the compass itself already sucks. monarchists, fascist, nazis, pro republic/democracy catholics, pro theocracy muslims dont get along -but they are all put into the same box?
I mean they are all right leaning politically, it’s just that being right leaning includes hating almost anyone who isn’t a part of your desired group.
I mean tbf, even in the first place the political compass is a very flawed method of gaging someone's political beliefs, as they dont account for the fact that people can have completely different stances on different topics, 4axis or 8axis is usually better imo.
Saying everyone on the right is either a conservative or fascist is a high generalization, same goes for the left. There’s more to it than communism or fascism.
The political compass is to politics what the MBTI 16 personalities is to psychology. Gross oversimplifications that people worship as truths because they can't grasp the fact that reality is a WAY bigger spectrum than we percieve it to be.
Unsubscribed from pcm when saw a meme about sweden melting 'cultural artefacts'... Most people responded with simple agreement... Only a low upvoted comment pointed out that no, those aren't artefacts, that was just garbage even the museum doesnt want. 'bu but but... it could happen!' was the response. Its then I realised that its just a place for propoganda and nothing else.
@@Johnmrobinson-vb5vd they just arent though. pointing to examples of "socialism in practice" (which you may) like china and the ussr is vacuous, given that they were just authoritarian state capitalist regimes. have you read any socialist theory? further. what is anarcho-socialism? is that when everyone destroys the state (an institution providing crucial public services like healthcare, education and key infrastructure for the transportation of goods and people) and then people magically come together, with little material incentive, to form communes which form supply chains? then they form organisations to efficiently distribute goods and services because it is necessary for the population and OOPS! youve just made a nation-state again, except its pretty and black and red.
people also dont realize that almost all american politics take place in the authoritarian right quadrant, toward the middle of authoritarian but still
A progressive-conservative axis would be much more relevant to most people in my opinion than the authority-liberty axis, but it was invented by a libertarian, so 🤷
Progressive and conservative is also culturally relevant, such how Japan, a collectivist culture, handles trans topics in comparison to the individualistic cultures that the majority of Western cultures align with. For example, social transitioning counts as a form of conformity; if you conform to your gender identity, you will be accepted as such without question; conformity is essential to the culture of Japan.
There's actually funny memes involving the political compass but they are never posted there and also involve the quadrants being split into more tiny quadrants each fillded with a funny wohak character
This is such a ridiculous take. Inside Out is a great movie. One of the most creative ways of showing early adolescence that I’ve seen. Pixar hasn’t been able to surpass the quality of it ever since. Other than that, the video was pretty good. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed or even chuckled at a meme from that sub.
7:17 I don’t normally comment on stuff like this, but “if you agree with one aspect of our platform you’re not REALLY my opponent” is the dumbest thing I’ve heard all week.
As an PCM user most of this is pretty decent criticism of the memes and everything. Although the entire flair up statements and similar statements are a form of inside jokes. I also appreciate that this wasn’t just criticism against pcm for not agreeing with the slight at this point) right majority. Or the yeah nazis and extremists that are (hopefully ) a minority of the subreddit. Anyway nice video 👍
At this point, it just seems to be a right wing echochamber. No matter where you stand, if you look at who and what gets upvotes; it's clear to see that most far right extremists (which is growing due to this "community") have had to flee every other community and now just circlejerk from what I see as "libleft bad".
Bro, for my capstone class as a German major, I had a class on black germans in film. There are so few German films starring black actors that we saw almost all of them in class, and I had to get special permission to do a different final project and did it on lesbian representation in German video games instead lmao
this is why I appreciate 8values and 9axes, instead of showing where you are on a line or plane, it measures how much you agree or disagree with both sides of various issues (and for that reason personally I'd say 9axes is better because there are obviously more axes)
Wow its still accurate, the memes still don't make sense, and some of them create a 5th entity for some reason. Edit I am talking about no one owning their positions.
Tbh, I think PCM used to be actually pretty good, but then it started to go to shit *rapidly* somewhere around 2021-2022. The worst part isn't even how normie, cringe, and blatantly botted it is now. Nah, the worst part is that is just how utterly *boring* it became. It's basically a slightly less insufferable version of r/politics now. A subreddit where professional Redditors vent their spleen about American politics, just with a right-wing slant instead of a left-wing one. Not an ounce of creativity or edginess is left in that place.
