tbh this is one of the better compasses because it comes closer to acknowedging the reality of the compass
the next step is to realize that any standard of law or non-violence is inherently authoritarian, and that there's also no such thing as the libertarian right
literally everybody is an authoritarian of some flavor, "libertarians" just think that the moneyed should be the only authority
"Authoritarianism" is when your political system is underdeveloped and the military has a lot of political power, when your country's poverty leads to violence in the political sphere, or when your government is centralized and therefore evil.
Of course, this only applies to second and third world countries. Western "democracies" are allowed to use military and police force and mass surveillance and shit, and that's not authoritarianism because those countries' wealth provides enough stability for the establishment of robust civil liberties. Also, oppression by corporations is not authoritarian because they are not the government.

I can't tell if you're ironically using the chudwords or if you actually mean this
To clarify, I definitely consider oppression by corporations to be authoritarian.
They are at least correct that all political spectrums and similar is just short hand for "good people I agree with and evil people who are dangerous and wrong" unfortunately they have firmly placed themselves on the cringe side of the political binary.

Political compasses are just fantasy world building for the uncreative

I swear these fucking nerds have the same armchair syndrome leftcoms have because they (lets also toss in the monarchists while we're at it) literally only exist online and only have an impact amounting to their electricity bill.
Edit: at least leftcoms have the right intentions and do try to make the world a better place.
he's got a spooky foreign sounding name that wouldn't take much convincing for them
"Libertarians" and friends (randoids, tea party, etc) only exist in America and nowhere else in the entire universe.
You know you have a nice, universally applicable way of mapping ideologies when one of them is marked "correct"
I'm gonna start doing that with all my opinions, I'll just tag my posts with "correct" so people know I'm right.
