    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.
