Right: Let’s do genocide
Left: Let’s not do genocide
Center: Guys, you’re gonna have to compromise, let’s just do /some/ genocide
Right: I guess I can live with that for now
Left: No
Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh
First things first, I haven’t insulted you or talked down to you, I would appreciate the same.
Secondly, what do you know about ME other than our minimal interaction on the internet? You make a judgement call for a few sentences and that’s just fine and dandy?
Third, I do care in my own individual way. Why can’t we look inside a single group and root out the individual bad seeds. You think every centrist wants to enable genocide? That’s a really closed off perspective.
I acknowledge the history in those articles you gave. Thank you for those BTW. But in this day and age, things aren’t so black and white. It’s difficult for people to make changes for the better while being accused of being a fascist, or a clown, or an enabler. Every single day there is evidence that the individual should be looked at, not who they associate or affiliate with. In my opinion people don’t even get the chance to condemn before they have the exact same label that their counterpart has.
No. You don’t need to listen to every statement the other side has to say. That’s ridiculous and if that was expected, then that completely does away with free thought and fascist.
No. Not everything needs to be compromised. Nothing should be compromised when it comes to basic human rights and needs ((that includes healthcare (physical and mental) housing, food, education.
Still consider myself a centrist. Sorry if that offends you
