seeing this graph got me thinking
it is political compass slop and the political compass is bullshit but it's still very interesting in this context
Why are the libleft and authright the most fetishistic quadrants?
and also another really interesting thing
the sample size for men (15k) is much larger than the sample size for women (5k) because women take the political compass test much less than men. thus the woman graph is much more oriented towards the extremes on all sides because to be a political compass involved woman is to be much weirder compared to the norm for women and thus more permitting of extremism although political compass stuff is in both cases outside of the norm
i must add that it's highly likely that a signicant part of the female respondents were trans women and that's safe to assume if you're on /leftypol/ and have interacted with many political extremists
and this got me wondering why cis women don't get involved with terminally online shit as much
i think this has everything to do with the fact that cis women rarely go beyond the major socially acceptable online spaces (instagram, tiktok, snapchat, sometimes even youtube is too niche, and only the hyper-mainstream slop areas of these areas)
discord, reddit, 4chan and altchans, even youtube on occassion, and the less mainstream regions of tiktok, youtube, and ig are basically all men and trans women
for example almost every man i've ever met from gen z has heard of Chris Chan and only one woman.
why is this?
are women just less autistic or is the autism just expressed different
i think it will be the difference of expression
the material conditions of the time lead to a very strange paradox in which women are marginalized, this is clear from anyone who has lived in society, that in lingustics generally the male sex is given first-order preference fore example, and that men too are alienated as seen clearly by suicide rates and the rise of the (highly retarded) incel movement and increase in (say the line) male lonlieness. this leads to different expressions of the same alienation with the present material conditions and the frequent failure to realize class conciousness from both sexes as they simply blame the other sex for their problems. we can see that a hyper-capitalist society like south korea has this extremely accelerated.
god i wish guy debord was still alive
>>2358674if i were to guess its probably because liblef is where most people will probably gravitate to just because its the least notably deplorable of the 4 to normies
>stalin pol pot mao>hitler hitler hitler>"uh they're kinda annoying and gay i guess">thatcher, unrelating capitalismanother factor i would say is that if youre very into what most would call idenity politics and lgbt shit then youre simply going to probably be thinking about sex more than most and probably also more deeply
>>2360682>no, the test is literally made to put you in the green quadrantHow?

>>2364565it frames the premise of the questions towards it. like if you say you believe in freedom it gives you a +1 to libertarian. to score authoritarian you would have to say that you "strongly disagree" with freedom instead of something more naunced like freedom coming from necessity or being enabled by the construction of a material base of production that supports it.
after a quick scan "Schools should not make classroom attendance compulsory." for example. is compulsory education authoritarian? or is being illiterate a barrier to freedom? this example is literally freedom is no homework tier idealism, where a materialist would say having more capacity to act gives you more freedom of choice. the kind of person whos biggest obstacle in life is being told what to do by their parents might think freedom is being able to do whatever they want, while a person without access to education might think they have less freedom because they dont even have the option. the test does not distinguish and will call you hitlerstalin if you think kids should learn to read.
results will be further biased by the fact that you have internet and be able to read to take the test. leftvalues has the same issue where it puts things into a binary opposition when thats not necessarily true, like it will say you are against environmentalism just because you are for industry and vice versa as if human flourishing and environmental protection are necessarily at odds. theres even questions where if you "agree" it will move you away from a position because the question assumes that the statement is negative, but its possible to think whatever it is a good thing or inconsequential. or you could end up with a mess of results because you answer "agree" to a series of things that are contradictory because you think they are all good ideas but which ones should be implemented depends on material conditions, like questions about centralization and bureaucracy. so its less about what you ultimately believe and more about assuming that your talking only about your own country and what applies to the material conditions there, but the framing implies that tendency is universal and doesn't give you the option to say different material conditions call for different strategies.

one goal for all of this nonsense of development - immortality, automation and spontaneous restructuring of materials by reaction
