But... that picture has both Authoritarian and Libertarian in the middle, simply on a different axis. And it puts Hitler centrally between left and right. Which is what I said.
Authoritarian can be "considered" right, but the term isn't really accurate, like I could "consider" a basset hound to be an elephant because it has four legs and big ears. Technically that's true, but that's not how you determine whether or not something is an elephant.
You can have Authoritarian governments that lean either right-wing or left-wing, depending on what system they choose to impose. Authoritarianism by itself isn't right or left, its something different, which is what I said and your picture supports.
Stop putting words in my mouth please.
My point was they are becoming somewhat similiar.

If that doesnt prove Horse Shoe theory than I dont know what does.

Dear Diary,
Today Djalil learnt the hard way what the term 'liberal arts' means.
All you keep trying to do is say what I'm saying differently but still be in general agreement. I don't understand what your goal is. Looking at it like a compass, on the axes you posted Authoritarian would correspond to North, with Left being West and Right being East. You can go northwest or you can go northeast, but north by itself is north, its not east or west. Which is what I'm saying, that Authoritarianism (or Libertarianism) by itself is neither Left nor Right but can veer either way.
To pivot, you can be on the Left. While being on the Left you can have Authoritarian or Libertarian leanings. Being on the Left does not automatically ascribe you to either. You can point in any direction, but you still need four independent directions.
The problem is the source. Mein Kampf is, for all intents and purposes, pure propaganda. It has so much nonsense in it that researchers basically disregard it when they want to know the real Hitler.
I would recommend reading any biography about Hitler written in the 21st century, because writers from the 20th century still saw Hitler as "unhuman" and many biographies from that period are riddled with obvious bias. The 21st century's biographies usually provide more serious and humane insights into Hitler's life. Hitler is an exceptionally interesting person to study once you start studying him as a human being.
Then you should definitely read up more on how minorities have been, and are, treated. Because I can safely say that as a CIS white male I have it infinitely easier in life than my other friends, especially if they're women.
Being ignorant is one thing, being convinced (or attempting to convince others) you as a white male are actually oppressed in the way that minority groups around the world have been and are currently oppressed is something else. Here's the thing: those of us who actually know our history are aware of this little trick. It's the same one that the Nazi's used to get into power.
I'm gonna be real real with you, if you actually believe you as a cis-gendered white male are oppressed and being readied to throw into the gas chambers or anything along those lines, you are either the useful kind of stupid that would be tyrants and despots use to get into power, or you are the sort of insidious and evil person who would pretend to be stupid in order to spread such ideas to rally support for said tyrants and despots.
If you're feeling oppressed it is because your ideology is declining, your world view and way of life simply are not sustainable and the vast majority of people on the planet actually don't agree with you because they're not ignorant and sooner or later you're just gonna have to come to terms with that and deal with it.

It didn't come as any shock to me that Hitler was a liberal arts major. Hitler was a man of the left. That he is today instead associated with the right is one of the most significant deceptions of our time.
Did the Vienna Academy of Art teach only art or did they teach other things, if you get a degree in art today they make you take a variety of courses, algebra, history, etc
I don't think the Vienna Academy of Art ever accepted him though.
Today Hitler's art sells for a lot of money, but not because of the artistry.

Seriously this. I'm surprised liberals actually believe he was right wing.
- Created mostly government-funded jobs (especially in roads and infrastructure)
- Public schooling with government-funded and government-enforced curriculum
- Nationalized healthcare
- Forcefully took money from the rich
- Gun control
- Government funded abortion
- Strong police state (thanks, gun control)
- NAZI literally stands for National Socialist Workers Party.
"B...But DAE not real socialism?!?!" Please, tell me how that's not socialism.
Hell, replace persecuting jews with white males and you have a modern liberal utopia.
Bonus: Hitler was even a big fan of Muslims!
