    If by “far right” and “far left” you mean people that prefer authoritarian forms of government over democracy, then yeah, it’s not all that much different. From my discussions with MAGAs and tankies I’ve concluded they’re the same kind of people, they just quote different talking points.

        People that think the world is flat exist. But what they believe is nonsense and the usually have an agenda of making money from gifting people. Or they’re just idiots that don’t understand how anything works and refuse to learn.

        It’s the same thing for people pushing weirdo ideologies.

        Do you want democracy or do you want to impose your idea of a utopia onto others through authoritarianism?

          Okay I’m not a socialist so I don’t really have a horse in this race, but democracy is a central tenet of socialism. Socialists hate tankies as much as you do, and anarchists probably hate them more.

          What kind of democracy? Liberal democracy or the one where people have a proportional say in the matters that they’re affected by?

        Nah I’m not bound by political “categories” because I’m actually capable of thinking about issues. But sure go on believing the complexities of humanity can all be placed onto some arbitrary one-dimensional line. Come up with as much terminology as you can to make that sound like a smart way to understand the world LOL.

          “I can think about issues” - continues to argue literal horseshoe theory.

          You seem to be incapable of seeing your argument as an exact example of the centrist category.

          You simple bro lol
