    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.

            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.

    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.

    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.

      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”.

      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.

    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?

    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.
