Gotta love 2025. Is this an alt-right post or an alt-left post? No one can tell. Horseshoe theory, etc etc.

Yeah, true. I have observed that too in the last few years. If you see someone saying we should not support Ukraine there is a 50/50 chance they are far-left or far-right. Pretty impossible to tell in most cases.

The right is pro-NATO, as NATO is the main millitant arm propping up western imperialism, and the left is anti-NATO for the same reasons. There's no "alt-left," lol.

This is an untrue oversimplification, probably written by someone who is terminally online

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

In what way is it untrue? It's a bit simplified, but I wouldn't really consider many western right-wingers to be anti-NATO nor any leftists pro-NATO.

Anyone against NATO is against Western imperialism and would be considered a "leftist" by Western standards (just humane and ethical for the rest of the world). I don't see what can be misunderstood here.

Plenty of far-right people would be leftist then. Interesting

You're just saying words now, lol.
