Slide from my government class where Bernie Sanders is more left wing than China, Pinochet is extreme right wing authoritarian and Milton Friedman is a sweet right wing libertarian despite advising and defending Pinochet. Obama is more authoritarian and right wing than Washington as well.
I like how far this thing has to stretch to make libertarians (the bottom right quandrant) into something that actually exists instead of bow-tie nerds fantasizing about utopia. Over on the right you've got Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Ayn Rand, and Murray Rothbard. A bunch of electoral failures, a lady whose books are drivel, and a contrarian academic who said child slavery should exist. Ok cool.
And they're equated on this chart with Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Nelson Mandela, people who actually did things and governed countries. Libertarians are such a joke. Their only success is Javier Milei in Argentina and he instantly because a standard right-winger upon taking office, whoops.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
