Fun fact, if you meet someone who unironically uses the term "horseshoe theory", it is morally incumbent on you to kick the shit out of them until they can literally see inside themselves. It is then, and only then, that you are to ask them: "are you capable of introspection now?"
An anarchist walks in to a bar, sees the bartender missing, hops over and starts serving drinks.
A Nazi walks in to the bar and starts beating the shit out of a patron.
A centrist follows the Nazi in to the bar, sees what's happening as the anarchist hops over the bar to try to stop the fight. The centrist insists on hearing the Nazi out, accuses the anarchist of being violent, and when the bartender finally comes back to run the bar, the centrist accuses him of stealing.
God, I hate the political compas
It's so lazy! I don't have a better suggestion but the linear scale is effectively the compass with liberal in the centre, authoritarian on either end and lazy people decided that the more "left" or "right" you are the closer to authoritarian you are.
Idk if I've even seen anarchist on the scale but I'd like to see some justification for where it gets sat.
I always thought nationstates gets a bit closer (and it's funny)
