A deep dive into the psychology of projection, authoritarian loyalty, and why not all extremes are created equal.

The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal.

For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.

      Hoo boy, you sure showed me! Damn, I’m never coming back from that one, a zinger clearly birthed by an American education. You’re right - your thoughtless regurgitation of American propaganda is absolutely superior.

      Thank you for reminding me why I left that cesspit.
