    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”

      I also believe I am center… To me it’s more like

      Right: let’s go exterminate races. Left: ACAB, all cops are pieces of shit and deserve life sentences.

      I mean, they aren’t totally equal, but there are better examples.

            I’m more likely to be assaulted by a cop than helped by one. Or randomly killed while they do triple the speed limit with no siren.

              I hope someday your feelings of law enforcement can be repaired by them. This is a tragic relationship between people and those that are supposed to protect them.

              I hope law enforcement keeps correcting this, which they should have done themselves but instead it took enormous pressure and numerous occasions of crimes by law enforcement.

              Maybe one day, you won’t have to fell that way.

    It’s funny to see people that have swallowed anti communist peograganda hook line and sinker flounder in here trying to discredit the far left.

    @FlyingSquid In my humble experience and understanding ‘centrism’ has been always an euphemism for ‘far right’ for the “politically correct” miserable cowards…

      You don’t have a right either though, at least not a right on the democratic spectrum.

      All you’ve got are “unacceptable” and “fascism”.

      Thinking logically and realistically, without checking if left or right, inevitably leads to a leftist slant. There’s nothing logical or realistic about right wing thought, that’s why they usually suppress the scientific community and educational systems.

    Well, it’s hard to tell liberals and conservatives apart, mostly because liberalism isn’t left wing, but actually slightly right from centre, and both liberalism and conservativism share some similarities.

    This is what McCarthyism did. It’s the great goal post mover.

    It says something, that securing people’s basic needs is considered “far” left.

      The joke is this is a meme made by the far left.

      In reality they overspend till the government is soooo weak that their little friends can steal and rob in each and every part of the local government, central government ans government companies.

      At least that’s how it goes in every single country in south America

      Viva noboa Milei and bukele! Fck trump

      Vote left in developed countries

      Vote right in undeveloped countries

      Unfortunately this is the way.

    Well, far left is anarchism. I haven’t heard how they’re going to make my basic needs met. But then I haven’t ever heard how they’re going to get their basic needs met. Or any needs met, for that matter.

      I think it’s similar to communism in the sense that they fantasize about perfect citizens who would always think about the group before themselves without any other incitation (such as having to earn money to live).

    Also far left: “we’re gonna vote a clear centrist into office because surely that will create progress and not backfire”
