well things like hating the jews, authoritarian, hating each others races, its really interesting because I’m curious what the driving force is behind it, despite the base ideals being different. There has to be some innate human reaction that causes similar rationality.
Horseshoe theory only holds up if you believe that all of politics is on a 1 dimensional spectrum from left to right. That’s simply not that case. There are anti-authoritarian right wingers and leftists alike, just as there are authoritarian right wingers and leftists alike and everything in between, below, and to the side.
You probably see Stalin and Hitler and say, “See! Both authoritarians!” But, like, yeah… That’s the problem. That’s not even pointing out anything meaningful.
how are the left ever authoritarian, when it has always been right wing governments, USSR, and CCP are not left wing, fidel castro they are more to the right.
I’m confused, what are you hinting at with this comment?
no its interesting because it defines horseshoe theory more clearly. there really is a lot of ideals both extreme sides share.
Explain more, I’m still confused.

It really is though, it points out let’s not do that again.
Right, but that’s already a given. What about anti-authoritarian leftists?
Still really confused, you’re gonna have to explain more about your personal views.

I dunno, ask the guy with the 1985 Mustang.
can’t help you there, sorry.
Thats a shame you can’t express your personal beliefs more.
