I keep hearing the right use this term, horse shoe theory, what does it mean in a political sense?
>>
In very basic terms, its the idea that left-wing and right-wing extremism shares many similarities.
>>
>>544855966
people on the extreme ends of the political spectrum hold more similar beliefs than moderates do with opposing moderates. So instead of the spectrum being a horizontal line, it is shaped more like a horse shoe where the two ends are closer together than the middle portion
>>
>>544855966
that the far left and the far right have more in common than either do with centrists. also, that it is more likely for someone on the far left to become far right, than it is for either of them to become centrists, or vice-versa. it's 100% true btw.
t. former commie current natsoc
>>
If you torture the interpretation of far left and far right in a pure on paper abstraction and no way consider practical application, both extremes look the same to your typical centrist midwit. One of the worst offenders was Sargon back in the day who had the genius opinion that the alt right should pretend to be far left sjws because "both want segregation, they're basically the same"
>>
>>544857002
In my opinion it really comes down to collectivism and individualism. It doesn't work if you count anarcho-communists and anarcho-capitalists left wing and right wing respectively. But a Marxist-Leninist and a fascist do at least share the same collectivist outlook. Everything from centre left to centre right is basically just liberalism in one form or another so it's all highly degenerate and individualistic.
>>
>>544855966
Far left and far right are both authoritarian despotism with different color pallettes
>>
>>544855966
Retards gonna retard. The more retarded you are the more it doesn't matter your opinion.
>>
More like two sides of the same coin theory

Side 1 be like all world problems are by illegals muts immigrants poor kill them all and problems solved

Side 2 be like all problems are from factory owners rich CEO banks government kill them all and all problems solved
>>
>>544855966
it's a cope
>>
>>544858858
>Side 1 be like all world problems are by illegals muts immigrants poor kill them all and problems solved
but that's not true at all, you retarded troon faggot
>>
>>544855966
It's a conflation on multiple levels at once
>>
>>544855966
It means Jews gonna Jew
>>
its nuspeak. because antiauthoritarianism shouldnt be in your fov.
>>
>>544855966
Horseshoe theory is centrist cope to justify not taking either side and to feel superior to people who have serious convictions. They take superficial similarities between right and left, conflate the two, and say "see, they're exactly the same!"
For example, the authoritarian measures used by fascist and communist governments, or the way both commies (specifically the muslim ones) and the far right both hate kikes.
>>
>>544855966
Horse are not real, Jews made them out of shoe to sabotage German logistics.
>>
>>544859344
Not even superficial, just aesthetic. In reality all systems except those who immediately collapse are always authoritarian, all that changes is whether they reflect your personal values or not, if they do then they are a liberal free regime, if they don't it is literally Nazism.
>>
>>544855966
It's retarded people's attempt to view every political thought on a one dimensional spectrum.
>>
>>544855966
It’s a cope status quo moderates use to pretend that everyone who doesn’t like them is the same. In reality the similarities in extremes are limited to methods required to assault the status quo, and there is no binary that the horseshoe analogy suggests

Hating Jews leads to desire to breed Abby

still hate Ben tho, perhaps even more.
>>
Jews are a horseshoe issue apparently
>>
>>544855966
Horseshoe theory is in fact just an observation of similarities in extremists. Theory should provide an explanation. A true horseshoe theory is thus that some powerful actor is simply sponsoring the extremists to push his agenda and so the similarities can be observed.
>>
>>544855966
Is the hore shoe theory that is you get conservative enough, you'll eventually fuck your sister?
>>
>>544860675
You just know he’s thought about it
>>
>>544855966
kill Ben Shapiro and take his sister as a concubine/sex slave
>>
>>544856860
Centrist detected go learn to read nigga and believe in something presented to you in ethics class
>>
>>544855966
It means youre a useless centrist that cant read for logic of thoughts
>>
>>544855966
>I keep hearing the right use this term, horse shoe theory, what does it mean in a political sense?
it means you should be a good goy and take part in the two party system
>>
>>544855966
Its centrist retarded cope, really it was a self tell that they dont get it at all, amd any discussion to alter or change the way things are right now to improve quality of life deeply angers them
>>
>>544855966
Nazis and commies are 95% the same.
>>
>>544862936
>>544863040
Shut the fuck up streetshitter!
>>
>>544855966
It’s crazy to think about all the hard right wingers driving to their wage slave trade jobs in their lifted pickup trucks with their 2nd amendment products in glove box while listening to Ben Shapiro live stream. Fucking cucks
>>
>>544855966
Kikes mad that everyone hates jews for completely different reasons, regardless of your political ideology. So they accuse you of being a communist/fascist, whatever will offend you the most. Then they lead you by the hand back to the goy-paddock of Centrism.

both far right and far left want segregation, just for different reasons
>>
>>544863699
Literally peaked right here.
>>
>>544855966
Some bullshit theory that resulted form a bunch of confirmation bias.

Most of the people that bring it up do it because both sides in modern times are mostly anti-interventionist and blame Jews a lot.
>>
>>544855966
No, not awful annoying, boring Ben, Abbie though...

>>544864519
Of course! That's why they need the mental gymnastics about who is a Jew through whom, it's just to keep their women away from you. It works on 99% of goyim, they actually believe what they tell them wholesale!! zoz
