Centrism

Jesus Christ you people are impossible to have any real dialogue with.

What a stupid fucking response to what I said.

It's like you didn't even read my comment. That or you read it and proceeded to understand exactly none of it.

Whatever dude. I'm not gonna waste any more energy trying to talk to you fuckin morons. None of you are even capable of having normal conversations anymore.

Good night.

Yes exactly, I recently watched this guy's video and it made me a lot more aware of the left/right thinking we do

As it is an unnuanced take of anti-capitalism

The people saying oppression isn't always bad, what kind of examples or situations do they give? Pretty curious because I can't really think of any examples where oppression would be good.

The rest of the democratic world isn't working off a framework from the 1700s

What about the planned economy that learns from the previous one's mistakes? Or the one after that?

Based on all the past experiments, they all fail.

Every person and company has complex needs and desires and ultimately, it's impossible for a central authority to fully anticipate and manage that over the size of a nation, because the quantity of parameters and unknown is almost infinite. Heck I don't even know what I'll want to eat for dinner!

Without even diving into the issue of concentrating so much power into a single hand. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I dunno, human history is a story of conscious design and planning outperforming evolutionary systems.

China and Vietnam are doing pretty well with there mixed economies. Seems like they've harnessed the positive effects of market economies without giving up conscious control to a stock market that only makes decisions via short-term profits.

A lot of countries went from monarchies to democracies peacefully

could you name one?

Cool. I guess only people to the right and left are valid. The right is bad, and the left is good. The rest? I guess we don't count...

Gee sounds a little like a far right standpoint... That's so weird, they never go authoritarian!

The left in the US has gone on record wanting to tax soda because it's unhealthy.

[email protected]

You're thinking of the right. That's what the right does.

Tuol Sleng was actually just a nice leftist resort.

Left or right doesn't matter... Authoritarianism is the enemy.

Yes, you're correct. But this isn't the right platform to expect updoots for saying the correct thing.

This here is Lemmy... Founded by tankies, and unfortunately today tankies seem to be wanting their platform back. The may get it back, at this rate... Which sucks, because so many platforms these days are so insanely far-right.

There isn't really a home for many of us any longer. It's genuinely depressing... Just far right, and far left places, where the dumbasses of the world love to yell.

[email protected]

Your argument is quite compelling, but I'm going to side with the person you're denigrating on this one. I'm sorry...

I'm just not very far-right... So I can't fully get into your mindset.

I disagree strongly with this. You simply have no leg to stand on here.

Pretty fuckin insulting to tell me my father's degree doesn't matter.

To this discussion. Also, as you probably don't want to doxx yourself you can't cite him, i can't know if you're lying, so it's not relevant until you link a paper or something of his on this topic.

That initial article you posted which again has ZERO FUCKING SOURCES has been posted on multiple history subreddits as well as a few times on other more history specific forums/sites.

And the other sources are discredited by reddit too?

Also WW2 was/is a pretty fucking important time in the world history so it gets a lot of coverage. Especially what the Germans were doing leading up to the start of the war as it's kinda relevant to how the whole thing happened in the first place.

So it should be easy for you to cite sources which confirm that the Autobahn construction caused a major boost to the german economy comparable to the weapons industry.

The majority of Germans at the time didn't want to finish the Autobahn as it was seen as a waste of time and resources. Hitler was the one that saw the potential and pushed to make it happen.

Hitler appropriated already existing plans. Cite sources if you want me to believe this.

I came into a conversation where you were spreading myths and propaganda without sources but with a conviction. I assumed you just didn't know and send you the first article which google showed. I added further links to sources, which is more than you did.

Good people that helped many have also done bad things. Bad people who were evil have also done good things. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Show me where I disputed this claim. I also think its true, but your examples are trash.

I can admit that hitler did some good stuff, but the autobahns are not the example for it. Maybe animal protection laws, speed limits near schools and most of all, he's sabotaged the german war effort and was the guy to kill Hitler.

So get off your high horse and ask your dad for some sources.

Yeah, i kinda missed the point there

Average centrist

Are these the same people who think a genocidal imperialist like Joe Biden is a "radical leftist?"
