A linear scale and even the 2d "compass" is only useful for the most basic introduction to political parties but sometimes ya gotta meet people where they are at 🤷‍♀️

Okay, what is a right type of person and a left type of person?

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

The left and right have the same kind of person who exhibit the same kind of behavior, but believe in different things.

For example: There is a type of person that is quiet another kind of person is loud.

Both the left and the right have quiet and loud people.

No one ever said that, people define left and right in regard of political alignment

Thanks for clarifying, I did read your comment wrong. Brain hasn't properly booted yet 😅

Yes, it is true that this is what people sometimes mean. What the meme is about is specifically when people say the politics of the "far right" and "far left" are similar.
