Centrism

[email protected]

How about you spread information about everything the current administration does wrong to sway the public opinion. There is ton of material already and its been day 1. You jerking off to mass murder is working against your goals of a better society.

When we do that it gets hand-waved away as "TDS" or some equally trite nonsense.

Sorry it came across like that, I was super tired. I think other commenters are right that authoritarianism sucks, whether it’s left or right.

It also sucks when it's centrist. And guess what, your opinions are not less biased than anyone else, you are no more the arbiters of truth or justice than anyone else, you are no more "principled and unbiased" in you approach towards morality ethics and philosophy than anyone else. Don't be so goddamn arrogant.

In the US, you mean? From the top of my mind, advocating for more market freedom - unrestricted capitalism is a mixed bag generally, but the Biden administration was price-fixing insurance in the wake of California fires, which is a degree of economical illiteracy approaching Soviet Union levels.

What if the monarchy, with all their power, does nothing alleviate your abysmal working conditions, and indeed profits from your suffering? What if the monarchy responds to your peaceful petition by, say, butchering your procession in the hundreds?

You’re right that no one is an angel or god, no one has perfect knowledge and as such cannot hand out perfect justice. That’s what I am saying, essentially. As soon as people create authoritarian systems, of any kind, they become adherents to one singular way of thinking. That’s the problem.

Yeah, and centrists in the current climate are all supporters of the authoritarian system that is capitalism, and essentially are all adherents to one singular way of thinking.

As a soda drinker, I'm always surprised by that.

Horseshoe theory posits a wolf in sheeps clothing and a sheep in wolfs clothing are the same thing.

At no point have I ever seen anyone in a political science class mention horseshoe theory except in the process of explaining that it isn’t a scientific concept that has validity and was the creation of a journalist. There is no evidence that backs the horseshoe theory. A former Marxist is not going to have much in common with theocrats, monarchists, or fascists and is unlikely to move from one to the other.

TL;DR: horseshoe theory isn’t taught in poli sci because its bullshit.

I'm not, but German grid mismanagement is a major contributor to the crisis in our country.

Y'all seriously need to stabilize your grid so that it can handle a bit of unpredictable weather without causing electricity price spikes across the entire European electricity market.

It is an inversion of it, actually. The sugar starts on the porridge, so the trueness of the Scotsman can't be found.

advocating for more market freedom

Oh hey look, an idiot

I don't even know what you mean I've been tagged as a Rogan listener in your app. I haven't listened to Rogan regularly since before covid and he lost his damn mind. If someone else is slapping labels on me they got that one fuckin wrong lol.

Also I have said several times im not a centrist. I'm a former Democrat that still leans left on most issues, but I can't identify with today's Democrats or the left.

Also horseshoe theory is the creation of a journalist and no studies support the claim.

It still does poorly because we are bad at predicting the future

If you squint enough, you're gonna see a normal distribution.

According to your silly understanding of it, every mass-shooter in history was also “far left.”

We are working on it, but nimbys were against power lines over ground so it was decided to build them underground which the farmers didn't like... It's complicated.

But how is it bad for you if we buy expensive power from you? Shouldn't your energy companies make big money from that situation?
