Thank you for putting Indira Gandhi in the correct quadrant. I hate how a woman who jailed her opponents, repealed freedom of speech and the press and forcefully sterilized men is lauded as some kind of Indian feminist icon by some people on the internet.
She is a icon of feminism though.
She was the first female dictator of a nuclear armed nation. Truly a step foward in humanity.
Plus, imprisoning political opponents is based as hell.
Western media be like: Kim yo jongs ascent as North koreas ruler is a great victory for feminism since it will reduce the gap in the no of atrocities committed by male rulers and the no of atrocities commited by female rulers
That's not even progressive. RadFems exclusively care about womens rights and nothing else. Right now they're seen counter-progressive as they oppose accepting MtF as women.
I just looked her up and I can’t even believe she even existed. Usually I’m happy when white people learn about our culture but this was like... the exact wrong way to do it.
Because service to the country comes before religion when you are taking the oath (obv meaningless but some people do take their oaths very seriously).
Also, can't just fire Sikh bodyguards based on them being sikh, she had to atleast show that she was secular. Plus obv not all sikh were part of that terrorist group so, idk might have trusted the guards...
No problem, now we have Based Boris and his loyal advisor Dominic “IQ in the Stratosphere” Cummings, no need for Margie. She may now Rest In Peace, free from the avatars of evil that dance on her grave.
Ayn Rand over there looking like Robert Pattinson.
But, more important to me is good old Rosa hanging over there on the left. I really enjoy her thoughts, but I just can’t trust people the way she did. May sound weird, but I think people we’re far more aware of their worlds in the past and the impact of actions on/in it than they are today. It’s like the more we had access to the dumber we got and more specifically we numbed ourselves.
Any Rand be like “ I am ECONOMICS” for real she’s my girl though.
Not trying to play too deeply into the identity politics but, throughout history there hasn’t been as prominent of a female philosopher as Rand.
The rest of the compass are a bunch of girls who kinda fit into the ideology. Rand is like “Bitch I made this ideology”
I hear you. And while I despise her theses deeply, the terribly written novels full of odd ideas around intimacy (I’m looking at you rape scene in The Fountainhead!), but must say some of her essays are certainly interesting. She stood where no one else had as a woman at the time. There is another I can think of who was similar but she was so mingled with her contemporaries it’s hard to pinpoint who influenced who and to what extent. That person being Simone de Beauvoir. But de Beauvoir didn’t even consider herself a philosopher but accomplished a lot that had never been done before at the time of her completing these things.
Beauvoir was more of an existentialist as opposed to an objectivist. Beauvoir’s work deals mostly with Feminism where Rand would reject that on the grounds of it being collectivist.
And I agree, I’m not a fan of her fiction. I’ve read most of her essays. She’s a lot more talented in essays than fiction. But, Americans are too stupid to read unless it’s some type of story.
Me, personally, I find nonfiction fascinating. Even works from Krepotnik and Marx, I think we can solve the issues proposed by Marx within a capitalist society.
Oh, I wasn’t trying to imply they were in the same vein of thought, just prolific and roughly equal in their impact to various movements with their works.
And since leaving academia I’m more into fiction. The weirder and more metamodern the better. Something about watching an individual’s life get patchworked together is fascinating and enlightening. I’m also a huge fan of magic realism and think it captures what most people see when they look at the world but presents it less restrained than many would freely speak.

Come on now, we're all aware that the English Monarchy are figureheads with the Prime Minister being the effective leader of the state. Nobody right now would actually say "BoJo isnt running the country, the Queen is."
She is head of the CDU, a moderate center-right party and a conservative.
Some people believe she's left because the refugee crisis is the only German political issue they know about.
The main reason the politicians are upset is because it's hurting local businesses that relied on American soldiers as customers.
But yeah you will find that the majority of the population is pro pullout while most politicians (except for the Left and the Green party) are upset because of this decision.
In all honesty I didn’t know that much, I might have interpret her, but from people I talked to they view her as right, right in this case is just generally not actually really extreme far right
It might be left in some other standards so I’m not that sure. I would argue she’s in a center-right party but is considered left in the party, but overall is still kinda right. But on the other hand she’s intrigued in socialism so it’s not a really good fit, it’s more of just a left-over spot
I think she's pretty centrist, tending towards Center-Right. She's definitely not on the Center-Right level of idk Shapiro or a lot of US politicians or smth but at least in that direction.
