These people have some desperate need for neat little boxes, each with their own designation, to put themselves and others into, and that's just not how the world works.

Lol, most of the axis didn't even have labels. The reductionism is obviously silly, but presenting the classic 2D model as if that was actually how words are used is genuinely hilarious

I'm not glad you think it's funny that you were not properly educated in political terminology and political science.

your teachers failed you.

My guy I'm not arguing for neat little boxes. I'm saying that each of the little green boxes and neat little yellow boxes are all their own separate views and opinions, but all fall under the collective branch of libertarianism. And in that same breath I will tell you that Russia, China the United States Great Britain, Germany, etc can all be classified as authoritarian states.
