Fictional Ideology

"The party would like to remind you this ideology has never existed" - Ingsoc
This article is about a fictional ideology and has no foundation in real life political movements.

Horseshoe Centrism is a Centrist political ideology, that believes the more extreme an opinion, the closer it is to its opposite, while moderate opinions are much more different.

Arguing that the more moderate ideologies like Social Authoritarianism and Classical Liberalism share more differences than Marxism–Leninism and Anarcho-Capitalism, he believes the extremes are basically the same, considering ideologies like Capitalist Communism to be the result of the "welding" of the edges of the metaphorical horseshoe together.

Stylistic Notes and Personality

When presented with a choice, Horseshoe will always think that both options are the same, in spite of how contradictory they may be, typically in this format: "The way I see it, there's no difference between [x] and [y]." or "theres actually zero difference between [x] and [y]. you imbecile. you fucking moro", in reference to a well-known @dril tweet.

Horseshoe Centrist has also been depicted as a bisexual in many comics and artwork, due to finding no difference between the binary genders.
