The Yaron Brook Show 📺 Live Feb 15, 2026 Season 12, Episode 31 Horseshoe Political Theory -- What is it? What it Gets Wrong?; Reviews | Yaron Brook Show *The Myth of Extremes: Why the Left & Right Aren’t Mirror Images — And What the “Horseshoe” Gets Dangerously Wrong* Are the far Left and far Right basically the same? 🤔 That’s the claim of Horseshoe Political Theory — the idea that political extremes bend toward each other. But is that true? Or is it a lazy framework that blurs crucial philosophical differences? In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron breaks down what Horseshoe Political Theory gets right… and what it dangerously misunderstands. He contrasts it with a more accurate model of political ideology — and explains why today’s authoritarian Right is not just “the mirror image” of the Left, but something philosophically distinct. Plus: Javier Milei, AI girlfriends, the 2024 election, Gen Z demoralization, Rand, capitalism, art, authoritarianism — and five music reviews you don’t want to miss. If you care about liberty, capitalism, and the future of Western civilization, this episode is essential viewing.
