  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks “wait a second-- why’d I end up in hell??”

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: “because centrism enables fascism”

      Yep, currenr conservative ideals are “fuck the poor, fuck black peiple, fuck trans people, fuck women, fuck gay people, fuck anyone that isn’t a rich white cishet male”. Hard to be an actual centrist with that shit…

      Naaah. That’s Libertarians. Centrists are essentially political atheists.

        Absolutely agree. None of the many parties in my country have a program that resonates completely with me. That means that i have to think about which issue is the most important for my community or my family when I vote.

      You have to be totally brainwashed to actually believe centrists are conservatives. Maybe if you keep up that hate it might become true. Ironically you sound just as hateful as actual conservatives. Just because I don’t agree with all progressive politics doesn’t make me a conservative. That’s literally centrist. If that offends you, that’s a you issue

        What the rest of the world considers centrist, would be radical left wing in the US.

        The reason many people think centrists are just conservatives in disguise, is because the “centrists” most people see online aren’t actually centrists. They’re only slightly left of the extreme right, and think there’s a middle-ground compromise somewhere between “we want all these people dead” and “nobody should die.”

          I think that just shows lack of imagination. I may be a centrist: want a free palestinian state, support the ukranian government, and belive that renewables are not sustainable economically, and be against imigration (I am european, these are not necessarily my opinions, just an example). You can either alienate me or convince me.
