        1. I'm not sure how someone reads Robert Moses as irresponsible and a whiner when the reality was that he was intentional and racist and very responsible to a specific agenda that now we see (properly) in a negative light.

        The problem is an attempt to organize people on the assumption that they act logically in line with our values. But there are people who act logically in line with shitty values, deeply involved in shitty communities, and they can have a huge impact and high levels of control.

      It prob is impossible to really divide people into four quadrants the way this implies, but if one was to try, the more accurate way would be to replace "responsible" with a good-to-evil scale and then the bottom right more reasonably maximizes in "the fascist"...

    This also recasts those w/o control as well. Instead of the martyr and the victim it would prob be something that properly notes that good people with a lack of control are a flaw in the system, so instead likely the victim and the bl*ck-p*ller or something like that

      Prob takes it too far tho b/c this is not a particularly useful thought experiment. Even D&D alignment chart is a more useful construct because it rightfully assumes system followers ("lawful") accumulate a specific unique kind of power independent of responsibility or control.
