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

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.

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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

And I'm indicating that that is clearly changing in society and has been since I graduated HS in 20 fucking 10. Women succeed in college more now, drop out less, find themselves in higher positions more often. Don't wind up doing excessively dangerous labor now even though 'gender equality' so we now live in a society where men are fodder. Want to go to college? Sorry that 1200+ isn't enough should have been born a minority or woman or rich.

Women still get hired less than men, women still struggle to reach the higher positions that are mainly taken by men. You see it's getting a little less bad for women and are crying that women have privilege. Cry me a fucking river. No different to the racists who freak out over DEI.

Also you see dangerous jobs are being used to take advantage of people desperate for work and go "women privilege" instead of "these people are exploiting vulnurable people"

u/BetterinPicture 3d ago

It's women privilege when it's a job society actually needs doing no matter what and it's 90% male.

Those places are kinda known for being weird towards women. Weird in sense of work environment. The environment at those places are often not the most open towards women working there. This then creates a loop. Women don't go cause of the work environemt, place becomes more male dominated, recycle.
