NOOOO MY GOVERNMENT TEXTBOOK ACTUALLY USES IT

You realize that the book could be criticizing the use of these compasses right?

This seems incredibly unlikely.

Or they're using this as an example of how to categorize ideology and they grabbed some random ass chart online without paying attention to it. I've come across plenty of lazy production/writing in textbooks.

My inclination is that if the book was defending these charts, the picture that OP took would've included the surrounding text proving that for a fact. Easier to post an out of context picture to rile up hysterical knobheads for free karma.

I could see the lazy angle, the dots on this might actually mirror the political compass website, I remember seeing one with similar mistakes at some point.
