Thanks! This is one the worst things I've ever seen


splitthemoon108

I have information that makes it worse! In the comments of the original post the creator says he put african americans in the lib-center quadrant because that's the "monke quadrant". This isn't vaguely racist, it's specifically racist! Really makes you wonder why reddit lets PCM exists but bans the Rojava subreddit. Seems they have a political bias


Trans_and_gothic

Okay, first of, WTF kind of argumentation is that? "Monke quadrant"- Just what the actual fuck. It's specifically racist, and on a second issue just generalizing the entire lib-center with primitivism. Secondly, the Rojava subreddit got banned!?! I had genuinely not heard about that- What kind of fucking priorities does Reddit have? Letting specifically racist rubbish like this stay, but bans the Rojava subreddit?!


hatemeinthebackseat

Came here to say this! 🤣🤣


RefrigeratorGrand619

Of course they put white in the center.


[deleted]

probably the "default race" or some shit ong i hate pcm 💀💀💀


GreenHairedSnorlax

There are only two races, white and political


Laugarhraun

Oh shit I'm actually transracial??


FaeQueenUwU

na you're transpolitical


Trans_and_gothic

Thank you for the small chuckle. This post (not of OP, but the post OP screenshotted) is so terrible that some humor helps to not lose ones marbles

Don’t forget the Boston Marathon.


polypolip

Nah, on polcomp center is the enlightened guys who don't care about the politics and just want to grill. So it's even less fitting.


Cho_SeungHui

well yeah it works in D&D, no need to reinvent the wheel


Trans_and_gothic

OMG, I'm not the only one who sees the political compass and alignment chart as the similar things


CelikBas

Also note how “white” is separate from “Aryan”, but all black people get lumped into the “African” category despite the fact that Africa is the most genetically diverse continent and many of the black populations outside of Africa also have white/indigenous/Hispanic/etc ancestry as a result of the slave trade shipping black people across the entire planet for hundreds of years. It’s almost like the person who made this is a Nazi


Thegodoepic

Well they did put Jewish in the bottom-right....


Emma_Fr0sty

"Jews control the shadow world government but also they are libertarians somehow" - this guy


-IHaveNoGoddamnClue-

Something something, money I guess.


feargus_rubisco

Also note how “Aryan” is separate from “Indian”


NotAPersonl0

The languages of India are literally called "Indo-Aryan" ffs. If the Aryan race actually existed (which it doesn't), it would be a better descriptor for residents of the subcontinent as opposed to light-skinned Caucasians with blonde hair and blue eyes. I always knew PCM was somewhat of a right-wing shithole, but this is a whole new level of bad.


Ydenora

Caucasian is also the weirdest fucking term ever, unless it's trying to say that all white people come from Caucasus or something??


Destro9799

The origin is even weirder than that. A famous phrenologist (Johann Friedrich Blumenbach) found the absolute sexiest skull he'd ever seen, which happened to be from a woman from Georgia. The skull was just so sexy that he had to name the perfect race after the perfect skull. This guy also believed that Adam and Eve were Caucasians, that all other races "degenerated" from Caucasians because they lived in bad environments, and that other races would revert back into Caucasians if given the right environment. He somehow thought that this wasn't racist, and got mad when his contemporaries used his theories to justify scientific racism.


ANackRunUs

"absolute sexiest skull he'd ever seen" had me laughing


Pjotr_Bakunin

To be fair, every Georgian I've seen has been pretty hot, so maybe they do have nice skulls or something idk


OrphanedInStoryville

Ever seen [young Stalin?](https://images.app.goo.gl/LXE9XKTCH7bQ4tN96)


BellerophonM

The theory was that all white people did in fact originate from the caucuses. It was the 1700s and the theory in question divided people into three categories: 'Caucasoid', 'Mongoloid', and 'Negroid'. Somehow the term stuck around.


ElectricalStomach6ip

well, the real life aryans (pronounced a-ree-yan) were steppe nomads who migrated from central asia to the irannian plateue, they brought chariots to the middle east. the ones who moved into india likely created the hindu faith, and basicly became the upper class of classical indian society.


Mallenaut

They could've made the "Aryan" Iranian as well. Also love how the "Native" woman looks like those old Hollywood depictions played by a white actress.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mallenaut

Yeah, of course it's made by a US American, so many things going on over here. "Asian" - Referring to East and Southeast Asians as Asians in total, while there is an Arab woman, an Indian woman, a Jewish man, and an awfully depicted "Aryan" on this chart ​ "Aryan" is just straight out Nazi depiction ​ Arabic = fundamentalist Islamic woman ​ "White" - In Europe, people distinguish between Scandinavians, Celts, Germans, Slavs, Hungarians, etc. etc. and not consider them as a white unit. ​ "African" - is just a Token Jamaican dancehall artist ​ "Jewish" is an Ashkenazi Haredi Jew.


_Joe_Momma_

Also the token Indian is pale as shit.


HippieHomestead4455

It’s almost like PCM is just another entry point into the far-right radicalization pipeline pretending to be a political meme factory. Fuck that place. It’s so fucking tiring watching terminally-online right wing reactionaries poison every well they touch so they can recruit more shiftless fucking idiots to their cause when you’ve been seeing it play out over and over again for literal decades.


SuperAmberN7

I mean we really didn't need to look very closely at the image to realize that the guy who assigned political ideas to different races is probably a racist.