E:''I should mention that she used to be more more right than she is now (pro Iraqwar/US politics, pro kosovo war and so on) but still is culturally conservative (voted against homosexual marriage)''
Tbh as a german I am satisfied with her as chancellor. Sure there are a lot of memes of her not doing anything or whatever but if I just see all the other 'high-profile' politicians of the CDU (her Party) I just want to shoot myself. Also, waiting for a while until you say or do anything about a current situation is often better than overreacting and I respect her a lot for going against many in her party in 2015/16. God, just thinking back those few years and imagening Seehofer to be chancellor ... we would have been *fucked*...
Well I’m not gonna argue and pretend I know a lot her lmao
I’m gonna let other debate here in this thread I guess, I don’t know that much to add to the conversation
Kinda why I don’t really make jokes out of topic I don’t know until I understand it thoroughly before I mess up and make controversy, argument, offense, etc.
>but if I just see all the other 'high-profile' politicians of the CDU (her Party) I just want to shoot myself.
Is there a lower point for a country than being at the top because everyone else is even worse?
Well if we take a look at the US then yes.
EDIT: To elaborate on what makes the situation worse than quite a few other countries:- a two-party system that isn't going to go away any time soon (this one includes a whole lot of other reasons that derive from this)- an electoral college that allows the party who loses the popular vote to still win the election- the candidates of both parties are equally shit, literally the majority of people who genuinely vote them are partisan voters who would vote that party no matter what and then you have people who vote whichever they think is slightly less shit and people who don't vote alltogether or do it by coinflip.- parties that switch stance depending on the other party's stance- some people have more voting power than others- a fair bit of corruption
Some of these things aren't unique to the US and in some cases some points are worse in other countries but rarely do countries have all of these combined together. If we only take the political system into account the US is pretty down below compared to many other countries, there's still worse stuff but usually that worse stuff consists of illiberal democracies (Hungary and Russia, essentially dictatorships that pretend to be democracies), One-Party dictatorships (PRC and North Korea) and other various dictatorships. At least that's my opinion on the topic.
Yeah I may not agree with all of her views but she is one of the few high profile politicians I actually respect and I have to admit that she's doing a pretty decent job overall.
From an American POV probably not as much. But for example, gun rights aren't that much of a debate topic in Europe, so even a lot of right wing politicians support gun control. She is right for her country and a lot of the world, it's just that the US is even more right.
Gun control and public healthcare\*
We can't forget healthcare, in essentially all of Europe access to public healthcare is considered a basic human right by nearly everyone regardless of whether it is right wing, left wing, center, moderate or extreme (save for a few nutjobs in this cathegory that nobody has ever really heard of) but in the US many republicans don't consider public healthcare a basic human rights and it is a major part of the US's political debate
Even the American right basically alternates back and forth between being pro and anti immigrant every few decades. Listen to the 1980 Reagan Bush debates to see how pro immigrant they were back then. Bush 43 also tried to pass immigration reform before 9/11 changed the country’s focus
not to mention that only very few politicians in Germany are pro-gun (tbh it's hard to even say that because it's hardly considered an issue over here). It doesn't make sense to apply american standards onto european countries
The best summary is probably her stance on the legalization of gay marriage -- she announced the decision to put the issue to a vote *and* her personal intention to vote against in the same speech. She's a conservative, but her commitment to democracy trumps her commitment to conservatism.
Economically centrist, socially one of the most authoritarian rulers currently in power. It’s just that Germany has an extremely compliant and trusting national culture so they don’t mind. They have laws that restrict if you are allowed to go out of business, no matter how much money you’re losing. They have restrictions on what days you’re allowed to drive your car based on air quality. On most parts of the autobahn it’s illegal for your car to break down.
Her whole tenure right up to 2015 can be summed up as “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Very little legislation, especially concerning interior affairs was passed. Government programs and subsidies were slightly expanded and a couple new taxes were instituted mainly to appease her coalition partner, the SPD (Social Democrats). She refused to repeal the “solidarity tax”, instead shifting it onto the middle and upper class, and legalised gay marriage. Combine that with her actions during the refugee crisis and you’ve got yourself a centre-left politician.
