But it’s not like we can exist like we did in the 80s and 90s.  The internet killed the alternatives. 

Horseshoe theory is the idea that on extreme ends of certain belief systems or demographics or what-have-you, you can find surprisingly compatible/similar beliefs. For example, you can find super quasi-crunchy neo-hippies and staunch ultraconservatives who might not appear to have similar beliefs but might go so far…

On the other hand, this is what appears to be a thoughtful news piece on the 2024 AV Club. How did that happen?
