    (Psst, slavery is inherently authoritarian, even the libertarian right still has to be libertarian to be the libertarian right, otherwise they’re authoritarian right. They may want to pay people unfairly “so long as they agree,” but literal actual slavery is anathema to the bottom half of the compass by default. I’m not one, I just think it’s important to at least sound like I know what I’m talking about and can understand the arguments of others.)

    I think I mostly sit around the bottom left, but I dabble around towards the top left section from time to time.

    I have no authority to make any change happen, but if there was an uprising to overturn the corrupt shit we have right now, I’d join. Fuck it. What am I going to lose? I’m in debt until I’m dead.

      I’d say raising wages and expanding the social safety net is more effective, not that I’m against education.

      I guess since the leftist standpoints are so extreme there, providing basic necessities for those who can’t afford them (basically a social system like it’s found in nearly all first world countries) is centrist.
