The ''Horseshoe theory'', is the the theory in which; 1. Radical ideas that are pure antonyms hold the exact same arguments. 2. Seeing as the ideas in question hold the same arguments, anyone blindly following one belief, will eventually transfer to mindlessly following the opposing idea.
The only exceptions are the people who lose their ability to, and the people who never had the ability to. The notion behind this concept, is that all extremes are bad. The only way of falling into an extreme belief is by being brainwashed. Only The Sith deal in absolutes after all.
The Theory is generally used referring to the far left, and the far right on the political spectrum. However, it can also be used to explain other instances where someone changes their opinion on a matter.

A great example of the Horseshoe Theory, is Benito Mussolini. Mussolini was an anti-war socialist who later became a pro-war fascist.

Get the Horseshoe Theory mug.When you say something of undeniable truth or wish to emphasize the meaning of what you just said. The phrase "real talk" is sometimes added in replace of the more impactful "Honest Truth" by douchebags who actually have no deeper meaning behind their words and are most likely lying or trying to fuck you over.

Get the The Honest Vocal Coach mug.A divine attribute we often wrongly assign to one we admire, but sadly, like telepathy, honesty is a characteristic not inherent in humanity. To be truly and completely honest with someone, one must first be truly and completely honest with one’s self. Since our species is incapable of seeing past its own fears, desires, prejudices, convictions, emotional attachments, memories and flawed perceptions, man is not capable of viewing an unfiltered reality. Every single conclusion a person comes to is first carefully screened and reviewed through a series of subconscious unrelated facets of collective reasoning and thus all humanity is blind to all truth. Thus, no one is truly and completely honest with themselves and thus cannot be truly and completely honest with others. The most anyone can hope to give is their honest opinion. But that’s all it is, an opinion.
