Political Compass Bus and Crowd

Text on the meme

Authoritarian Left Right Libertarian

What it means

A four-quadrant political compass is illustrated with simple black-and-white sketches: a lone person in the authoritarian-left quadrant, a bus in the authoritarian-right quadrant, a person holding a pan in the libertarian-left quadrant, and a group of people lying together in the libertarian-right quadrant. The joke comes from assigning absurd visual symbols to different political ideologies, making the chart a surreal political reaction meme.
