Horseshoe theory.
TIL this is actually a thing and I'm not just an idiot speaking out of my ass (this time).
I remember only learning about it recently and being like "oh shit, so that's what's going on"
Cue the people downvoting horseshoe theory for no good reason
The fact that it's stupid is a perfectly good reason to downvote it.
Yes, that is a very good reason to downvote your comment.
It’s better than the alternative, though it does leave me with a second question. If the far left and the far right resemble each other, can they be hybridized to make a kind of antichthon version of the center?
Far Right + Far Left = Far Side?
Gary Larson is political extremist confirmed
I wanna know what we call the opposite of the left and right that are merging. Those two groups are now one - what's the group that goes up against them both?
