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."

Iam “What... What are you doing? What’s going on here? Why is the trash-can sitting on top of a pile of garbage?”
Hym *mumbling* “It needs to be reversed... Only I can do it... reverse it...”
Iam “Reverse? Why are all your clothes on backwards? Wait... Is this about that reversibility theory video we watched?”
Hym “Help me flip the fridge upside down.”
Iam “What? No! You know that’s now what he meant...”
Hym “Wait! Increase the temperature of the freezer and then decrease the temperature of the fridge! DOUBLE REVERSE!!!”
Iam 🤦 ♂️ “Just don’t break anything....”
Hym *throws brick* *glass shatters* “I reversed the thing you said!”

In Clash Royale, every player who uses an annoying or overpowered strategy is somehow always has a Level 11 king tower, or the opponent is also Level 11 but their card levels are not as high. Level 11 is one of the last levels before real skill is needed to play the game, which is why many players use overpowered decks full of splash-damage cards to get a quick win, but eventually hit a wall of actually good players. Level 11 Theory also extends to a player's spending on the game, often having level 13 or higher cards through excessive spending in the shop.
Alongside this, the phrase "Level 11 Theory" is often commented on Clash Royale short-form content in which every tower and troop is at level 11. This isn't because both players in the match have only reached level 11 for their cards, but rather that they are playing a friendly match (friendly matches have every card at level 11 for both sides) and whatever is shown in the video is likely staged for views.

Dave: Bro, I just hit King Level 11 and now every match is against some spammy jackass with Level 14 E-barbs and Wizard. I
