The Cuckchair Theory in action
Why Horseshoe doesn't explain populism and should be overcome
It’s conventional wisdom to label any common gibberish between the far right and the far left as a clear example of Horseshoe Theory. However, I’ve always thought this theory is too obsolete and flawed to explain the supposed common alchemy beetween populists from both sides. The flawness is intrinsecally implied in the theory itself since it’s based on a self-contained assumption: extremists are similar to each other because they are extremists.
That of course means everything and nothing. A mysandric feminist and a deranged incel could be sure considered both extremists, but if we tried to apply to the society as whole what a mysandric feminists believe and what an incel believe we would obtain two very different kinds of society (wich doesn’t mean one is more preferable than the other, just they won’t be the same).
Neverthless, I think there’s a grain of truth in the horseshoe theory, but as I said before its self contained assumption prevents to see the real framework, wich is not based on larping as a neonazi or as a marxist-leninist revolutionary, but on the compulsive cucking for Israel or Palestine.
Before we continue, let me be clear: when I say cuking for Israel or Palestine I don’t mean anyone who feels sympathy for Israel or for the Palestinian people is a natural born cuckhold. I, too, consider myself an Israeli sympatizher, but at the same time I consider myself first of all an European, and as an European I think Europe should just stay away from the Middle East mess and aggressively pivot to Africa (take that JD Vance!) . With “cuck” I mean a specific kind of people, wich for several reasons feel pleasure to openly pose as more Israeli than Israelis or more Palestinian than Palestinians. And if you pay more attention you will notice that while the latter are ammassed among the poulist left, the former are gathered among the populist right.
If we want conceptualize the Cuckchair Theory we could just define like this:
The more one is a right wing populist, the more will cuck for Israel. The more one is a left wing populist, the more will cuck for Palestinians.
I wanted also to draw a conceptualized picture to better describe that, but ChatGpt has been unable to make it because of something about safety rules or wathever. So I can just use words:
Imagine two rooms from a motel, one on the right corner and the other on the left corner. In the left corner room you see a skinny guy comfortably sit in his cuckchair, happily watching his non binary girlfriend getting fucked by a Gazan refugee.
Meanwhile, in the room on the right corner, a boomer fart bro with a MAGA hat is merrily watching her latinx tradwife getting wildly screwed by an Haredi ultraorthodox with nothing but a tiny hat on his head.
This is basically the common link between far left and far right today. Not the extremism, not the anti-social behavior, but a simple sexual interracial impulse they eventually unleash on political scale.
You can see that everytime everywhere, especially when relevant things happen around. Look these pictures for example:
The good Domalewski is actually wrong. What we are witnessing is not lying, but cuking in its purest form. Matt Walsh is a clear bad faith actor who has to simulate contempt to tanks sent to Ukraine (but not for tanks sent to Israel, of course) in order to hide his erotic fantasy in wich Gina Carano is having sex with Alan Dershowitz while he himself watch the show like a baby in front of a basket of candies. Meanwhile Project 2025 plans to dismantle every federal agency aimed to help local government to face natural disasters, leaving ordinary americans eating shit and die. But rightoids like Walsh are totally fine with that, because rightoids have been making crystal clear for a decade anymore that anyone is not a West Bank settler can eat shit and die.
At least you can say Walsh is a smartass able to hide his compulsive cuckoldry simulating attachment for their countrymen selling outrage porn. This is a common trope among rightoids deeply missed among leftoids, wich are more open (and therefore less effective) to express their cuckoldry without caring about consequences:
These are just two example, but you can find thousands of them on twitter or reddit.
Of course the philo-semitic1 cuckoldry characterizing both the far right and the far left is not just an American thing. Even in Europe you can see two blocks: the populist right (Orban, Salvini, Le Pen, etc…) wich are strongly cuck on the side of Israel, and the left/far left (Borrel, Varoufakis, Sanchez, Melenchon, etc…) wich are strongly cuck on the side of palestinians (you can see it from this report by a pro Israel PAC, therefore above all suspicion).
Again, this essays is not aimed to undermine sympathies for the state of Israel and whoever admire the heroism of his army. Neither to mock anyone can feel sympathy for Gaza civilians and collateral victims of the war.
I want just point up some facts, and after almost a decade of proofs and evidence bluntly exposed by both sides of the political spectrum, we can conclude the following:
On the right side, you have rightoids wanting to abolish FEMA, the A.C.A., cutting entitlements and social security while increasing aids to Israel.
On the left side, you have leftoids ready to give free hand to Republicans to turn their country into a reactionary theocracy because liberals refuse to cucking for Palestine like them.
I think there are sufficient evidence to prove how populism is just a giant middle easternized cuckold orge, and things like tariffs and “economic anxiety” have very little to do with it.
Before someone start to throw stones against me, when I talk about “semites” I dont mean “da Jooz”. When I talk about semites I indeed mean an ethnicity from the Middel East, wich can be composed by both Arabs and Jews.







> and as an European I think Europe should just stay away from the Middle East mess and aggressively pivot to Africa
I read a short post where someone argued the EU should decouple itself from the squabbles of “desert tribes” so long as they “fulfill their obligations to the international marketplace”, i.e. deliver energy resources in a cheap and timely manner. My assumption is you share the same opinion here.
As for a diplomatic shift towards Africa, could you elaborate upon that?
