Is bullshit. Fishhook theory, on the other hand…

Don’t forget the tankies

We need a combo version of the far right dangling over the centrists and the tankies shooting off towards the right

There are also two centers. One is a balanced society between left and right and the other is a capitalistic hellhole where left and right are fighting to shape a good future while everybody is exploited in the present.

I feel like the fishhook theory only works so well because a lot of centrists* fear losing what little they have, and are easily coerced into thinking that socialism means you will have to give up your wealth.

When reality is, socialism means EVERYONE benefits, except for the multimillionnaires and billionnaire oligarchs. The chance of you being one, or even becoming one, is smaller than you dying from a shower accident because of a lack of regulations.

* And by that I mean actual centrists, not the far-right people who claim to be centrists, because they love moving goalposts into the realm of harm.
