Saw some posts earlier today about the "right", the "left", the "Nazis", the "commies", etc., and I thought I'd illustrate the whole thing more clearly:
The odd thing is that we're arguing even as we agree on the same general principles of what is "good" and what is "bad". The vast majority of us agree that freedom is good and oppression is bad. The political spectrum is not linear, but rather circular: the "extremes" end up merging into the same totalitarian crap... The danger is not whether people go "left" or "right", but rather when they descend to the bottom and cherish a "strong government"...

The funny thing is you make a pretty reasonable statement that most people feel compelled to agree with but tie it to what amounts to a meme that just reinforces old, simplistic and factually wrong memes and is just the horse theory nonsense repackaged.
