Ironic that you’re using the comic about using bad faith debates in order to shut down this thread complaining about bad faith debates on ML.
Ever heard of horseshoe theory?
That repeatedly disproven line of horseshit? Yeah I've heard of it. Wasn't impressed.
Yep.
Have you heard of the fish hook theory?
Horseshoe theory is debunked nonsense, using it like a trump card in an argument is hilarious.
Read Blackshirts and Reds, by the way.
I recently saw a video on it, saying that it's true, but in tge context of US politics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWy8EEqXbBg
As an outsider looking at America, the vid makes sense. I saw some comments on the net say that RW Trump was the first US president to go to Nk and meet Kim rather than some LW one. I don't know whether the meetings were useful tho
US politics has no left. It only exists as very small groups that, when they start having influence, get shut down by the feds. That video is super slow so I only watched 15 minutes but I would guess they are referring to a rejection of liberalism emerging from degrading material conditions being the main force of peeling off a left and right, and thus there us a similarity. Is that about right?
