A linear scale and even the 2d "compass" is only useful for the most basic introduction to political parties but sometimes ya gotta meet people where they are at ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Okay, what is a right type of person and a left type of person?

Eta: I don't know why this is being upvoted. I read their comment wrong. I don't want to delete it because the thread won't make sense.

The comment I was replying to was irrelevant to the thought behind the meme, which doesn't make it a bad comment, just not something I would have replied to because I don't think it was directed to me specifically ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

    The left and right have the same kind of person who exhibit the same kind of behavior, but believe in different things.

    For example: There is a type of person that is quiet another kind of person is loud.

    Both the left and the right have quiet and loud people.

    Thanks for clarifying, I did read your comment wrong. Brain hasn't properly booted yet ๐Ÿ˜…

    Yes, it is true that this is what people sometimes mean. What the meme is about is specifically when people say the politics of the "far right" and "far left" are similar.
