I'd rather have a politician who does absolutely nothing than a fascist.

They’re not political, they just wantt to see common sense policies on immigration (for brown people) and crime (for brown people).

Social centrism ≠ traditional centrism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 minutes ago

They aren’t that either.

Ah yes, the classical "you're either with us or against us"

This is false.

I feel like most people here are american, which would explain this point of view

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

No.

This is just the case on (yes American, make your own sites that would be nice) every intended forum.

Shit even my in laws say they are centrist, they don’t hold a single view that’s centrist. They vote down ticket republican their whole lives. This is a thing republicans do.

I'll grant you that this is very much an American sentiment currently, but it's not exactly a purely tribal take when the centrist opinion is that sometimes Nazis can have good ideas.

As a centrist, I approve with this message. An actual centrist does not compromise with nazis.

Seems like the left don't approve of common sense.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 hour ago

It's common sense from an outsider perspective that any organization that expects children to pledge allegiance to it 3000 times before adulthood is loaded with propaganda and the kids that graduate from that aren't going to have proper common sense.

And just because other countries aren't as obviously villainous about it doesn't make their standardized textbooks and their corporate media (much of it imported from the propaganda empire above) that much less propagandistic.

So it's common sense that common sense is tainted by decades of propaganda, and actually understanding something means unlearning what they taught you and looking with fresher eyes.

So you're right, common sense is for chumps, and that's just common sense.

Yeah and it's always the others who are toxic and populist, right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

I may be toxic and populist, depending on who you ask, but I'm not a right-winger hiding behind a thin curtain of 'centrism'.
