I have been thinking about the following the last several years and have drawn some dark horse conclusions. I’m boiling it down here and leaving it a riddle. It’s another way to see something we may rarely question.
“Political compass” or “left/right spectrum” is a mind trap. Radical isn’t included within the trap. Why isn’t it? Not for “a reason” but for the dangers of “reason” itself.
The political spectrum tool stamped in our brains, with its minor variants, is a brain trap to prevent political reasoning while deceptively posing as a tool of political reasoning. It functions in reality in the following ways.
1. Substitution of complex social thought with simplistic explanations.
2. Internal self denying the holism of our humanity by it assigning limited dimension personality to political beliefs.
3. Separation of popular social forces into false diametric opposition of each other.
4. Divorcing political agency from culture, pulling culture apart by its political parts.
5. Hiding the beneficiaries of this brain trap, making them invisible and innocuous.
6. Simultaneously as making these beneficiaries invisible, the brain trap gives to them everything it takes away from the rest of us, making themselves central to the self definition of all others.
The next thought in puzzling this is yours to take. Step back & examine for yourself the “left/ right spectrum tool” as a potential deceptive brain trap. Note what you observe. What other things do you see that I did not describe? What of my observations did you similarly note?
Now that you’ve given it thought, what is the invisible within it, that counterintuitively has the only clear definition, that informs all others which I allude to in my sixth point?

My Original Conspiracy "Theory"
The first podcast that I really fell in love with was Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, and also his political podcast Common Sense. That was when I realized that I actually do enjoy learning and enjoy reading.
Anyway, during a February 2014 Common Sense episode titled Poking the Bear, he accurately predicted that US meddling in overthrowing the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych (through what is called a color revolution) would eventually provoke Russia into invading Ukraine. Many political commentators noticed this at the time as well, not just Dan.

Well, I had my first huge red-pill moment back then. In 2014, I remember Dan, and other political commentators, were gaining traction pointing out the folly of US foreign policy but then in October 2014 then gay marriage was legalized and never again did I see any mention of Ukraine. To me, that ruling was too perfectly timed, ...