8:14 hey it's been 2 years so this has probably been corrected at some point but i just wanted to point out that they're called romani, the other word is a racial slur that's been so normalized people don't even know it's a slur anymore
You should have bigger dreams, that in which your children grow up to be the edgy 13 year olds with cerebral necrosis who post on this subreddit which I've never heard of until today, and now regret hearing of.
I only started to realize how absolutely fucked that place was when in 2020, I was downvoted for saying "mask mandates are good actually" Politically diverse until you are anywhere to the left of ronald reagan
ok so I wanted to make a video that makes unfunny political memes funny (by making them unrelated to politics as the majority of those memes is just some biased stuff) and this video explains what I don't like about these kinds of political memes quite well. when you wanna say a joke, your intention is to say something funny. however, political memes are often just statements "disguised" as jokes which in my opinion defeats the whole point of it being a joke (you could argue and say that memes aren't always jokes, but tbh whenever someone says word meme a funny piece of media is probably what almost everyone thinks of).

I've been on the sub for a while, and a lot of your points are valid. I usually sort by new, because the stuff that gets a lot of updoots is usually, as you said, lowest common denominator garbage. That being said, I disagree with a few of your points but the video overall was good. Also the unflaired thing is more of an inside joke than anything.

I’ve been there it’s all just right wing strawmen now. It used to be somewhat funny when people were just there insulting themselves or putting politics in non political things but yeah it’s terrible
I mean to be honest I have never gotten mad at an article there. I dont know if I a very centrist or a chill guy but rarely do I rage online. I think its pretty good to laugh and try to lighten up politics because it sort of humanizes people. Like I dislike communism but I can laugh at them and remember they're just silly quirky people and make mistakes and lapses in judgement and that they generally are not for all out violent revolution after the fiasco that was the russian civil war. And that crimes of communists are not on the shoulders of everyone. After all why so serious?
I really liked your video. PCM, I’d argue, isn’t really full of racists and bigots, but rather people who want to make silly edgy jokes. I’d like to commend you on how fair and polite the video was, though. I’ve seen so many “criticisms” of the sub writing it off as a alt-right hate group.
I think it gets labelled a hate group so much is because very hateful memes towards minorities have emerged and thrived there. Not very often, but vile stuff has been allowed on there.
I was recently interested in the political compass and politics, because once I want to make my country better, but some stuff is really cringe.. I like the memes, and I like to see how they actually interact with each other based on their sides, because I think there is a system that everybody (except the very extreemists) find good, and okay
I mostly agree with the video, but you had a couple stinkers in there: 1. Inside Out is peak, and the 'problem' you described with its humor is literally just the concept of the film. It's not supposed to be the punchline, it's the literal premise. 2. Even as a Jew, I find the whole "WAA THEY'RE PLATFORMING N*ZIS" scare a bit bizzare. I've seen far-left people on those subreddits spew way worse shit than some far-right people, yet people like you are the type to not bat an eye to it and only focus on 'da evil notsees'. If you plan on combatting extremism, enforce it equally for everyone, and also realize that it's likely that these dipshits are gonna be everywhere no matter how hard you try, so don't go around blaming subreddits for not having even stricter moderation, because Reddit is already bad enough as is. 3. There was something else but I forgor And that's it basically
Yeah, that probably wasn't the best example of an incredibly racist but what the meme is saying is that they will become immediately incredibly racist because of a statement that I've literally never anyone say, maybe someone said it on twitter or something.
I think this is supposed to be a joke, because they say "[Some posters have] single-digit IQs", and is used to mock apart of the subredit and/or the political compass. This post is about the idea that it's okay to be a racist because white people are discriminated against by (a few) black people, or of any other race. The core concept of the song "Guilty of Being White" by Minor Threat is a anti-racism message about black kids in DC automatically categorizing any white person as a racist, and saying it's not okay to discriminate against any person because of their race, based upon their ancestors' past actions before they were born. it's then the recontextualization of white supremacists who take this message, and use it to spew hateful rhetoric about other races being aggressive against white people, and that white people should take action against them- a calling card to keep their white nationalism from being corrupted.
What’s up with the frustration man? It’s a fun way to explore nuances and diversify political theory. Reddit is hardly an academic source so why take it literally? But the richness of its collective unconscious is stimulating. It takes more time to filter the nonsense from the sense, but at least it offers opportunities for leaps of intuition.
