THE UNIVERSE IS A HORSE
Whats the theory about?
>>69972136
"The horseshoe theory in political science asserts that rather than the far left and the far right being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, they in fact closely resemble one another, much like the ends of a horseshoe."

Pretty true senpai
>>69972013
One of the many left wing concepts invented to deal with the huge cognitive dissonance caused by the real life examples of statism.

that is correct in the sense of mainstream people. but is not true for principled people. Most people (unprincipled) just simply want to reward people they like and punish people they dislike. Which is why you often see democrats and republicans going full retard.
You can see it on other boards every single fucking deay. There's even this image about it that gets posted in every relevant thread.

Where is libertarian on this shit graph
>>69972013
It's a libertarian view of politics.
It only accounts for the 'freedom' axis and is therefore wrong.
Middlebrows who think they can get rid of commies/Nazis by gently embarassing them.
>>69972013
its correct because of how binarizing the left and right are.
the far left and far right end up overlapping in an attempt to become different than the regular left and right.
Horseshoe is a shit politcal theory i always think of politics as spheres that intersect.
>>69972013
Horseshoe theory gets pushed by pretentious mid-range IQ faggot polsci dropouts who think they're better than everybody else because they have a completely inconsistent set of beliefs and equate one side of the political spectrum with the other because they're clearly the same as they both 'believe in stuff'. It's retarded. More like the HorseSHIT theory.
