A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.
The person asks “wait a second-- why’d I end up in hell??”
The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: “because centrism enables fascism”
Its almost as if keeping the oposition divided is the point of these posts.
Centrists are not the opposition, they’re conservatives that don’t like being called conservatives.
Yep, currenr conservative ideals are “fuck the poor, fuck black peiple, fuck trans people, fuck women, fuck gay people, fuck anyone that isn’t a rich white cishet male”. Hard to be an actual centrist with that shit…
you really don’t understand the threat that division poses, and how much more likely it is to cause the issues that both the left and right fear. including fascism.
you probably also think the French were pussies for surrendering to the Nazis.
Yeah, and made out of straw. We’ll gather votes like this for sure!
Naaah. That’s Libertarians. Centrists are essentially political atheists.
Absolutely agree. None of the many parties in my country have a program that resonates completely with me. That means that i have to think about which issue is the most important for my community or my family when I vote.
You have to be totally brainwashed to actually believe centrists are conservatives. Maybe if you keep up that hate it might become true. Ironically you sound just as hateful as actual conservatives. Just because I don’t agree with all progressive politics doesn’t make me a conservative. That’s literally centrist. If that offends you, that’s a you issue
What the rest of the world considers centrist, would be radical left wing in the US.
Then it’s a you problem, not the centrists.