Do you know literally *anything* about the 1930’s German economy, I’ll give you a hint, the term ‘reprivatisation’ was coined specifically to describe what Adolf Hitler and the nazis were doing to German industry. Privatisation and reprivatisation are inherently right-wing economic ideas. If you get your political education from memes I’m not surprised you think that Nazi Germany had literally *any* left wing slant
This is genuinely one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read and my political studies teacher would be embarrassed that I even had the misfortune of laying my eyes on this dumb ass take
They nationalised the companies they never privatised them. Companies like volkswagen and siemens were all run by nazi officials. Abolishing private property rights is pretty left wing too so yes they are centrist.
if feel like, much like with voting there should be a 1st 2nd and 3rd option. not every political system is suitable for all kinds of people, all times, all places, all economies
Orange doesn’t exist, it’s a myth created by pcmtards that can’t comprehend that people they for the most part agree with, don’t always have good takes, same goes for purple
I need to say: pcm is not perfect. A lot of low effort memes are made, sometimes there are deinformations and even naciz, but i have a really good time with this comunity. When you are literally anywhere, where are political memes, most people are really taking their own opinions too much seriously. This means that if you make a joke about some political ideology or something like this, the people who believe in it are going to down vote it. On pcm, noone really do that. its only comunity on internat, that is political and noone is really offended. I also need to say, that humor is subjective, and i have feeling you dont understant the post irony and meta irony that is going on here, also i understand that not everyone love the edgy vibe that this community gives.
I love edgy humor and pcm has the capacity to be funny sometimes, but sometimes they aren't being edgy or ironic and even if they are it's indistinguishable from actual far right extremists. It's not all bad, but it's mostly bad and low effort, and it should be better.
“Joke” last I checked a joke actually had to have even a modicum of effort put into it, highlighting text in a ‘FuNnI cOlOuR’ is as much a joke as throwing up is poetry
@@aonghasmacaghobhainn2322 Then you should reconsider your authoritative source for what a joke is. Anything that people laugh at can be a joke. It making you get your panties in a bunch doesn't make it not a joke.
Stick figure with misplaced eyes and two teeth complaining about a political meme sub that he lacks the humor to appreciate. The whole point is to share ideas and discuss across ideological boundaries under some low effort meme post. I get that you have to embrace being "soy" if you have a problem with these trivialities
@@thesoypill1583 Laughing at news articles and discussing articles that shows what ridiculous times we're dealing with is a problem? You haven't visited the place if "jews bad" is a commonly shared posted. Case in point..
@@pollytix7271 It's not a common thing, like I said in the video. But the comments on these posts are vapid and shallow attempts at humor. There is hardly ever a valid discussion that has any amount of insight, and half the time they're discussing fake news.
Most of these are just unserious silly injokes both due to very basic reference humor and posting it knowing the people you jokingly made fun of will see it and mald and make their own of you. It sucks but hey, it isn't that bad taking a step back, the dumb people are the ones that takes it too seriously or getting lost in the sauce, you didn't so you are smart so it's just a ouroboros of shitposting, the same people that would literally do those 'bloods and crips' memes you joked about. In the end the understanding the compass doesn't matter much other then the most general assessment and making fun of taking it like it's pinpoint accurate and gospel, the flair up thing is just because they can say they are inclusive but then having a group they jokingly hate.

I think this is supposed to be a joke, because they say "[Some posters have] single-digit IQs", and is used to mock apart of the subredit and/or the political compass.
This post is about the idea that it's okay to be a racist because white people are discriminated against by (a few) black people, or of any other race. The core concept of the song "Guilty of Being White" by Minor Threat is a anti-racism message about black kids in DC automatically categorizing any white person as a racist, and saying it's not okay to discriminate against any person because of their race, based upon their ancestors' past actions before they were born. it's then the recontextualization of white supremacists who take this message, and use it to spew hateful rhetoric about other races being aggressive against white people, and that white people should take action against them- a calling card to keep their white nationalism from being corrupted.
Great video, well done. I like PCM but you have some great points
advocate for self goverment has a great poltical compass test that is only 8 questions or so...
What’s up with the frustration man? It’s a fun way to explore nuances and diversify political theory. Reddit is hardly an academic source so why take it literally? But the richness of its collective unconscious is stimulating. It takes more time to filter the nonsense from the sense, but at least it offers opportunities for leaps of intuition.
