      I’m usually less concerned about the hobbyists who learn gun safety than I am about the people who are mainlining extreme stuff online about needing a gun to use against “the enemy”. Hopefully he’s at least a bit in the former camp too.

      Horseshoe theory has no basis in reality. If you actually knew the definitions of Left and Right, you would realize that they’re diametrically opposite. Please educate yourself.

          Sounds about right for a tankie, class reductionism is stupid.

          If horseshoe theory was actually true, you’d expect to see more of that sort of behavior among left-wing communists (such as anarcho-communists), but the opposite is true. Left communists are often the loudest critics of tankies.
