I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

      Yeah, I literally just said today’s Democrats are a center-right party, and today’s Republicans a far-right party. Back when the Republicans were neoliberal, they were center-right. But they’re not anymore; they’re aligned with Putin and the international neofascist tendency.

          Oh! I was using “center-X” vs “far-X” as a distinction. The same distinction could be expressed maybe as “X” vs “radical-X” — the Democrats are “rightist” and the Republicans are “radical rightist” — much in the same way that we might say that social-democrats are “leftist” and revolutionary communists are “radical leftist”.

          A good non-radical leader can be one who is a good manager of the current system, who gently reforms it toward social goals. However, radicals would never accept such a milquetoast weakling; they want someone who will come in, smash everything, “drain the swamp”, and implement the dictatorship of … um … someone.
