The centrists has their basic needs met and isn’t part of a social group that is threatened so they see both as a waste of tax spending.
Maybe I’m the centrist in this scenario, but isn’t that just normal left? I’d expect far left to be like “we are going to exterminate all the rich then give their stuff to everyone else”
In the US at least, the entire country is so far right that the position above is actually far left in our political sphere.
Haha yeah US is so backwards. And I’m surprised the world hasn’t built a massive wall around us because we literally use God as part of our laws, how many weapons we have stockpiled, how many citizens die from unnecessary violence, how little we care about the homeless.
And any sort of empathy about any of those problems, even pointing it out, isnt even a discussion point in politics because itll go nowhere fast.
The left: we’re gonna spy on everyone to make sure you’re fine and doing well!
The right: dude nobody’s looking who cares
Centrists: are either of you sure and aware of your statements?
The left is not saying this.
Kinda like the right doesn’t say that. But here, points don’t matter and we make up the rules as we go.
@FlyingSquid In my humble experience and understanding ‘centrism’ has been always an euphemism for ‘far right’ for the “politically correct” miserable cowards…
That’s quite a humble understanding imho. Centrists are technocratic. Evidence led, not ideological. Take good ideas from the centre right on regulating business and combine that with social policies from the left.
The Nordic model basically.
Evidence led
I have yet to encounter a self-described “centrist” that can justify their hollow pandering with anything that can remotely be called evidence.
The success of the Nordic social market model?
That’s not why we are centrists…it might have more to due with our two choices of geriatric patients who are in a steep mental decline.
Nope, you’re either with us completely, or you want genocide of everybody. There’s no other nuisance here.