Authright isn’t nazi nazi is authcenter
Do you know literally *anything* about the 1930’s German economy, I’ll give you a hint, the term ‘reprivatisation’ was coined specifically to describe what Adolf Hitler and the nazis were doing to German industry.
Privatisation and reprivatisation are inherently right-wing economic ideas.
If you get your political education from memes I’m not surprised you think that Nazi Germany had literally *any* left wing slant
This is genuinely one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read and my political studies teacher would be embarrassed that I even had the misfortune of laying my eyes on this dumb ass take
You will die before you even have the slightest clue what the definition of economics is
They nationalised the companies they never privatised them. Companies like volkswagen and siemens were all run by nazi officials. Abolishing private property rights is pretty left wing too so yes they are centrist.

all the racist memes are fire
Racists memes can be funny. I just question who is making them
if feel like, much like with voting
there should be a 1st 2nd and 3rd option.
not every political system is suitable for all kinds of people, all times, all places, all economies
Point of the vid invalidates reasons: unflaired
Unfinny band kids trying to be funny
Decent critic
Good points, also, cope a seeth orange
Orange doesn’t exist, it’s a myth created by pcmtards that can’t comprehend that people they for the most part agree with, don’t always have good takes, same goes for purple
watched this last night high as hell, don't remember anything but it must've been good because I put it in my watch later :)
fuck yeah

Bro this is hilarious
Despite me kind of agreeeing with you, You slander right so much more in this video on the compass.
I like this
Thank you plant
An important thing to note is that the sub is supposed to be entirely Satirical
Yeah but half the people aren't kidding
I need to say: pcm is not perfect. A lot of low effort memes are made, sometimes there are deinformations and even naciz, but i have a really good time with this comunity. When you are literally anywhere, where are political memes, most people are really taking their own opinions too much seriously. This means that if you make a joke about some political ideology or something like this, the people who believe in it are going to down vote it. On pcm, noone really do that. its only comunity on internat, that is political and noone is really offended. I also need to say, that humor is subjective, and i have feeling you dont understant the post irony and meta irony that is going on here, also i understand that not everyone love the edgy vibe that this community gives.
I love edgy humor and pcm has the capacity to be funny sometimes, but sometimes they aren't being edgy or ironic and even if they are it's indistinguishable from actual far right extremists. It's not all bad, but it's mostly bad and low effort, and it should be better.
Damn, lame inside out take. The movie is pretty clearly deeper than that
It is but a lot of the jokes weren't
You are wrong.
Well shit, I never looked at it that way.

dude can't take a joke
bet
“Joke” last I checked a joke actually had to have even a modicum of effort put into it, highlighting text in a ‘FuNnI cOlOuR’ is as much a joke as throwing up is poetry
@@aonghasmacaghobhainn2322 Then you should reconsider your authoritative source for what a joke is. Anything that people laugh at can be a joke. It making you get your panties in a bunch doesn't make it not a joke.
is this ironic
Stick figure with misplaced eyes and two teeth complaining about a political meme sub that he lacks the humor to appreciate. The whole point is to share ideas and discuss across ideological boundaries under some low effort meme post. I get that you have to embrace being "soy" if you have a problem with these trivialities
ah yes. sharing ideas like "news article funny hehehe" and "jews bad"
@@thesoypill1583 Laughing at news articles and discussing articles that shows what ridiculous times we're dealing with is a problem? You haven't visited the place if "jews bad" is a commonly shared posted. Case in point..
@@pollytix7271 It's not a common thing, like I said in the video. But the comments on these posts are vapid and shallow attempts at humor. There is hardly ever a valid discussion that has any amount of insight, and half the time they're discussing fake news.
It was good until it became popular.
It was never good
Most of these are just unserious silly injokes both due to very basic reference humor and posting it knowing the people you jokingly made fun of will see it and mald and make their own of you.
It sucks but hey, it isn't that bad taking a step back, the dumb people are the ones that takes it too seriously or getting lost in the sauce, you didn't so you are smart so it's just a ouroboros of shitposting, the same people that would literally do those 'bloods and crips' memes you joked about.
In the end the understanding the compass doesn't matter much other then the most general assessment and making fun of taking it like it's pinpoint accurate and gospel, the flair up thing is just because they can say they are inclusive but then having a group they jokingly hate.
