    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?

        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?