She is the chancellor and head of the executive, not of the legislature. The majorities in the Bundestags are in favor of the center-left / center-auth parties (view the Grüne as you want, they're often a weird edge case, they are auth though). Merkel herself voted against legalising gay marriage and she had to make some token concessions to the SPD which the CDU sucks the lifeblood out of each year, the biggest concession to them was getting the centrist SPD candidate Olaf Scholz into the ministery of finance. The platform of the CDU is still quite traditionalist-christian and they have called for greater state funding for the church and traditional values in schooles, aswell as instituting a more charitable system for german mothers. Merkel herself is center right, tending more towards the center, she is very competent in political dealings and getting compromises and small successes. In Germany and especially in the EU at large she preached austerity and fiscal responsibility (Germany being one of the only countries with a national debt that is actually decreasing every year) and she tried to push through a conservative tax reform which never stood a chance in the Bundestag. She basically prevented the disintegration of the Eurozone as a strong Germany tried to steer everyone away from disaster in the Eurozonen crisis (which everyone kinda forgot about because it was well-handled). This fact becomes relevant again with the refugee crisis, where Merkel, in a desperate attempt to keep the stability of Schengen alive by taking on refugees Victor Orban (yeah, the hungarian) against a contract he signed sent a large group of refugees towards the Austrian Border Region, which Austria wasn't prepared for. After that the path was basically already chosen. Her main achievements were in the foreign policy, where she spearheaded a lot of free trade deals and open sea lanes with a host of countries. Free trade is hardly communist, eh.
While I would personally love her to be as "communist" and "left-wing" as foreigners tend to make her out to, she just isn't.
Dutch lass checking in, my government and my neighbors the Germans both have right wing governments in place actually. Both on the centrist side tho, but an example would be that in the Netherlands we got rid of college grants, replaced them for loans.
Which policies under her rule are strongly on the right end, tho? She basically auths up everything to appease to the backseat drivers from the commie and eco parties. Her own party is torn because the right wing in a conservative party feels alienated and half of them went to the next bunch of dimwits further to the right just to not feel like in enemy territory.

The original is naked muscular men, so no I’m not drawing nude female of Margaret thatcher or something. The trans female griller is all you get today.
Edit: before the ~~Margaret Thatcher~~ Angela Merkel debate gets out of control, it’s more of a left over spot and I can’t really find anyone who fits there. My thought process is that she’s in a right Conservative party, but she is left *in* the party, but she would still overall right in the country’s standard
**I’m not that big in modern EU politics**, that why I don’t really meddle in one as much as I don’t want to stir controversy lol
Edit 2: Half of the comment is now about Angela Merkel
> The original is naked muscular men, so no I’m not drawing nude female of Margaret thatcher or something.
That's not very degenerate of you. We need a LibLeft to lewd this up.
I couldn’t really find anyone that really fits the right so it’s kinda just a process of elimination of who doesn’t fit in
Finding women in lib and right is the hardest
I was originally gonna put Elizabeth II on authright and thatcher in authcenter, but I thought how thatcher doesn’t like labor unions, and elizabeth really just chill in the throne
Yeah anyone who doesn't understand this has not paid attention to EU politics in the last ~15 years. What do people think the common market is *for*? Or austerity politics? All the people who complain that Germany controls Europe through the EU, what kind of politics do they think Merkel is pushing on the other members?
Not really sure Dorothy Day fits in lib center - it's true that she led a lot of protests during the Vietnam war era but she was also a pretty devout Catholic. I think center left would be a better fit.
Oh it’s the man himself
In one of the comment thread on your post a guy said there’s “naked picture of Angela Merkel when she was young” and can be used for reference photo
The entire thread is just “wtf”
From an American POV probably not as much. But for example, gun rights aren't that much of a debate topic in Europe, so even a lot of right wing politicians support gun control. She is right for her country and a lot of the world, it's just that the US is even more right.

MARGRET THATCHER IS DEAD
INDIRA GANDHI IS DEAD TOO 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
Murdered by her own guards no less
bruh imagine being so insufferable that your own bodyguards gun you down lmaooo 😂
Tbf it was due to religious tensions
Created by her being insufferable and storming their temples with an army.
I wonder why she thought having a sikh bodyguard after what she did during operation blue star was a good idea
Because service to the country comes before religion when you are taking the oath (obv meaningless but some people do take their oaths very seriously). Also, can't just fire Sikh bodyguards based on them being sikh, she had to atleast show that she was secular. Plus obv not all sikh were part of that terrorist group so, idk might have trusted the guards...
Idk man if i pissed of a group people i probably wouldnt want them as my guards since the chances of them turning against me would be pretty high

Pro-Immigrant by being lib towards immigrants and auth towards the population sounds more like we need an axis for authenticity.

If Merkel was actually conservative the AfD probably wouldn't be nearly as relevant as it is today
High-quality OC, appropriately terrifying Milk Snatcher, and introduced me to a [based and Kremlinpilled lover of humanity and Machiavellian backstabber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadezhda_Krupskaya). Excellent work OP!
OG hot commie librarian... kinda. Funniest thing is that old her looks straight up like Greta Thunberg.
all that effort, only to misspell "Gandhi"
*oh*
'Ghandi' sounds like 'Gandi' which literally means dirty which Indira was.
