While the hypothesis of "fishhook theory" has long been held to scrutiny and doubt, a recent ground-breaking scientific breakthrough has been made by... two random pseudo-leftists on the internet... when they realized suddenly that the center-left has a strange history of allying with the far-right against communism.

True genius.

    It's funny to read the origins of liberal thinking, like Hobbes and Rousseau and so on, and see how much of it is just quasi-religious (or sometimes explicitly religious) beliefs about human nature or the soul or some other metaphysical nonsense. Liberal ideology is based on some shit that some dudes just made up.
