Love to see the compromise for that one.

"What if we let them kill some of that social group so everyone gets what they want?"

~~Centralists~~ ... they are Libertarian, which means they don't care what anyone else does, even if they are dictatorial or authoritarian, as long as the libertarian is left alone and are not affected. They wouldn't mind watching the world burn or even care so long as their part of the world was not on fire.

They are individualists, they care about others, all they care about is themselves. They don't want to see the world as a community of fellow equal humans, they see others are either servants to serve them, people they can exploit or individuals they can take advantage of.

Still waiting on that basic need.

Biden built entire wings onto for-profit hospitals during Covid, while ironically being against universal healthcare. Almost like his donors didn't want it or something.

in my book far left are hexbears hence centrism is something like social democrats a la usa bernie

gotta hate politics and its muddy definitions but I unironically like to call myself centrist. Then I am surprised how controversial it is on the interwebs because apparently everyone has different definitions. They routinely make them up on the fly 🪰

For me centrism is a fine art 🎨 of staying far away from the madness of extremism 🤪. I love centrism. I huff centrism. I breathe centrism.
I fuck with centrism.

It is deeply based in the sense of superiority and moral high ground. As all politics but this is a fundamental part of centrism. Centrism is saying "You all suck" I am better than you and enables feeling of superiority over the biggest swath of ~~Redditors~~ internet activists 🤓 which is a lovely perk. It is a true essential trick of the ultimate hedonist. If politics were about sex, centrist would be someone jerking it off to the mirror.

Ah yes, despicable Hexbears, and their, checks notes, support of trans and anti-Imperialist struggles. I love being a centrist and hating such tankie-ism.

Dumb. The centrists are not the same as the non-voting. But I guess this is a far-left circle-jerk, and it's none of my business.

All 3 extreme. Centrists are just capitalist that are content with their retirement and house fully funded

The underlying split is that the right wants a homogenously united community while the left is united in the acceptence of their differences. This makes me wonder why the right doesn't want communism. Could this be like homosexuality, that the right secretly wants it and just doesn't dare to say it?

Because the economic right is capitalism, not communism

I'm not even sure capitalism is the right word, at least not in the US. I'd almost describe their ideology as neo-feudalism.

The republicans have always paid lipservice to the idea of meritocracy, of an even playing field, and fair competition. But that isn't what we're seeing from them - they're merging economic and state power in a way that serves to lock in the existing class structure and remove what little social mobility remains. They may pay lipservice to the idea of a free market liberal democracy, but that isn't the government they're creating.
