Both sides are bad and very close to the same in result. They differ in method and the only thing they both agree on is they can't stand someone who wont endorse one side or the other. I'm not a centrist. I'm a victim of both parties. I want to see them all in jail. The root cause is the type of person who seeks out power. They should never be allowed power. Of course we now have the perfect suck of power hungry trash backed by all the other power hungry trash. They will continue to pit us against each other. Just like these types of cartoon where they insist the centrist are the problem and not the foaming at the mouth zealots on the right and the left. There are at least three sides. The corrupt democrats. The corrupt republicans. Their victims. If you endorse either side is being better or worse you are not a victim.

I asked AI the following question. I thought the response was worth sharing:

"What evidence is there for the merits of horseshoe theory?"

Let me analyze this carefully. The horseshoe theory suggests that the far-left and far-right of the political spectrum are more similar to each other than to the political center.

The main arguments made in favor of horseshoe theory include:

1. Both far-left and far-right movements have historically shown tendencies toward authoritarianism, with examples like Stalin's USSR and Hitler's Germany using similar tactics of state control, propaganda, and suppression of dissent.

2. Some similar rhetorical and organizational patterns appear in both far-left and far-right movements, such as: populist appeals, scapegoating of particular groups, calls for radical system change, and rejection of liberal democratic norms.

3. There are historical cases of individuals and groups moving between far-left and far-right positions, suggesting some underlying commonalities.

However, there are significant critiques of horseshoe theory:

1. It oversimplifies complex political ideologies and movements, forcing them into a rigid geometric metaphor that may not reflect reality.

2. Surface-level similarities in tactics or rhetoric don't necessarily indicate deeper ideological similarities. The fundamental goals and values often remain drastically different.

3. The theory can be used to dismiss radical critiques of existing systems by equating all forms of political extremism, regardless of their specific content.

4. Political scientists generally view it as an oversimplified model that doesn't adequately capture the multidimensional nature of political ideology.

Rather than a strict horseshoe pattern, many political scientists prefer more nuanced models that consider multiple axes of political belief and recognize that authoritarian tendencies can emerge across the political spectrum without necessarily indicating ideological similarity.

What are your thoughts on how political ideologies should be mapped or compared?

With all the demonizing of men in the last 40yrs, you really have your head so far up your ass you can't see the people the "liberals" are actually oppressing, and it's created this toxic and insane male counter culture that is just as insane as your eicxan ideology. You idiots caused this current state.
