    Centrism is when you pretend that the screams of oppressed trans people mean exactly the same to you as the chants of the nazis prosecuting them, but deep down you know you’re actually a nazi too.

      Idk i think most actual centrists lean left or right depending on the issue, its not usually that they try to take the exact middle ground on every issue.

        I lean to the left on nearly every issue except when it comes to firearms.

        For some reason I am called a nazi, bootlicking, qanon, magat, baby killer all because I believe we can have appropriate gun control measures while not outright banning every single firearm from those who do follow the laws, take more than necessary precautions to keep them safe and secure, while regularly training.

          It seems so binary in the u s (presuming that’s where you’re from, apologies if I’m wrong). I’m glad it’s not quite so rigid where I’m from. A lot more people seem to have different leanings depending on the issue in ireland.

          Granted, there are still a lot of people who are commited to their party pretty rigidly, and i see a lot of people basing their politics off of americans a lot due to social media. Its frustrating how much u.s politics gets discussed by some, mostly hard left or hard righters in my experience.

            There are parts of the U.S. that are much more grounded to real issues that actually effect them and are not interested in the culture or political wars we commonly see on social media.

            Glad to hear other parts of the world are still functioning socially but it is a shame that are politics are invading. Maybe its the new oil!
