Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? (sh.itjust.works)

Yup, horseshoe theory. At a certain point, it's hard to tell authoritarians apart. I.e. why do you hate LGBT folks?

Stalin - they're non-conformist, so to the Gulag with with!
Hitler - the people don't like them, so we can blame them for our problems

Different justifications, same net result. So on LGBT issues, I can't tell Stalin and Hitler apart. The same goes for a surprising number of other policies.
