Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

    A compromise wouldn’t be between the extremists on one side and the rationalists on the other.
    It would be between the rationalists on both sides.

    And being a centrist doesn’t mean you take the exact middle point between two extremists on every issue anyway.

    It’s about weighing up the pros and cons of both arguments, and deciding on a solution that minimises the cons of each side.
