Im guessing its a take on the horseshoe theory centrists like to spam that both left and right are the same, but flipping it around to say centrists and right are the same.
First time seeing it, but its a clever rebuttal to a simplistic take.
So, centrists are very fond of a thing called ‘horseshoe theory’ which posits that as the left gets further left it ends up meeting the far right.
Fish hook theory is a riposte.

I used to think horseshoe theory was an ironic joke. It’s so obviously bogus that it took a while for it to sink in that some people actually believe it.
Do you have text that explains this image?
