Line 497:
* Libertarians insist they do not fall under the traditional "right vs. left" scale or, if they do, it's secondary to their primary philosophy. The introduction of a libertarian vs. authoritarian axis has generally been accepted among those that try to quantify political views.
* Extremist groups can have an interesting variation of this. What is striking is not so much that the morality is ''alien'' but rather that it is off center. A typical thing might be to praise heroism, loyalty and other things that everyone (including their enemies) would praise but it will come out in a weird sort of way, so that their ability to commit atrocities "proves" their devotion. For instance both Himmler and Raoul Wallenberg would certainly have approved of being self-sacrificing and loyal to a cause. And both would have had [[Understatement|somewhat differing ideas]] as to what that meant.
* The USA might be considered/stereotyped as the "leader of the 'West'/free world" to those outside that bloc/grouping, but there are times when it being a "[[wikipedia:New World|New World]]" to those across the pond seems literal rather than merely a figure of speech. Just go to some form of social media or question-and-answer site like Quora and see how long it takes to find a question or post from a non-American expressing inability to understand some aspect of American culture. Common targets include the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment and lack of universal healthcare. Many a response will demonstrate the inability to understand in the opposite direction.
