I assumed it was to sarcastically “twist” there idols. Kind of like the “Jesus being a dick” memes.

I think I kind of understand the term, but what does “hallucinations” in this context refer to? It seems like it might be fabricated unformation?

I think the video is an interesting thought experiment, but I don’t know that is holds weight within the scale of the political spectrum. I think while a more progressive viewpoint of the world is by using a 2D map of economical and political leanings, that isn’t really the case in real life. People will usually vote along a 1D political line, wherein the entire point of the video falls apart. The choice isn’t between 4 quadrants, the choice usually is how left or right something is in a linear scale. On a linear scale, you can’t really gamify the policy to work like they describe in the video.
