Centrism is not a fixed ideology, it is just the current status quo. Sadly, the graphics are dogshit because they don’t explain what the y-axis means. Is that a value per country or should it be comparable? What is zero? A little bit of racism but worker rights?

I was more getting at the headline but yeah that’s a larger problem with “left right” analysis in that is both a shifting target (example: in the 1900s eugenics was ‘progressive’ ) and its a fuzzy target where both sides might have similar policy stances in places but arrive there by very different paths (example: opposition to Israel).
Yeah the non korea charts appear to show young men being more centrist (+0) and women being more left.

I’ve never heard of eugenics being described as left wing. Could you elaborate?
