Tired old debunked arguments

you can always just point them to previous debunkery

They are relics from the past like Cuba

I have some really interesting ideas to do with the political compass thing

Seems the further left you go, the more you think of the past and the farther right you go the more it thinks of the future, with the center being the present moment.

Make sense?

hm, youd have a hard time illustrating that with facts maybe

Like communism is based on historical determinism

to make a good future you need to look at the present and the past
i can only speak for myself but i'd place myself in the middle and that this is how i think

And the right is future speculation

Like Jesus returning and saving us all lol

I'd like to overlay religious ideology on the political compass as well

can you make that work on paper?

I think so

you have to prove your presuppositions

you think the right doesnt think about the past very much?

Hmm

Maybe inconsiderate about where things will take us

even if that's true, what does proving it accomplish? how does establishing this help further your goals?
it's a lot of work which may not prove valuable

Could help people gain insight

i think it's gross oversimplification also

Well this is just an idea I'm floating around in my head right now

what makes you think this? anecdotal experience?

Well I mostly thinking about religious ideology which the far left and right appear to be keen on

the best way to see if a presupposition is true, is to try to prove it false

Like the left is new-age and the right is orthodox or something

fundamentalist

traditionalist?

Something like that

in family values? everything? economics?

foreign policy?

and if you're a conservative christian marxist

what then

I was doing a lot of research on the biblical origins of utopian socialism in relation to communism

yesh, its way too simplified

Our current pope is communist

links?

He was a Jesuit priest and they teach Liberation theology which was created by the KGB

if you want to say, people on the right think more about the future than the past, what's your Sample Size?

and where would you find enough information to establish that many people's mental habits?

hmm. There's many ways you can define left and right, and most of the times the definition are contradictory.
