The problem with "horseshoe theory" is that it doesn't go far enough.

A solo episode exploring some ideas I’ve been kicking around about the political far left and far right and the limitations of horseshoe theory. I kept this one short simply because I have nothing else to say that I haven’t already said elsewhere at greater length. I’m no stranger to the long form, but not everything needs to be an hour.
