@Nachtflug this is not horseshoe though (not that horseshoe theory isn't bullshit anyway), those are both nationalist religious hard right

@ehproque
Yes, youre almost close to it.
The horseshoe theory insists, that left and rightwing extremism in the end are the same while centrists simultaneously want to fight against religious extremism.

This arguing empowers the rightwing religious fascists
and it shows…. 🤷

@Nachtflug @ehproque that’s what I always claim, extreme right and left is same thing. Correct.

@Nachtflug @ehproque
My experience is that centrists tend to get huffy and drift right when pressed about both-sidesing a demographics right to exist. Centerism is a lovely idea that is dependent on (traditionally) the far right not already being at the point of extra judicial killing before they say anything. It feels more like an excuse for complacency.

@Nachtflug They are where they always end up with this bullshit theory: on their way to the 'right' side.

@Nachtflug they lost (centrists), so did globalism, we unfortunately need WWIII to wake up. Turning point is close.

@Nachtflug they are so busy trying to find something, anything at the left that they lost sight of the far right a long time ago 🤔

@Nachtflug They are not opposites. They are both fundamentalist religious fascists.

They are - as this shows - almost identical, just using a different set of words.

@SteveClough you know why it’s called horseshoe? Cause the ends of it are pointing at each other….
Show threadSchroedingers_CatMar 7

@Nachtflug Yes, but it is the idea, AIUI, that they are opposites that are the same. I don't think these are opposites.

Yes, the extreme left and the extreme right in politics are horseshoe differences - they are quite different, but end up with something that is all authoritarian in approach.

What I feel for these is that they are not actually opposites. They are simply the same thing. It is more like the many splits in anarchist movements, because they have a difference of opinion over one matter.

I think there is a difference here. But maybe not. I am not always perfect*.

*In fairness, never. Except by accident.
