The most interesting thing to me is that the Freedom of Speech is clearly singled out as a scary woke value now.

Unions are less woke than freedom of speech

I guess it's alluding to the fact that some sellout "union leaders" supported Trump in 2024.

It's not "cryptocurrency", just "crypto", i.e "secret". so it's a "value" very important to libertarians that you wouldn't want to say out loud in public.

I posted an older version some time ago. I'm sure they edited it because all the comments were talking about how stupid it was. They still haven't realized that unions aren't centrist, at least not in the anglosphere. But instead of actually gaining an understanding of things, they chose to just remove stuff.

Not to defend the typical political compass bullshit, but I think this is just clickbait targeting chuds in particular after realizing they are an easily scammable demographic; I don't think anyone put any serious thought into this.

If you look the site up that is being advertised you'll mostly see people warning others that it's a hidden subscription scam site. The biggest thing they offer is some nonsense love quiz and a fake IQ test (more fake than usual, I mean), which are also extremely half-assed and will force you to pay before showing any results. Then they secretly charge you way more in a subscription you don't know exists.

So if anything, I'd argue them dropping the vaguely progressive parts of their advertisement to get more suckers is a good sign, lmao

Blue in top left are supposed to be the communist democrats while the top right has stolen red for republicans.

Unregulated capitalism isn't meritorious, it's meretricious, that's clear as vacuum unless one believes in the magic of competition correcting every inefficient behaviour instantly. All the time, companies put failsons or useless nephews and nieces to undeserved posts, elevate people into managers based on arse licking, or sometimes bring in Econ infants with no clue what's going on due to a perceived competence. Entire ecosystems built to leave nobody higher than an intern holding the bag when shit hits the fan, even if it means absurd amounts of labour time and resources wasted.

Anyway, the political compass is just another Facebook personality test. All ideologies sitting on some convenient spectrum is frequently just as thought terminating as liberal vs conservative.

From what I understand, it came out of libertarian circles as a way to depict their politics as just one of the four main political tendencies and not just fringe crank shit.

You would have to ignore capital's tendency to concentrate. Then, egregiously, you'd have to pretend like playing dirty doesn't confer an advantage. Substituting lower quality ingredients in name brand products cuts costs just as surely as eye pokes make MMA fights unpleasant. And presumably the more you want the market to deal with it, the less you want a referee. So they could make a higher quality snack cake, but they're not going to, because of the implication. And besides, who's going to buy that shit when you fully separate the haves and the have nots when the haves could hire private chefs and the moderately well off account for some 5% of all consumer spending because they are so few and far between.

And that's before you even consider your other point about nepo babies and wanting to work around your friends as opposed to someone more qualified. When you're the only show in town and it's prohibitively expensive and there's a horrible aura around competing with you ゴゴゴゴゴゴ you can squeeze the expertise for a dwarfed salary

They won't tell you your results without a (likely uncancellable and adjustable rate) subscription, but they will put x-axis amd y-axis coordinates in the URL so you can tell where it's going.

Not a bad grift tbh.
