This Is The Craziest Email I’ve Ever Received
50% far-left, 50% far-right, 100% crazy—a lesson in horseshoe theory.
I recently opened one of the strangest emails I’ve ever received. It’s 50% far-left, 50% far-right, 100% crazy.
Strap yourselves in, this email is long—and be sure to stay for the end, I have a few thoughts:

Subject: Debate me?Garry,
Want to have me on your podcast?
Or are you afraid to have anyone on who is critical of the Israeli terrorist regime?
Like many, I am pleased to see that Zohran Mamdani will become the next major of NYC. Below is some insider information about Mamdani.
Mamdani is the future of the Democrat Party: young, non-White, immigrant background, and a champion of social justice. (Warmongering old white neoliberals like Biden are the past.) And Mamdani is not afraid to go after genocidal fanatics (like zionists ). In fact, Mamdani has promised to make NYC a beacon of human rights. NYC, under Mamdani, should in no way tolerate genocide (zionism).
It's time to celebrate but also to be realists. There will be setbacks, but Israel and Zionism will eventually be defeated. Just play the long game.
Demographic change in the US, as Mamdani demonstrates, will change US foreign policy in the long term. Beside white people in the USA and Europe, almost the entire world is anti-Israel. If you want to change US foreign policy, support mass immigration into the USA. Change the demographics to change US policy.
As friends from FWD.us and the Cato Institute recently said: If you are against Israel, the number one thing you can do is support mass immigration into the USA. Demographically transform the USA and it will become vehemently anti-Israel.
Israel, as it is, an ethno-nationalist, genocidal regime, cannot be allowed to continue to exist.
Why do I care so much about defeating Israel and Zionism?
Here is why. As an immigrant, DACA recipient and human rights organizer, it is my duty to side with good and call out evil.
This is why I must call out Israel. Israel already has slaughtered over 40,000 Palestinians - mostly women and children. Now Israel is trying to start WWIII with Iran. Israel, to be blunt, is a genocidal terrorist regime. Israel is one of the most evil regimes ever to have existed.
And no, this is not anti-semitic. There are bad jews and there are good jews. And good jews actively oppose the genocidal ideology of zionism and the terrorist Israel regime.
Here are some signs of good jews:
- Good jews will call for an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and to bring charges of genocide against him.
- Good jews will call for arrest warrants for all members of zio-terrorist organizations like AIPAC and ADL for election interference, genocide, and intimidating critics of Israel. Good jews will demand that their assets be seized and genocide charges be brought against them.
- Good jews will call for regime change in Israel. We need an international coalition to rain missiles - and even tactical nukes - down on Tel Aviv. This corrupt, evil regime must be stopped at all costs.
- Good jews will call for all zionists outside Israel to be arrested, charged with genocide, and their assets seized. All zionists are terrorists and complicit in genocide.
- Good jews will support the 51% Project. We must demand more diversity for Israel; we must facilitate non-jewish immigration into Israel to make Israel at least 51% non-jewish.
- Good jews will not be afraid to call out Jewish privilege, Jewish nepotism and Jewish power structures. Jews are only 2% of the US population but are extremely over-represented in the media, banking, finance, law, and higher education. This over-representation is wrong. For example, no more than 2% of the student body or faculty of elite colleges should be jewish. No more than 2% of hedge funds should be controlled by Jews. No more than 2% of journalists or judges should be jewish. Etc. Fair is fair. We need proportional representation. Good Jews will call out Jewish privilege, Jewish nepotism and Jewish power structures, even if it does not benefit them financially.
- Good jews will want to end jewish separation from society. Good jews will also realize the inbred nature of Jews and that many genetic Jewish diseases result from this. Good Jews will demand that ethnic Jews do not marry other Jews and instead out-marry. For example, there are many African migrants around Israel who would love to take Jewish brides. We need to be doing everything we can to pressure Jews, especially female jews, to out-marry. Let's end jewish separatism.
Please spread the word. Let's call out bad jews, but praise good jews. Let’s help end the genocide in Gaza! Demand a ceasefire today! Let's not let Israel start WWIII with Iran!
And most importantly, let's keep dialoging about Israel. OK?

Fan mail has been a fact of life for me for several decades. Usually, it has to do with chess, although it’s increasingly political.
What sets this message apart for me is how clearly it illustrates horseshoe theory: The notion that the political spectrum is not a flat line but a U-shaped curve where the most extreme ideologies meet at the ends.
There’s a lot in this message that reads far-left. The anti-Israel, pro-Iran worldview. The obsession with demographics. The naked antisemitism.
And there’s a lot in this message that reads far-right. The anti-Israel, pro-Iran worldview. The obsession with demographics. The naked antisemitism.
There are some tells (would a leftist really use the term “Democrat Party?”). And I am fairly confident that there is no “Diego Sanchez,” that the author is not a DACA recipient, and that there is no organization called “Hispanic Youth.”

But “Diego” would find a kindred spirit in both Briahna Joy Gray and Tucker Carlson. He’d fit in well with Glenn Greenwald and Candace Owens.
If you don’t know those names, it doesn’t really matter. Nominally, some of these people are far-right, some are far-left. In practice, their ideologies are interchangeable.
Gray is notoriously dismissive of the plight of Ukrainian children abducted to Russia and Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. She is an alumni of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential bid (and Tulsi Gabbard was a Bernie surrogate in 2016—funny thing about all of that, huh?). Greenwald, who co-founded the left-wing newspaper The Intercept, now runs interference for Trump.
The far-right is currently ascendant, but the far-left is just as conspiratorial and just as demagogic. The fact that they are out of power is not a virtue but a happy accident. The overlapping personalities and dogwhistles across radical left and radical right show that our fight isn’t against a coherent ideology. It’s against extremism, which converges from both ends of the horseshoe.

The Next Move Will Do What the Political Establishment Won’t
The camp that’s nominally pro-democracy refuses to learn how to win.
Seeing this terrifies me. The fact that people get so deep into some crazy mental model about Jews on both the left and the right shows how our societies are going through a very serious mental health (existential?) crisis. But how does one solve this? Better living conditions? More jobs? Banning social media?
It sounds anti-semitic, anti-Israel, and also anti-American. And anti-white European ? Is he pro-replacement theory ? Personally, I think it’s to bait you.
