  26. Horseshoe theory is bullshit. Liberalism is a disease. Liberal is, in fact, an insult used by fascists and leftists alike, for different reasons. Liberals and fascists are both morally corrupt and spiritually bankrupt. But these are just descriptors.

    Fascists insult liberals for weakness, diversity, proceduralism, or insufficient ethnonational purity.

    Leftists insult liberals for collaboration with domination while pretending neutrality.

    Same word, different indictment. The key distinction is function.

    A liberal government may speak of human rights while backing massacres. A fascist movement may discard the human-rights language and embrace domination more openly.

    Different rhetoric, sometimes overlapping material outcomes.

    I won't speak about theory in a vacuum, but let's talk about historical and material conditions and the imperial boomerang across settler-colonial states, imperial powers, and postcolonial formations shaped by empire. Let's start there.

    (In case you think the political spectrum translates cleanly to every corner of the world while global power structures heavily rely on exploitative systems of racial and gender hierarchy and extraction, think again, and this is me being polite)
