"I'm a centrist..."
So you admit you are a conservative. No one in today's political landscape calls themselves a centrist unless they are slightly right of Hitler. Progressives are not fooled by that word.
Don't be a twat. I very highly doubt you don't hold some conservative views.
There is a difference between views and actions. So much horrible shit was done in the name of religion xyz. Does that make the religion inherently bad, or the people who did bad things in the name of it? Views and what is done because of those views are not one in the same.
For example. You could be upset about illegal migration. That is largely a conservative talking point. How you solve that could be evil like genocide, or something like making the immigration process actually possible in less than a decade.
That's one reason, yes.
Ah, I see you are one of those smooth brained pricks who sees any form of religion as evil, even though it has also saved many people. To be clear, I'm an atheist, but that doesn't mean my beliefs are inherently healthier than someone living for a cause greater than themselves.
Is such incivility really necessary?
Did you miss the part where you called everyone who is not left leaning, nearly as bad as a warmongering genocidal dictator? Which one of us was uncivil first?
Edit: ah, I was thinking you were the person I originally responded to. Still strange for you to support that person though.
Hmm, I find it strange that you came to the conclusion I was supporting "that person".
Please consider that you might have an itchy trigger finger.
Oh I definitely do. Probably something I should work on.
I've been there. And I still fall back into it from time to time. 👍
