trying a screenshot framework! 

how I'd (generously) define the two sides of the idealogical split I see playing out today in America.

What do you think? What did I miss / what would you change?

i recognized it by its overly positive and politically correct framing and exclusion of unpleasant controversial realities like: cancel culture for woke mobs and stuck-with-past mentality(lack of imagination) for right-wingers.

GPT responses lacks substance for anything political in nature, it is so neutered.

yeah! I had it come up with a much longer list of ideas, and then I picked the ones I liked most and wrote them in my own words.

I tried very hard to give the charitable version of each 😅

but yes another section for each would be a good idea

Yes, those definitions are charitable to both sides and don’t portray the toxic aspects of either viewpoint when magnified to its extremes (which is usually what’s problematic in the public discourse).

Maybe this needs two more columns — one on either side — to show the caricatural positions.

by these definitions i am both a disciple in the church of the based, and a monk in the temple of the woke

very well then, i contain multitudes

I would say being based doesn’t automatically mean you respect history and cultural norms as anchors—if the history and norms are whack, a based person says “fuck off.” to the whack.

Church of based : 1 & 4 are a bit contradictory no? Where do they get their ‘tangible facts’ from if not institutions or experts who are authority’s in their topic? 
Could these two lists be not so much left / right but just two out of many ideologies currently existing?

Complementing this with demographics could be interesting
