10. I've said it before

The only difference between The Taliban and Christian Nationalists is the word they use to describe the deity whose teachings they pretend to follow.

Here in Germany, just about the only supporters of Putin are the far right AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) and the far left DKP (Deutsche Kommunistische Partei) and Die Linken (an alliance dominated by the old hardline wing of the social democrats and the former East German ruling SED--Socialist Unity Party of Germany).

Far right, far left, it's unnerving, though maybe not surprising, that extremists tend to find common ground.

8. When you get to the authoritarian extremes, there is little to choose from between left and right...

Prime example is WWII on the Eastern Front. RW Nazis vs LW Communists in one of the most brutal wars in history, and the treatment of folks back home wasn't much different either.
