      It’s all good. When people cite horseshoe theory they’re taking a point in n-dimensional space and projecting it down to 1 dimension then manipulating it in two dimensions to claim they’re the same view. If we use the standard auth/libertarian 2d one, they took auth left and right to call you nazis. It’s braindead. Yeah. They’re both auth. That’s how fucking graphs work. Having to project it down to lower dimensions is just stunningly stupid.

      I’m a voluntarist, but I share a lot of values and ethics with you guys so when some fuck whose political philosophy is probably just anything Trump doesn’t like comes in and pulls that shit I get a little frisky.

          None of those are big words or difficult concepts. The first comment was entirely casual. They asked me to explain. I don’t think I necessarily even used the right terms, but I used the words I’m familiar with. I was legitimately trying to explain why I hate horseshoe people. You’ve got one thing right, though, all of my social ‘skills’ are learned via trial and error. They don’t make pills for that.
