An interesting conversation would be where we have been historically because I think in the 50s and 60s were probably closer to the middle then we are today and so the nostalgia is placed incorrectly

Love this explanation. My personal philosophy has been individual responsibility combined with communal support. You've illustrated it perfectly. Our country is so lacking in communal support.

Socialist democracy, that’s where the Nordic countries which tend to be happy seem to lean, although I realize the US doesn’t seem ready for this and we are larger

Should be noted that there’s a difference between the economical and political spectrum. There’s economical; capitalism vs communism and political; democracy vs dictatorship. I.e. the left end 1/2

I love this. I wonder if the argument was framed as this imbalance of wealth is detrimental to our national security if it would gain more traction.

So well said!This is why I lean left, and can’t understand why people vote against their own interests. Way better than I could ever say it 😊

LOVE THIS wow really eye opening. but i’m curious.. finland, denmark, etc. have such smaller populations than the USA- is it realistic to think that a country this huge could implement their structure

I prefer the political compass. Economic scale on x axis social in the y axis

I’d love to see your explanation of how previously extreme “I” or “we” systems moved to Commonwealth without tearing themselves apart, as we (US) seem to be doing.

Great explanation! I’m going to show this to my Grade 9 classes when I teach civics. I’m in Canada—we’re pretty close to the middle, but sadly our Cons trying to pull to the R. 🫤
