@elduvelle I reject the notion of a linear political scale that one can "fall on". In reality we are all made of many different biases in different directions, either willing to acknowledge our shortcomings or wanting to live in obliviousness.
But also "far left"

@spacekookie @elduvelle agreed, the linear scale at identifying a persons politic is a flawed construct, people simply do not think in two dimensions.

@robchapman @elduvelle I think any dimentionality you're going to introduce fundamentally means missing nuance. The political compass isn't really any better. There's some quizzes where you have like 8-12 sliders or something, that could be a bit better? But it's also still so subjective

@robchapman @elduvelle Which I guess is my point πŸ˜… Politics is subjective and labels can be kinda useful sometimes, but they're also going to miss nuance and it would be real nice if we could get past circle jerking around labels as a society

@spacekookie @elduvelle I guess then we as a species need governance that represents a wide range of view points - a progressive council, rather than a government that leans to one side or the other..
