[quote=@mdk] Meh. Meh. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=derHRFGZ4NU]There's some truth to it,[/url] but mostly based on ignorance. Horseshoe is an illusion caused by general ignorance. Yes, people appear similar despite the "spectrum" or whatever, but actually their views are fundamentally different. The four-way axis is a lot more accurate. A six-way axis would be more accurate than that, and a 5-d hypersphere would be more accurate than that. Simplifying the utter complexity of ALL POLITICAL THOUGHT into A vs B is great classroom fodder, but it's bullshit. [/quote] Once again, I think this is true except for the economy in general. Yes, as you say it is an oversimplification but you can't go down to every detail, for now that's just impossible. So, once again I reiterate the [all but factual] theory that economic right and left become extremely similar at the extremes.
