I used to be an enlightened 'the truth is in the middle' centrist until I realized that the real world requires having actual ideals
I had a former co-worker pull this "compromise" card when I was talking about how maybe minimum wages should be a living wage. He said "both sides should just come to a middle ground". Like bruh, you know that "compromise" would be literally not a living wage, right? You get that, right?
The right has dragged the discussion so far right that we're arguing for the LEAST BASIC necessities and have to compromise away from them.
We're not arguing, like we should, should new mothers get 1 year maternity leave or 1.5 years?
No... We're arguing should they get ANY leave, or nothing???
It's like this for a million issues, that affect 99% of us, but unfortunately 50% of our population is so stupid and lacks empathy that they are arguing against their own interest.
Billionaires should be fighting 99% of us, instead they have 50 % of the morons fighting the other 50 %.
There's already a middle ground, it's the federal minimum wage (I assume US) that hasn't moved for 20+ years
like the right doesn't want there to be a minimum wage. They have a whole body of theory for why the minimum wage should be abolished. They want there to be 0 minimum wage.
There is a ridiculous amount of examples of abortion centrists who ultimately argue that abortion should be a legal compromise while saying that they don't support either side. They're just chronically unable to take any stand.
Legit all the fucking conservative women I knew got all upset when RvW was overturned and I was like "how the fuck do you not understand you voted for this very fucking thing?"
Close, a centrist is converservative but ashamed
It's funny how most conservatives I've met turn to centrists if you start pressing them on their actual values
Compromise is overrated in the political arena.
Honey where are we going to eat tonight? Compromise away!
Should women have bodily autonomy? There is no compromise to be had here.
Politics is inherently a battle of ideas, it is supposed to be conflict where better ideas win, and compromise almost never works.
In most cases it just waters down a good idea, it rarely improves a shitty one.
Compromise has historically been used by the right to retard progress, from slavery, to women's rights to vote, to civil rights, we've always had to compromise and then eventually we've gotten rid of the compromise and done the correct thing, we should have done in the first place.
Consensus >>> Compromise
With the necessary means of education of course.
Uncritical support to comrade Cyber Ghost, for making posts that draw out the liberals so we can ban them.
You know what's fucked? We talk here sometimes about how many people that say they don't like socialism are just very confised. Well, centrists made baby's first step to understanding diamat. They just refuse to graduate and get that synthesis doesn't look like people holding everyone's livelihoods hostage and their victims coming to an agreement.
Great job, centrists! You really showed those extremes who's unbiased and completely not racist!
Hey, this video converted me from a "centrist" to a leftist.

There is no "center" position on human rights. Unless you want to give people half rights?

That's a british word for cigarette, i swear
I think it's from a movie or something. I can't exactly remember.
There are about a dozen Google results for it, none of them are me.
Regarding the comic itself (obviously not the comment next to it), was this originally done seriously? Did the artist actually make that comment unironically (unless the whole pic was done by one person)?
Glad I am not the only one who called out the shit bag humans on that post. Fuck those people.
In politics there is no centrism, centrists are right wings that make themselves appear modern.
"Anyone to the right of my extreme left position is the enemy" is a great recruiting motto.
extreme left positions such as "maybe we don't want to kill black people, even a little bit"
