No, horseshoe theory is just a weak attempt to explain why a single-axis chart fails so hard at describing different political positions. Even the two-axis political compass is an oversimplification.
I mean, horseshoe theory points out that ultimately two different ideologies can have different end goals but their end results will be the same. i.e. the evangelical right and the far left trying to ban sex in media. I know a bunch of you in this sub are against porn and "degeneracy" but I'm trying to make a point.
I think the op you all are downvoting is pointing out that the article writer has ZERO awareness of the political landscape around him that he isn't even aware of his own hypocrisy.
I think the people getting pissy at OP for not using the right terms for what we're dealing with have to realize this is how you START you de-brainwash someone from leftist idpol shit even if both the faggot article writer and the commie politician they're talking about doesn't get it. If someone with a brain reads this article and goes "wait, aren't they doing the same thing that they claim the other side is doing?" and look it up and find "horseshoe theory", then sometimes it gets people's noggin joggin to explore further.
In other words, I still think we need to keep it as a "gatekeeper" term because it is the first step in getting people to stop thinking like a leftist idpol retard.
The awareness of the endpoint - similarities of the "far (x) ideologies" is how you deprogram someone from the retardation, even if it's not 100% accurate to what ethno-nats believe and may offend you that it's an overused term.
horseshoe theory is real.

Horseshoe theory is deliberate propaganda aimed at confusing normies and blaming crimes leftists commit on the "far right".
