    I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here? But to go along with what I assume your analog is, if you’re talking about height then you need to say you’re talking about height regardless of what unit you’re using. “Two metre box” means constrains only one dimension, much the same as the word anarchy by itself does.

      just because an ideology predates the left right spectrum (quite flawed as it is but this isn’t the problem), doesn’t mean it can be put in there.

      fascism and democracies predated the left-right spectrum, would you say they can’t be there

        The political compass has both an X and a Y dimension, you know. As it happens, the Y dimension exists almost specifically because of anarchy.

          oh god, don’t bring even more arbitrary BS into here.

          the phase space of vague stuff like political ideology would have an arbitrary large number of parameters, not whatever 2 you see in memes.

          Is the society so painfully brainrotted that people genuinely think memes are realities?

            Weird to hear this from the person who moments ago was arguing that there’s no problem projecting this concept on an even smaller number of dimensions.
