Wish it was this mild. Centrists are more like "Hmm, how can I get the votes of the bigot? A riddle for the ages." And "Why can't those assholes complaining about affording healthcare shut the fuck up, they're breaking my concentration on how to win over the bigots".

Centrists hate the left but will take their vote. They are horny for the right and will abandon any left principle of it'll get their vote.

Hence Kamala running a Republican campaign.

@FenrirIII
That's more like "center left".

At least some definition of "Far Left" would be more: "we're gonna get everyone's basic needs meet by exterminating entire social groups because they're impure". It's not the only one, but it's the one that "centrists" would say it's no different from the "far right".

The sole concept of having a political option whose basic program, purpose and goal is NOT to allow everyone equal rights, is nothing but WW2 german Nazism and should be met with contempt, disgust, unacceptance and SEVERE resistance, even violent one if necessary.

Equalizing such option with any other (left?) option whose goal IS to provide everyone equal rights - is also nothing but intentionally shaming and devalueing that (left, socialist) option and intentionally supporting the Nazism option.

Whether posts, such as this one, come from being (politically) illiterate (as almost 55% of USA is below 6th grade literacy, which puts them in the cotegory of huge crowd of useful idiots) or simply because one is (momentarilly) safe from being endangered by any political stream, is trivial in the matter.

This is not the issue of politics. It is the issue of common sense.

If by "far right" and "far left" you mean people that prefer authoritarian forms of government over democracy, then yeah, it's not all that much different. From my discussions with MAGAs and tankies I've concluded they're the same kind of people, they just quote different talking points.

Do you not think far left or far right anarchists exist?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

People that think the world is flat exist. But what they believe is nonsense and the usually have an agenda of making money from gifting people. Or they're just idiots that don't understand how anything works and refuse to learn.

It's the same thing for people pushing weirdo ideologies.

So there are either authoritarian extremist ideologies or illogical extremist ideologies with nothing in between?

Isn't this 2024 in a nutshell?

This is a bad meme and is actually toxic. It’s far from being logical. If you just add another line to explain what they mean by that, there wouldn’t be a center or far right confusion. If you want to continue this joke, go deeper. Logical jokes sting harder.
