  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Yeah neither are centrists, even the US definition of Centrists would nope that

That's my point though. I'm not a centralist and I never claimed to be one.

I'm definitely not in favor of centralism I don't think it works, I think it allows for dangerous situations like the one I just described where people who absolutely need to be stopped are not stopped because "what about their freedom". But I am not some left-wing extremist simply because I don't think Nazi should be allowed to go around being Nazis. If you think that's radical then I think your political dial is somewhat misconfigured.

The thing is the US has freedom of expression laws, most of the world doesn't because it turns out that unconstrained freedoms like that aren't really a very good idea. If it weren't for the Constitution, which Americans seem to be obsessed with, I'm sure the US wouldn't have unrestricted freedom of expression either.

The fuck are you on about? I'm a centrist and if Iwas in the US I'd be out protesting right now. Where are people getting these backwards ass views on what centrists represent?
