I'd argue it's not that horseshoe works in rhetoric but voting patterns. Both "extremes" of "the horseshoe" end up being moralistic and favor dismantling the system.
They may say oppression is bad from the far-left but at the same time when voting that oppression might just mean globally to them and not to the domestic matters.
The blame can be shared and probably where the horseshoe fails.
Far left is mostly also authoritarian. They say they want everyone to have the same rights but get angry or try to silence people that don't agree with their radical ways. I'm not talking about the left in general but the far left. As such they see it needed to achieve their goals, even if it official is equality for example.
Edit: Removed "Tankies definitely are authoritarian." They are kinda a weird case where they believe or say they believe in Marxist Leninist ideology but then support countries that dress as communist even if they are ruled by a small elite or are actually mostly capitalist. I believe they are kinda gullible far left with mostly a "US bad" sentiment so China and Russia must be good. They are not solely representative of far left authoritarianism
USAmericans have successfully identified the middleground as a target because the idea of getting along is so foreign to them.
The idea that there exists such a thing as a "far left" is the most centrist thing ever.
Nice projection - those of us who voted for Harris even though she wasn't ideal aren't mature adults who tried to prevent the situation we're in now, we're just centrist nazis with our heads in the sand! Keep telling yourselves that when the SWAT team assaults your Moral Purity pedestal. The truth is that we actually tried and you didn't.
If you voted for Harris, you're not the kind of centrist this comic is referring to.
That's not why.
Extreme left - they're out to kill me so I have to defend myself.
Extreme right - they're out to kill me so I have to kill them first.
Centrists throwing around the horseshoe - both sides are so prone to violence, they might as well be the same thing for the rest of us.
Doesn't mean they're correct, they just don't like violence and shy away from it.
Last panel is on point for the majority of humanity because preparing for the future isn't a default command written in our genetic code, but a learned behaviour.
Centrists are people who prefer not to artificially simplify problems before coming up with a solution. Top right panel is a ridiculous strawman
