The Ptolemaic Political Compass

Silver Members - Listen to Audio Version

Have you ever wondered how it’s possible that nowadays, one person can get simultaneously labelled a ‘zionist’ and a ‘nazi’ by those on the same side of the political aisle? Or how the same political platform can be simultaneously accused of populism and corporate favouritism? Or simply why almost everyone is a ‘fascist’ today, almost regardless of their politics?

A neat answer to these questions lies in the model of the political spectrum I’d like to call the Ptolemaic political compass.
