    Well, far left happen to want exterminate groups as well pretty often. NGL, their ends are far much better than of far rights (if we assume communism is achievable and stuff), but they still don’t justify the means.

      The dumbest lemmy take I’ve read all day (that said, the day has just begun)

      The far left wants to exterminate a particular social group - capitalists - because it directly oppresses everyone else through violence. Depending on the flavor of leftism, extermination of a group doesn’t have to mean extermination of individuals, rather it means the destruction of their social status and the redistribution of their wealth. The goal is self-defence: stop the literal physical violence through which the masses are kept poor & under control, through violence if necessary.

      The far right wants to exterminate all minorities. And in that case it does literally mean hanging black people in trees and setting gay couples on fire, physical destruction of marginalized individuals. The goal is to install an religious ethnostate.

      If you can’t tell the two apart, you’re literally the centrist from the OP meme

    It’s because we lefties say completely justified mean things about so-called ‘centrists’, and criticizing the literal record of centrism is tantamount to insulting a centrist’s identity.

    The centrists made up the term so they wouldn’t have to face the fact that they’re conservatives.

      That’s right, the centrists are conservatives and the so-called “conservatives” are really regressives at best, plenty of them fascists.

        Many of the greatest political advancements in the history of humanity were achieved by people you’d call “centrists”.

          At the time of those political advancements, it was progressive ideology. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been advancements, it would have been conserving the norm, dumbass.

            Not really, I provided some examples to some other user where they were clearly “centrists”. There were people who leaned more on both sides and the advancement was achieved by someone who was more moderate.

            The post-WW2 transition to liberal democracy in Germany, Italy (Adenauer and De Gasperi), and in general European integration; ending apartheid in South Africa; 1991 economic reforms in India; Deng Xiaoping’s socialist market economy in China which lifted millions from destitution; Chile’s transition to democracy; the labor-capital compromise in Scandinavia which allows them to have very free markets and very strong welfare systems at the same time.

            I could go on.

      I know what you mean though. Some of the worthless dumbfucks who pass themselves off as being far left are just identity politics dipshits who think feminist media criticism is activism.

      In that sense, if someone were looking between far left (“Xeno pronouns are valid!”) and far right (“Build that wall!”) then it wouldn’t be ridiculous to say fuck both sides. That’s kind of the dilemma we’re in now.

    The Far Right: Purity testing for race and religion.

    The Far Left: Purity testing for communist ideals and moral superiority.

    Both are shills pushing russian propaganda.

        I didn‘t say they were? Neoliberals are literally the easiest for Israel and RuZZia to recruit because money is all they care about. But the far left and far right are also suckers for autocratic regimes like RuZzia and China🐻🍯. Traitors inside Europe‘s walls. Neoliberals may be more dangerous because they can form coalitions with conservatives and attack from within the governments.

      It’s always convenient and reassuring to know one’s own ideas, alone, are untainted by scary foreigners.
