Besides being a fucking ugly graph where you can barely read the node labels, I also like that this one pretty much admits democrats are clustered along the other reactionaries.
They also don't describe how they even got that clustering (or the network itself) in the first place. I think it's safe to assume they either nicked it from the web or got an inexperienced intern to just do whatever with a Jupyter notebook.
Is it a network of "common posters"? Of links in sidebar? In cross-posts?
Data science is what happens when "programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers" is taken to its most extreme. This field needs a purge, for the sake of all actual statisticians.
Science is when you never show your methodology, because it came to you in
a dreama linear regression.Edit: why the heck is Anarcho_Capitalism plotted between Feminism, feminisms and Radical_Feminism?
when “programmers think they are experts in everything that deals with computers”
The thing is, they usually aren't even experts in that. Your typical programmer seems to have no idea how computers actually work, and thinks they're magical self-sufficient machines that will someday be able to run entire economies with no actual production happening.
Can confirm, I'm a programmer and all we do is pray to the machine spirit and hopefully our next
human sacrificeintern will please it.As a programmer, this is clearly dark magic:
Not only is it impossible to read the node labels, it's even more impossible to tell what is connected to what. At some point you are better off not showing the connections at all. Did an AI visualize this graph?
Half wonder if it would be clearer to show what isn't connected
They put "anarcho"-capitalism, the meme ideology that has the most incel energy, right next to all the different kinds of feminism. Also, "anarcho"-capitalism os closer to radical feminism than it is to objectivism, the pseudophilosophical drivel that is essentially boils down to being a flavour of "an"caps that are more open about their hatred for the poor. How can anyone take this seriously?
