    The problem isn’t adopting a political ideology. The problem is that the political compass is bullshit. It doesn’t reflect actual ideologies and its only purpose seems to legitimize “right libertarian” as an ideology, when its just incoherent nonsense pushed by billionaires

      In that particular “test” yes. I might’ve been too general

      Though I’d still be worried about those adopt based on a falsely guiding tool

        Yeah, i agree that people using this is bad. The underlying problem though is political illiteracy. Thats why something as obviously bullshit as the political compass can be accepted by people.