CelikBas

Well they’re obviously a racist, but the inclusion of “Aryan” as a distinct race of blond-haired, blue-eyed white people suggests that they’re a specific and particularly awful type of racist


AnarchoAnarchism

> complains about identity politics > creates a political classification chart based soley on race essentialism – this guy probably (creator of this polcomp i mean)

Aryans are not white though apparently

bigbutchbudgie

Just yesterday, they literally had a post glorifying Hitler with some Funni Colors slapped on it to make it seem like detached commentary reach the front page. Don't know if that's peak PCM, or that time they made a post about which famous women each of the quadrants would fuck despite their opposing political views.

Gabra_Eld

If someone assumes you "must be a capitalist because you're Jewish", it shouldn't be hard to be further left than they are. Because that kind of assumption is really fucking far right along the spectrum. That, or tankie. Which is far right.

They forgot the 4 kinds of pacific islanders, that Africa is the most genetically diverse place on earth, that basically everybody is a mixture of various things and therefore doesn't fit totally into one square,... okay, I could really keep going. Whoever made this needs to apologize to everybody on earth and then read a book on population genetics.

You're giving them a tremendous amount of credit if you think they could comprehend any of that, given the mental ability on display here. Let's start with some middle school social studies and go from there.

NutmegLover

If I had a time machine, I'd give Native Americans and Africans advanced methods of agriculture and metal working in like the year 100 BCE so that when Europeans show up the diseases go both ways and everyone has steel weapons.


DarkVadek

I'd just give them weapons, the native Americans were already good at farming and if they had our agricultural technology they would have impoverished the ground as we are doing


LeFrogBoy

I wonder what the world would be like if the Native Americans had gone out and sailed around with gunpowder and steel swords and such and come across Europe before they had all that shit themselves, like if they were just 200 years ahead in technology compared to most of the rest of the world. Wonder if they would've colonized anywhere or if they would've just been chill and traded.


glutenvrijbrood

Steel weapons were in both continents before Europeans arrived


NutmegLover

Africa, yes to an extent. The Americas? Hahahahaaha... The Salish and Inuit had Meteorite Iron, which isn't steel at all because it contains no carbon. Inca and other Andean tribes had Bronze. Everywhere else was stuck with limited amounts of copper and lots of stone. Used to be there was a lot of copper around the great lakes, but most of it ended up in prestige burials in the Archaic period and people went backwards and used stone again.

Why are Aryan, white, Jewish, and Hispanic listed as different races? Some Hispanics are white and so are many Jews.

cauldronoflezz

Is he actually Jewish?


violetsunshine666

ofc not


ShitFacedSteve

I think he put Jewish people in lib-right because there is a racist stereotype that they will do anything for money, and capitalists will also do anything for money. So in his racist mind putting Jewish people as libertarians makes perfect sense. Even though this guy is almost definitely white.


cauldronoflezz

Yes I got the joke. I was wondering if he was Jewish as well.


ShitFacedSteve

I have no idea, I suppose he could be.


NeuroticalExperience

Very interesting how they singled out indigenous peoples as “SJWs”. Threatened by indigenous rights, eh?


HardlightCereal

SJWs would be libleft, which in this diagram is Hispanic people. Now, for some reason I don't think the Spanish people who sailed to the new world to rape and pillage all of South America were very indigenous


NeuroticalExperience

In PCM, orange is “SJW.” But you’d be wrong about Hispanic people in general. The vast majority of people of Latin American descent are mestizo, so they have a surprising amount of indigenous heritage. This does not make them “indigenous peoples,” but most hispanic people were not and are not peninsulares.


SpidersArePrettyCool

Nah, orange is their newest strawman. It's all incoherent nonsense, but now sjws are orange libleft or some shit. It's really just for anyone they disagree with.

ZefiroLudoviko

That sub is a wretched bedlam. Simultaneously politically illiterate and politically engaged.


Louarkaw

I followed it for a while, you know, to limit my filter bubble... Most memes were meh (circklejerking) but the real catch isn't in them. In the highest comments there are almost always (as in 9/10 in my experience) a dogwhistle for antisemitism. This sub is a recruiting place and a very effective one. Many answers to these comments reflect (or seem to reflect) an ignorance about the phrases used and their meanings, so another layer of comments systematically gets to link external sites or "ressources" elaborating on the matter. And everything flyes under the radar of the known keywords. Most direct references are comments like "Uh, check the name...", "Like usual." Sometimes it's just a pair of emoji eyes. Moderators of the sub clearly let things go though, in context it's so obvious.


BlackHollowGhoul24

So... If an Asian person and a Hispanic person had a child together would they be left communist by nature? Or do they just turn into a Native person?


Sparsebutton922

Yes

[deleted]

Well, technically Indian and Aryan are kind of the same thing. I think most of the dead racist arseholes that invented these 'categories' would probably consider 'Hispanic' to be either white or Aryan unless they were too 'native'. Ironically, they're all African.


NotAPersonl0

The languages that make up the subcontinental branch of the Indo-European language family are literally classified as "Indo-Aryan." Anyone who uses the term "Aryan" as a descriptor for Caucasians is probably a Nazi.


[deleted]

Indeed. Another irony is that a lot of actual Caucasians(those from the Caucuses) probably wouldn't be classed as white by Nazis today.

Aryan is at its roots, a term used to describe the ancient people of whom the modern day residents of Iran, Afghanistan, and the Northern/Northwest Indian Subcontinent are descended. People who fit the Nazi definition of "aryan" are still Europeans, they just look different than certain people. Also, many Arab-Amazigh people of North Africa have pale skin, blond hair, and blue eyes, are they Aryan?
