Die gemeinsame Links-Rechts-Skala verschleiert die Anti-Establishment-Ansichten in der Mitte. Der Mittelpunkt der gemeinsamen Skala des politischen Spektrums von links nach rechts verbirgt ein überraschend großes Maß an politischer Vielfalt, bei der möglicherweise wirklich gemäßigte Personen mit solchen vermischt werden, die populistische und gegen das Establishment gerichtete Ansichten vertreten.

From the linked article:
**Common left-right political scale masks anti-establishment views at the center**
A new study published in Political Psychology suggests that **the midpoint of the common left-right political spectrum scale hides a surprising amount of political diversity, potentially mixing genuinely moderate individuals with those holding populist and anti-establishment views**. This finding indicates that relying solely on this single measure may obscure important nuances in public opinion, particularly regarding attitudes toward the political system and various social issues.
Right vs left is just aristocracy vs peasants, same as it always was.
Never quite sure where counts as the ‚centre‘ these days. My own view – that all ‚democratic‘ politics is empty while propaganda (from both sides and from capitalists) is given free rein, meaning that voters do not have the basis on which to decide how to vote – isn’t quite on the spectrum.
