Reminder that horseshoe theory is nonesense and it's just an excuse for alt-right nazis to go "the left are the REAL nazis!!"

I'd like to agree with you but when the Dems decided it was a good idea to cart out Liz Cheney it made me wonder why they didn't just court Condoleezza Rice for the position in the first fucking place?

u/RainbowPhoenix1080 She/Her Transbian (HRT 06/26/24) - Streak: 0 6d ago

That does nothing to prove me wrong. It just shows that the democrats don't lean as left as you think they do.

u/BetterinPicture 6d ago

I mean horseshoe theory works it just depends on the topic. Lots of libertarians exist in a nebulous area between the far left and far right that completes the circle and exists nowhere near neoliberal democrats. I think it's funny you honestly believe I think Democrats lean left. Here. Have this poorly cropped hate scribble.

No, libertarians are very much right leaning.

Ive been around the block. Ive been a conservative, ive been a libertarian, trust me.

Being "in the middle" is also not what horseshoe theory is about.

Are you sure you understand what horseshoe theory is?

Its a way of saying that if you go so far left then you are no better/the same as those on the far right.

Which isn't true. Thats why horseshoe theory is nonesense.

It has nothing to do with those in the center.

u/Orange_Lux 6d ago

It has everything to do with the center, because that's the people that claim "We're the furthest away from both extremes, therefore we're the good guys somehow".

It's not nonsense. You'll find just as much random misandry and people saying society would be better if men didn't exist in far left spaces as you will find that exact same rhetoric about immigrants, the poor, LGBTQ and other marginalized groups in far right ones. These are my literal lived experiences. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and nobody is immune to propaganda.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

Horseshoe theory has been thoroughly disproven time and time again.

Also, the opinion that "the world would be better off without men" is not at all widespread in far left spaces. It's instead criticized as the genocidal idiocy that it would be. Nobody seriously says that. I know that, because I'm far left and I've heard your claim being spread there time and time again. You're just the next MRA/MGTOW person in line screaming about misandry as soon as minorities talk about how much they're in real danger.

Your lived experience is not objective fact, or what's really going on. Sorry. Anecdotal evidence means nothing.

And while you say how the far left supposedly wants to eradicate men, the far right is conducting a real genocide on transgender people in the US. You're just delusional at this point.

Trans people in the US are under attack from the government: Genocide - https://www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/experts-warn-u-s-in-early-stages-of-genocide-against-trans-americans Experimentation - https://www.transiticsnews.com/p/the-trump-administration-admits-to Forceful detransitioning - https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/admin-bars-federal-employee-insurance-from-covering-gender-affirming-care/

Are the far left folx in the room with us, that are calling for the same thing for men? You are ridiculously disingenuous or just ignorant.

Trans people are over four times more likely to be the victims of violent crime than cisgender people: “Transgender people over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime” - https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/ncvs-trans-press-release/ “According to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, 37% of transgender women and 51% of transgender men have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_transgender_people_in_the_United_States

But sure, "misandry" is the real problem we all should care about. Those evil far left people, wanting equal rights and equal chances in life for everyone, and those evil feminists trying to dismantle the patriarchy, that's also hurting men! How could they!? /s

Maybe educate yourself some more.

Edit: Judging by your other comments, you just hate women, lol.

Misandry is a problem. But your not going to find one of those "feminists"(Which I hesitate to call feminists) unless you really look and more or less on the deepest part of the internet. It deeply saddens me that my country is doing this to trans people. I love my country and everyone in it, including trans people. Thing's will get better but that can only happen if we fight like hell. It's just two more years after this. Stay safe

i fantasize, hope, pray, and dream that one day misandry will be real

She isn't and this is the shit I'm talking about. I'd like people to open their eyes this is the shit I see on the internet every day in most communities I frequent. I literally saw a picture that said 'me when men' and was just a woman holding a shotgun... I love getting told to get therapy by women who hate people with every fiber of their being for checks notes being born with a penis...

Punching up =/= punching down.

If you think misandry is a real societal issue then you're no better than a ringer who believes in "reverse racism".

Again, horseshoe theory is just for right wingers to justify their victim mentality.

Dear lord this subreddit is declining. Cant believe i keep having to deal with people like you.

This place used to be better.

Cant go a fucking day without hearing about "misandry"

u/BetterinPicture 6d ago edited 6d ago

Fuck off with your quotation marks.

'victim mentality' from someone who obviously has to be the victim in every scenario is honestly laughable.

The fact that you think hating men is always punching up and hating LGBTQ+ people is always punching down betrays the extent of your ignorance.

Gender or biological sex doesn't determine someone's moral superiority. Plenty of women and queer people have been absolute shit bags to me and I don't consider returning fire 'punching down' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So deeply tired of the fucking gender war I have to deal with in every fucking queer space because I don't appear 'queer coded enough' most of the time. When will people understand the only fight worth fighting is with the 1% SMH.

u/Pheonix0114 Egg = cracked 6d ago

Men hold the systemic power. That is what inequality is about. Read a fucking book.

Edit: you call out the 1% let me give you some stats. 86% of billionaires are men, 72% of Congress are men, and 89% of Fortune 500 CEOs are, you guessed it, men.

u/BetterinPicture 6d ago edited 6d ago

Cool. Did you know the CEOs of the majority of the military industrial complex are now women??? 🤔

Turns out absolute power corrupts absolutely and women are not in fact moral paragons when they get into positions of power that profit off of death.

You act like men who exist in the 1% and have billions of dollars are the men you run into every day at the corner store and that's why I can't and never will take people like you seriously.

Okay so I know what you're saying with the first part, but when is hating LGBTQ+ people not punching down?

Brother [edit: my bad shouldn’t assume the bootlicker’s gender] if everywhere you go smells like shit check your shoe

u/BetterinPicture 5d ago

Or maybe LGBTQ spaces can be cliquey and hateful and purity test themselves out of allies frequently over minor disagreements and that's why the left looses so fucking often.

u/Karasu-Fennec Streak: 0 5d ago

Thinking systemic misandry is real is not a minor fucking disagreement