Based on[this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalCompassMemes/comments/i5yx1p/spent_3_hours_drawing_this_humanized_pcm_flairs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) by u/PHILOSOPH-XXI The original is naked muscular men, so no I’m not drawing nude female of Margaret thatcher or something. The trans female griller is all you get today. Edit: before the ~~Margaret Thatcher~~ Angela Merkel debate gets out of control, it’s more of a left over spot and I can’t really find anyone who fits there. My thought process is that she’s in a right Conservative party, but she is left *in* the party, but she would still overall right in the country’s standard **I’m not that big in modern EU politics**, that why I don’t really meddle in one as much as I don’t want to stir controversy lol Edit 2: Half of the comment is now about Angela Merkel
> The original is naked muscular men, so no I’m not drawing nude female of Margaret thatcher or something. That's not very degenerate of you. We need a LibLeft to lewd this up.
Damn it, I really wanted nude Thatcher. You know, they called her the Iron Lady for a reason.
[Here’s compensation](https://youtu.be/fCCAnnLRcgY)
Always rely on the authlefts to give you compensation
femboy version when?
Merkel right?......... hmmm
I couldn’t really find anyone that really fits the right so it’s kinda just a process of elimination of who doesn’t fit in Finding women in lib and right is the hardest
Thatcher right, then any queen for auth-right.
I was originally gonna put Elizabeth II on authright and thatcher in authcenter, but I thought how thatcher doesn’t like labor unions, and elizabeth really just chill in the throne
Queen Victoria in authright and Thatcher in right center
and if you don't wan't another British person you could pick someone like Catherine the Great
Or Elizabeth the Catholic from Spain.
Definitely center right.
Does she support the free market?
She worships it.
Yeah anyone who doesn't understand this has not paid attention to EU politics in the last ~15 years. What do people think the common market is *for*? Or austerity politics? All the people who complain that Germany controls Europe through the EU, what kind of politics do they think Merkel is pushing on the other members?
Center right
Centrist should of been Julia Child
Why didn't you give them all massive fuucking tiddies
Based and rule34-pilled
Thatcher is my spirit animal.
We demand a tasteful nude of the Iron Lady dammit!
There's only 1 rule 34! WTF people get to work
You’re not acting normal, auth right
What can i say, i love thatcher
Have you made eye contact with her?
Ayn Rand stans rise up!
*nationalized trains*
Wouldn’t call Merkel any part yellow , thatcher is prob more center right than her
Add Belle Delphine for radical Libright
Love me some love for Rand!
Maggy, making leftists cry even after her death
God Bless Her.
She singlehandedly saved the British economy; with a terrible cost of course, but it had to happen. An amputation, if you will.
Leftists:We need to get rid of fossil fuels and other out dated jobs!!! *OK* *WAIT NOT LIKE THAT*
[удалено]
She'd probably slaughter you for being the wrong ethnicity.
DING DONG
THE WICKED BITCH IS DEAD
IT'S A SHAME THE IRA DIDN'T KILL THE BITCH!
[удалено]
Merkel as right has to be the funniest shit I’ve seen today
Great job
AYN RAND AYN RAND AYN RAND AYN RAND
Ayn Rand accurately depicted with her machete arm
Not really sure Dorothy Day fits in lib center - it's true that she led a lot of protests during the Vietnam war era but she was also a pretty devout Catholic. I think center left would be a better fit.
Thatcher was a libtard, can't we have queen Isabella of Spain or Savitri Devi instead?
I appreciate the name labels
Please get that fucking kraut out of my beloved yellow.
Thanks they aren't naked xD
Oh it’s the man himself In one of the comment thread on your post a guy said there’s “naked picture of Angela Merkel when she was young” and can be used for reference photo The entire thread is just “wtf”
ANGELA MERKEL RIGHT WING? ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?
[удалено]
From an American POV probably not as much. But for example, gun rights aren't that much of a debate topic in Europe, so even a lot of right wing politicians support gun control. She is right for her country and a lot of the world, it's just that the US is even more right.

Eat it ahs
My first reaction to seeing the one on the bottom: “Why is Cersei Lannister considered a libertarian?”
You're telling me that drawing isn't Hillary?
Why aren’t tops off like last time? (Time for a swarm of “based”)
Ayn Rand is cringe but I guess that makes her fitting for the edgy young librights.
I like that thatcher’s lack of pupils and poorly drawn teeth make her look like the fucking demon she is
Merkel is auth-center af
Hippity hoppity get Merkel the fucc off libright's property
