Pyramid Theory

Horseshoe Law was once a theory, but the events of the 21st Century have established it as accepted law. However, it leaves certain questions unanswered. For example, the original Horseshoe Law sometimes neglects to mention the role of economics, and the fact that Democrats are not on the side of the Horseshoe, but at the bottom. Democrats are egalitarians -- what explains why some people climb up the right side through conservatism and others through white libertarianism? What finally unites both sides at the gap?
Pyramid Theory suggests that we all start at 0 on an X Axis. Narcissists move as far as they can to one end of the axis or the other, but realize they want to climb up the socioeconomic ladder. But narcissism is lonely without peons, so eventually they lean the ladder back to the middle, meeting narcissists from the other side at the top of the Pyramid, free to practice their Autocracy over the base.

"I get why conservatives would open up two fronts against the Democrats, but those two candidates seemed so far apart -- why did Russia support both of them, and how did they know it would work?"

"At one end of the spectrum, you have Trumpers. At the other, you have Closet Trumpers. One side is proudly racist. The other scrambles for some rationalization that their racism isn't actually racist -- it's just 'identity politics,' 'economic anxiety,' or some other 'distraction.' Find someone willing to regurgitate those old lies, and you have control over the two sides of Pyramid Theory."

Palestinian genocide

Approximately two millennia ago, Colonizers, Occupiers, and Oppressors deliberately sought to erase indigenous Jewish people from their homelands in Israel/Judah. Rather than simply renaming the region, the Empire chose to rename it after the Philistines, who had ceased to exist five centuries prior, spelling it "Palestina," or as it was eventually anglicized, Palestine.

So, the "Palestinians" are just Israelis under their Colonizer name. But does that mean the "Free Palestine" movement means freeing Israel? No.

Just over 100 years ago, "Palestinian" was coined to refer to other Colonizers and Occupiers -- who now accuse the indigenous people of genocide!

Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, kills Gazans when its own genocidal rockets aimed at Israel fall inside Gaza.
Hamas: "Is this Palestinian genocide?"

Blue MAGA

Like Republican Red MAGA, Blue MAGA are libertarian populists who use organizations like "Justice Democrats" to infiltrate the Democratic Party pretending to be members of the party, running for election in safe Blue districts, and then voting against the party platform, siding with the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene to protect Russian oligarchs, block marginalized communities from getting clean water and modern infrastructure, and even going so far as denying Ukraine and Israel defenses against genocide. In fact, now that their false messiah Bernie Sanders has renounced Hamas, his cult is renouncing HIM. Even though Israel and Judah have lived in the area now known as Israel for thousands of years, occupiers are now calling for genocide of Israel "from the river to the sea," and people like Rashida Tlaib called that genocide "aspirational." Blue MAGA goes so far as to tear down Missing Children posters and killing senior citizens who happen to be Jewish -- which in their minds means "Zionist" or "Soros" or whatever Blue/Red MAGA is calling them this week.

Blue MAGA: "Can you BELIEVE they censured Rashida Tlaib for genocide?"
Decent people: "Didn't you censure Paul Gossar for making anime about AOC?"
BM: "So? You think Blue MAGA's hate is rational???"
