Exactly. Its just important to understand that horseshoe is not a viable concept. Use specifics instead. No Gos are:

  • russia apologism
  • israel apologism
  • science denial/esotherics
  • selective exclusion from basic rights

One very helpful concept is the tolerance paradox. It states that tolerant treatment of intolerant parties will lead to them dismantling of the tolerant system.
