  And, in case anyone doesn’t already know, the left-right model of politics and all its variants (political compass, horseshoe, etc.) are not useful models for analysing politics.

    Thank you for this link. And I’ll try to get through it all.

    But it’s cut like it’s a TikTok. And it’s 48 minutes long. Can somebody do a welfare check on me tomorrow?

      If you mean all the cuts and animations in the introduction, that eases up afterwards.

    No kidding. The left-right compass assumes the right are conservative.

    Centre is conservative. Moving in neither direction. Right has demonstrably proved itself to be in fact, regressive.

    Of course, noone wants to actually change the general incorrect assumption, like always.

    I’ve given up putting myself on the spectrum. I know what I believe in, and not everything seems to align neatly with the progressive majority. Standardised categories are useless bunk in the end.
