Political cockroach

Someone in politics who is weak yet somehow manages to be really difficult to get rid of. They have no loyalties or convictions and will change sides at the drop of a hat. As soon as the winds of power shift, they suddenly find themselves on the other side. They often leverage their position to parasitically leach off higher powers, usually for massive amounts of money.

Examples throughout history include:
-The Eastern Client Kings of the late Roman republic (Lydia, Thracia, Pontus, Cappadocia, etc.)
-The Boyars of 15th century Wallachia
-Qatar's government

Ariobarzanes III of Cappadocia is such a political cockroach.

Political compass

The political compass is a political defining square, with four quadrants, with a questionnaire to identify you. As the political spectrum was quite unreflective of a lot of factors, they added a y/social axis to the current x/economic axis. A great example of why this is better than the plain old spectrum is France’s National front. It is often dubbed as “the far right party of France”, however, a lot of its economic policies are further left than the socialist party, so, it would give a lot more context to its beliefs. Authoritarianism tends to believe in government control, while libertarianism tends to believe in less government. Economic left tends to believe in spending more money and being open to progression, while conservatism tends to believe in cutting spending, and taking a cautious approach to progression. This has resulted in left wingers believing in equality and conservatism believing in hierarchy.

Where are you on the political compass?

Mythical Politics

Mythical Politics, also refered as Political Mythicalism, Supernatural Politics, Political Supernaturalism or even as Mythicalism and as Supernaturalism, is a political movement and ideology that advocates mythicals (supernaturals) should participate of politics such as create political parties and even create mythical countries. Mythical politics usually advocates socialism, classical communalism and extraphysicism, and focused on counter speciesism and awtokism. But there is also right-wing mythical politics, that advocates neoliberalism, conservatism, bioconservatism, speciesism denial and awtokism denial.

"Mythical politics are going to be part of the politics of 2020's, since no one has thought on mythical politics before 2020's."

"Mythical politics shows that even supernatural and mythical beings can be subdivided into left-wing and right-wing."

politically washed

forcing an political opinion on a topic which doesn't have any discussion about it prior, particularly found on twitter.

another way to identify those who are politically washed is to examine whether they have high amounts of gullibility.

Adam: "This donut tastes incredible."
Jeff: "You sound like you're part of the far-right lmao"
Adam: "God damn, how embarrassing, you're so politically washed that you don't realize my comment has nothing to do with politics".

Politically Inconvenient

These days, anything that approximates THE TRUTH, is fake news, anti-American, anarchistic or delusional.
COVID 19 hasn't miraculously disappeared, testing for COVID 19 doesn't increase case incidence, Hydroxychloroquine and the My Pillow guy do not have a PROVEN cure for COVID 19.
Tens of thousands of Americans have needlessly died from COVID 19 because of conspiracy theory bullshit, Q-fuckingAnon and executive branch indecisiveness and Trump-level corruption that exists right up until this very fucking moment.

So, who ya voting for?
Well, for me, Trump is Politically Inconvenient.
Yeah, me too.
