    Hah. Hey, at least that’s a good benchmark for how the rest of us felt about US media post-9/11.

      To be fair, terrorists are basically just modern Nazis and commies. Gotta pick some enemy to caricaturize.

      Ah, yes, left far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy, opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism.

      Why does everything have to be tied to fascism? Cant there just be a bad ideology independent of fascism?

        I call it authoritarianism, which covers a variety of ideologies.

        Anything north of that top horizontal line is off limits, and I’m personally somewhere in the vast sea of libertarianism, occasionally nudging up into liberalism.

          i think human political philosophy is a little more complex than a 2 dimensional set of axis.

          but i agree, authoritarianism is probably the best word.

            Agreed, but the two axis model is a lot more informative and useful than the one axis model most people use.

              People only talk about horshoe theory because they can’t comprehend the auth/lib axis.

        Okay. I remember that plot point, vaguely, but I don’t recall it being about the DPRK, specifically. Maybe I just missed it.
