to be fair to them: “horseshoe theory” is in itself a bad faith argument designed specifically to derail and disrupt leftist discussions…soooo…why bother with much of an argument?
it IS bunk, it’s pretty obvious that it is bunk, and it takes up a tremendous amount of time and effort to constantly repeat just how bunk it is.
not saying you are wrong, at least in general.
it’s just that this particular topic takes up way more space in online discussions than it has any right to, so i get the frustration - and unwillingness to explain something faaaaairly obvious - of the previous user.
a bad faith argument doesn’t really deserve a proper answer: wasting time on it is exactly the point of bad faith arguments. that’s why they so successful in the first place; they create no-win scenarios. damned if you ignore them, damned if you don’t. that’s why the right constantly comes up with new ones.
Horseshoe theory is utter nonsense and not worth any kind of real consideration.
well you’re entitled to your opinions but you don’t seem to try to argue in good faith your points to favor your reasoning

If it helps, i have a political science degree. No one takes Horseshoe Theory seriously. I’m not arguing because there is nothing to argue.
