And, in case anyone doesn't already know, the left-right model of politics and all its variants (political compass, horseshoe, etc.) are not useful models for analysing politics.

    No kidding. The left-right compass assumes the right are conservative.

    Centre is conservative. Moving in neither direction. Right has demonstrably proved itself to be in fact, regressive.

    Of course, noone wants to actually change the general incorrect assumption, like always.

    I've given up putting myself on the spectrum. I know what I believe in, and not everything seems to align neatly with the progressive majority. Standardised categories are useless bunk in the end.
