MODERATORS
They attack centrists to maintain the two party divide. If you don't agree with one side, you are seen as an ally of the other.
I am mostly euro-centrist. In America, I would be far left.
Unfortunately, large sections of the Fediverse are slowly turning into bubbled echo chambers, each enforcing their own purist "correctness".
They're throwing anybody with remotely different opinions out the window whilst slowly shifting their overton window off into fantasy land.
Most of the "centrists" if come across tend to regurgitate hard right talking points.
They only say they're centrist because they're slightly left of the GOP, which puts them right of the DNC. But if you zoom out, they're all authoritarian right.
So in a local context, they're centrist. But in a global context, they're definitely not.
