In my view, horseshoe theory is pretty accurate
For example, people in the middle recognise that Ukraine was the victim of an invasion, but people on the far-right and far-left both insist that Russia is the real victim for some reason
Maybe it's because both the far-right and far-left envy the state power that Putin has?
i think politics is more nuanced than can be described by a single dimension, curving it so you can tell yourself that "rational" is in the middle and that "crazy" lives at the ends is some Dunning Kreuger shit.
You're putting things in quotes that I didn't say, which is REAL Dunning-Kruger shit.
The point is that horseshoe theory is uninformed child logic. If you want to find pearls to clutch and take it personally that's on you.
