The Opinion Project

Introduction
Datum: 01.04.1968

Ich habe es endlich geschafft. Politische Meinung; Der politische Kompass selbst wurde mit Hilfe von Wissenschaft und Mathematik (und Psychoanalyse sowie einigen Studien autistischer Individuen) entschlüsselt. Dieser Tag wird in die Geschichte eingehen, da der Tag, an dem die Politik, der Fluch der menschlichen Existenz in den letzten fünftausend Jahren, herausgefunden wurde und wahrscheinlich mehr Menschen auf dem Weg verärgern wird. Neueliberale sind Fotzen.

Key to Diagrams

 * Blue is the quadrant itself. Other than some moderates, this is what most of the quadrant in question’s quadrant will be shaded as. The blue color denotes a strong ideological, economic and authoritarian similarity and also says that it is extremely likely that the compass would cooperate with them.
 * Green stands for allies of the quadrant. They are friendly most of the time, but will differ in opinion sometimes.
 * Yellow denotes neutrality. Most of the time, this color is used solely to denote the Centrist quadrant.
 * Orange denotes a mediocre/rocky relationship. Although not necessarily enemies, compasses/ideologies in orange are often extremely opposed to the target quadrant in either authority or economic values.
 * Red stands for enemies of the quadrant. This should be straightforward.
 * Black is the worst class. It stands for nemesis and marks the sole ideology(s) that is/are fully and utterly opposed to its morals and everything it stands for.

Introductory Notes

 * Cultural Values will not be included in this study. It is too big of a pain in the nuts.
 * For each of the nine quadrants (AuthRight, AuthUnity, AuthLeft, LeftUnity, LibLeft, LibUnity, LibRight, RightUnity, Centrist), they will be divided into three subsections based on how extreme they are. This leads to twenty seven studies, so bear with me while I churn this out.
 * The two sub-quadrants (Orange Lib/AuthLeft and Purple LibRight) will be their own categories since nobody wants them.

The Compass

 * Dimensions:
 * The compass is measured using units, an apparatus I came up with to measure the compass (hmm yes, the floor is made of floor). One unit is equal to one half of a quadrant. Therefore, the compass is 4x4 units, with 16 sq. units.
 * The sole purpose of creating these units is to make the trigonometry easier.
 * As mentioned prior, each quadrant will be divided into three sections: moderate, extremist and off-compass. This does not impact measurement in any way.
 * Properties
 * The compass will follow the standard template, with half of LibLeft being orange and half of LibRight being purple.
 * There will be math on it. Brace your small brains.
