>TIL the spectrum of issues involved in the sociopolitical systems that govern our species neatly fit onto a two-dimensional grid! No you're right, it makes much more sense to collapse sociopolitical systems into ~2-8 points (aka "political parties") instead of a grid which represents an arbitrary number of points! You have no problem with politicians identifying all their beliefs as part of the "Green Party" or "Pirate Party" or "Communist Party" or "Labour Party" but you do if someone claims to be socially conservative and economically liberal?
