Chrome, Edge Favourite Manga Wizard's Soul ~Holy War of Love~	What is your opinion on the horseshoe theory? In my case I've grown to rather dislike it as a way to avoid painting blame on certain groups saying "both sides are bad" and saying nothing. It also feels rather simplifying in general as it both ignores how states could go more or less authoritarian while still being on the extreme right/left. The only real thing I feel the far right and far left share in particular is an opposition to the status quo, but often for entirely different reasons. It ultimately only seems to apply to the Nazis and Soviets, rather than an actual divide between the left and right. It overall simply looks like an oversimplification to me.

Favourite Manga dat boi	Of course it's an oversimplification. Both sides are bad, but they are bad in vastly different ways. If you're wanting to take a simple approach, however, it could work in dismissing both as authoritarian. Because they are. But yeah, it's worthless outside of simple terms.
