This is pretty darn accurate, I share the same space as Reddit but very very rarely agree with them.

The issue is that political compass doesn't tell the whole story. I find more often than not that the reason for a belief is far more indicative of an ideology than these coordinates. Unlike left vs right, authoritarian vs libertarian don't necessarily differ in morals, just methods.

Some examples:

Both an authoritarian and a libertarian may agree that abortion is immoral. The authoritarian believes it is the duty of the state to dictate this morality, and the libertarian believes it is the duty of the individual. To someone opposing this belief, there is no difference. If one were to say on Reddit, "abortion is immoral", Reddit will read "I believe exactly as you do not, and therefor have every belief you do not". Which creates the illusion of the hive-mind that is referenced.

Another good example from the other side is shared wealth and shared burdens. An authoritarian believes it is the state's duty to dictate what wealth is to be shared and how it is to be shared, but the libertarian believes it is a moral obligation to disperse wealth. Someone on Voat would see "You believe there should be no private property and therefor are for everything I am against." The difference is that Voat's method of censorship is negative user... review.
