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
From an American stand point, I just hate we are forced to fall into the DNC party line or be considered fascist, when the system is just broken. I vote dem every time, and I'm def not a centrist, but there is enough flaws all around. One side is just way fkn worse, which allows the other to not actually do anything and collect money the entire way on the back of a broken system. The both sides thing has credence but doesn't actually get us anywhere, cause thats the way the system works. I don't know. It almost seems staged, in how laughable American politics is. I don't really blame people for the deep state thinking, cause there is a deep state : corporate interest, profit and greed. The frustration is just taken out on the wrong people imo, but the sentiment I can agree on. Most right wingers are dumb af, or just ass hole people incapable of self betterment. There are smarter conservatives, who can logic, but they get caught up in some force fit petty god and lose me right there. The left doesn't exist here as a party, by design, it is not in the interest of the powers that be, so. I'm just a blue collar lefty in a right wing section of american. My everyday is quite jarring. And most of the people I have interaction with are not fascist, they are just more susceptible to that sort of messaging. They want the same thing everyone else does, but they've been spoon fed hateful rhetoric to keep them pointing blame elsewhere. There is an aversion to introspection I find gross, but largely just comes down to what rhetoric you've been raised on, and how often your exposed to different things and people. Wild ass country atm.
The system isn't broken, it's working as intended (including it bein a theatre).
And I don't blame those at the bottom for believing what they've been socialised to, but I also refuse to coddle them in to thinking it's ok, not in the age of information when they can do better.
Also don't call people dumb, that's ableist.
Broken to me, and many, I should have specified. I agree on the coddling, which is why I call bullshit when I can. Sometimes you have to pick your battles as some people just want to be angry, in which case im just not dealing with you on a personal level at all ftmp. Sorry about my choice of words, my bad. It was low hanging fruit for something far more nuanced than "dumb".
which allows the other to not actually do anything and collect money the entire way
The Democrats have had a supermajority once in the last 20 years, for a few months, and they used it to pass the greatest expansion of health care since FDR, which saved countless lives.
People keep saying "oh the democrats don't do anything" but whenever we actually put them in power, they do loads of things.
Even though you're not even claiming to be a liberal, but a proud centrist (lmfao, clown), I think if you actually cared, these could still be applied to answer your "question" (you clearly don't care and aren't asking because you actually want to know, and these links aren't really for you, but if you ever feel like taking your head out of your ass, they might be a good place to start):
Lmfao, no, there isn't.
But yes, I am far left! The only group trying to actually end capitalism instead of pander to it like the others, making you all complicit no matter what the ovetton window calls you...
I mean the centrist could disagree with that particular view but agree with others on the right. As he could with views on the left.
Why would he have to agree to any views? A genocide is a genocide, no matter the size..
