the axes mean people are good and ends justify means.
since I am in a clique with Ace of spades and chrissyrun I doubt it a right left split.
the y axes may be pragmatic-idealistic x axes misanthrope-philanthrope
I have not tested the two apparent clusters for significance.
but it sure is purdy

PLEASE tell me you meant purdy?

In fact I am dubious as to whether this is in any way relatable to po,litical stance.

It is rather nice, though I suspect a larger sample would just muddle it.

Statisticians, remind me what it means when a larger sample makes for less clear conclusions?

That happened with somebody's big lexicostatistical study - the larger sample did not match their expectations so they discarded it.
