A place to share your PCMs that you’ve gathered or made over the years! Now with 99% less bigotry! (We still hate Pomeranians on principle)

Here we enjoy jokes related to the Political Compass, a pointless astrological horoscope for political junkies. Libleft best!

Rules:

  1. Auths no auth - if it's suspected that you're not joking about suspending democracy or whatever radical auth thing is being discussed, you'll catch a ban.

  2. No atrocity denial or apologia - just no.

  3. Follow all Lemmy.world rules

Explanation: The bust at center is the Emperor Hadrian, traditionally counted as one of the 'Five Good Emperors'. As the chart shows, you can place his activities as Emperor as quite... varied.

I must note that his favorite teenage sexual partner was not a slave, but a free provincial. Not that it makes any less concerning by modern standards that a 40+ year old man is fucking a 13-17 year old boy (accounts on when they met vary, but tend towards 15-17 and lasted until he died at the age of 19 or 20).
