Found on Bsky, but feels truthy to me:

A version of the 2-axis "political alignment" chart, calibrated Economic left/right on the X axis and Libertarian/Authoritarian on the Y axis.

The squares are captioned:

Authoritarian/Economic left: "Shoot the Nazi".
Libertarian/Economic left: "Punch the Nazi".
Authoritarian/Economic right: "Be the Nazi".
Libertarian/Economic right: "Technically it's ephebophilia".

@cstross “it's not paedophilia, it's 'barely legal' ” 🤡

pour ceux qui aurait loupé un numéro, c'est un commentaire de Megyn Kelly, commentaire descendu en flamme sur les tubes, il va sans dire.

Kyle Kulinsky corrige: c'est plutôt 'almost legal ...' PAS 'barely legal'

@cstross It’s a clever update to the classic definition, “A libertarian is someone who knows the age of consent in every jurisdiction.”

@sidb @cstross

A libertarian is somebody who's constantly mad that the government forces his girlfriend to have to use a booster seat

@cstross This shows the limitations of a 2d model here, with no option for "punch both the Nazi and the annoying guy the the lower right quadrant".

@mattblaze @cstross Those two axis alignment charts (not only the political ones, the psychological and the others too) remind me how AI handles ideas as n-dimensional vectors. How many dimensions would be required? neocat_thinking

@cstross only if you think being sick is worse than choosing to be abusive.

Which I guess tells one something about the people compiling the diagram.

@Colman You know that's the current rape-apologist discourse in US Republican circles over the Epstein emails and likes of Matt Gaetz?

@cstross yeah, I know, and I’m very tired.

Raping teenagers for the hell of it because you’re a self obsessed dickhead who gets off on the exercise of power and the sense of taking something from them is morally *worse* than raping prepubescent children because you’re wired wrong and have crap impulse control. They’re not the same thing at all.
