Maybe I’m the centrist in this scenario, but isn’t that just normal left? I’d expect far left to be like “we are going to exterminate all the rich then give their stuff to everyone else”
I also believe I am center… To me it’s more like
Right: let’s go exterminate races. Left: ACAB, all cops are pieces of shit and deserve life sentences.
I mean, they aren’t totally equal, but there are better examples.
All cops are bastards though.
Until you need one.
I’m more likely to be assaulted by a cop than helped by one. Or randomly killed while they do triple the speed limit with no siren.
I hope someday your feelings of law enforcement can be repaired by them. This is a tragic relationship between people and those that are supposed to protect them.
I hope law enforcement keeps correcting this, which they should have done themselves but instead it took enormous pressure and numerous occasions of crimes by law enforcement.
Maybe one day, you won’t have to fell that way.
It’s funny to see people that have swallowed anti communist peograganda hook line and sinker flounder in here trying to discredit the far left.
centrists are usually right wing wanting the votes/approval from left
The centrists has their basic needs met and isn’t part of a social group that is threatened so they see both as a waste of tax spending.
“If we just improve the education system, racism will go away.” - My centrist friend
Bro, no. Also, who the fuck do you think is trying to fund education? Assuming we even accept your premise.
Education does help, or the right wouldn’t be trying to gut it so hard. But it’s not all we need
Implied by this: centrists see all this mainly as a financial matter.
Centrists are unwilling to accept change or inconvenience. This differs from conservatives who think things should go back to some sort of old way.
Undecided voters are the stupidest people on the face of the Earth.
It says something, that securing people’s basic needs is considered “far” left.
The joke is this is a meme made by the far left.
In reality they overspend till the government is soooo weak that their little friends can steal and rob in each and every part of the local government, central government ans government companies.
At least that’s how it goes in every single country in south America
Viva noboa Milei and bukele! Fck trump
Vote left in developed countries
Vote right in undeveloped countries
Unfortunately this is the way.
USA: we don’t have a left. Democrats are at best center.
You don’t have a right either though, at least not a right on the democratic spectrum.
All you’ve got are “unacceptable” and “fascism”.
why do people say these thing when they know its not true
i just try my best to think logically and realistically idc abt left or right opinions
Thinking logically and realistically, without checking if left or right, inevitably leads to a leftist slant. There’s nothing logical or realistic about right wing thought, that’s why they usually suppress the scientific community and educational systems.
Well, it’s hard to tell liberals and conservatives apart, mostly because liberalism isn’t left wing, but actually slightly right from centre, and both liberalism and conservativism share some similarities.
This is what McCarthyism did. It’s the great goal post mover.
Liberalism is solidly right of center, its Social Democracy that is slightly right of center. Conservativism is just fascism.
Conservatives:
Liberals: “no nazis or bigots. We want fair pay and basic human rights”
Wow, it’s so hard to see the difference.
CPAC organizers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
How does that change anything? In the past they were willing to eject these people, but not this time.
It doesn’t. I just found it funny they expected a comment. The news not calling this fascism is why it’s going to get worse.
I doubt they actually expected a comment. Reaching out for a comment is just part of what you do as a journalist.
I used to think that the type of hatred displayed by the filth guy was a small backwards group ina larger whole, but I’m not seeing anyone else in the larger whole, who might be less ridiculous, saying anything about the fridges. It makes them all appear the same.
This is a basic example of issues caused by not policing extremist views within your own group, or a group being too big and not representing the majority of people’s views.
When your only idea to solve problems is violence you don’t care for having people’s needs met, you just want to dominate others and still claim to be the good guy. I see that on the side of “the left” and you can distance yourself from that without becoming right wing or conservative.
No. Centrists: “We think absolutes turn into fucking problems. We should have a choice and not a choice between two things we ALL don’t like.”
Absolutes are not problems by themselves, you must evaluate each case.
As an example, the only correct stance is being absolutely against the KKK, and not give a shit if the KKK objects to that. You’re saying that’s a problem, and that the KKK should be heard out. Fuck that.
This is a total strawman.
It’s an nonsense response to a concept that should be considered reasonable.
Bringing up the KKK in the concept of general problem solving views is a distraction from consideration that reasonable people can solve problems. It exaggerates reasonable people with those who are not.
Nobody but KKK considers them reasonable.
It’s not a Strawman.
By claiming that absolutes are bad inherently, they are stating that taking an absolute stance against racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. Is also bad. The KKK is a great example, they were defended by White Moderates during the Civil Rights Movement.
But that anti-KKK stance is not as extreme as it could be. I’ll give you an example of a more extreme stance: Every member should be tortured and executed, everyone who they were friends with should be imprisoned, everyone who mentions the name “KKK” should be imprisoned.
That is an extreme stance and it is ridicolous too. And in most (all?) cases, extremism also means authoritatian. Do you have an example for an extreme stance is any good?
But isn’t being forced to pay taxes a form of extermination?!
Pretending that you don’t favour certain groups over others is exactly why sane people don’t take you seriously, regardless of what group you associate yourself with in an attempt to siphon off some legitimacy from others you don’t actually have any real relation with.
