USENET Politics Code

The Stross Code is a code used on soc.history.what-if to identify the user’s political alignment. It is named after author Charlie Stross.

Though the code has been ostensibly posted to soc.history.what-if, it is difficult to find usage of this code due to Google Groups marking that group as “Banned Content”: “soc.history.what-if has been identified as containing spam, malware, or other malicious content.”
