Something that really bothered me about the original Reddit PCM before i left was that people on the LibRight side were always construed as these apathetic capitalists who accept everyone and get the last laugh by selling to both sides. But i never found that to be even close to the reality. Any genuine libertarian i ever met was poor, in debt, and usually had deeply rooted biases about sex and race. A far cry from “how do i monotze this”.
Reddit pcm was also infested with right wingers in general. Any remotely left-leaning opinion was heavily downvoted
“I’m libleft but Hitler had some good ideas, especially about LGBTQ+ folk” - Average r/PCM user
Nazis in cosplay. Really ruined what was, at the very very start, a goofy and only slightly offensive community.
Well, poor, racist, and sexist is already taken up by authright, and let’s face it, most self-identified libertarians are just looking for the
whiteright boots to lick. It’d be more accurate to the general population to have libright be 90% authright, but that would also make the quadrant kind of pointless. As it’s all a dumb horoscope, libright gets to be the Andrew Ryan/impoverished corpo slave composite of their wet dreams, for amusement purposes.
Something neat to think about is that Left Right usually means Progressive to Conservative, and if you look at it that way then it should really just be a triangle where the three points are
-
Direct Democracy Borderless World of Equality and Prosperity on the left
-
Authoritarian Dictatorship on the top right
-
Pure Unregulated Anarchy on the bottom right
Which makes a lot more sense in the context of all the Tankies supportind Donald Trump and praising dictators Jinping and Putin.
lol no
