What's a Centrist These Days?

which is the ultimate expression of "free market capitalism"...

Refusing to placate is not hatred.

On some subjects, I don't give a fuck.

I don't control what ignorant horse shit you choose to believe.

Once again, the "you must either love censorship or love nazis" dichotomy is neither valid nor binding. Neither is defying collectivist authoritarian pig fuckers evidence of "right wing."

You very clearly parrot whatever the right-wing outrage of the week happens to be, while blissfully ignoring other outrages that should deeply offend you based on the values you claim to hold. All the while claiming to be a free thinking independent.

You're not neutral. You're not independent. You're not a centrist. You're a good little Republican/Trumpist attack dog that hates all the things you're told to hate while ignoring all the things you've been conditioned to ignore, because you think doing so makes you unique and intelligent and special.

Occasionally agree. Not 1:1 lockstep on all things

That is not for you to decide.

I'm not responsible for how anyone twists what I say.

Never said I was. I said it wasn't allowed.

None of that is for your arrogant ass to decide. There is absolutely no logical reason why I can't pick and choose who I agree with based on the subject at hand. This blisteringly fucking stupid mentality that insists I must go all in for one "team" is not useful or authoritative. Nor is this idea that being independent means I cannot agree with anyone.

Yes, yes, you're a unique rebel. You read Sylvia Plath. You listen to a bikini Kill. You have glasses and a ponytail. You wear paint covered overalls. There's no way you'll ever be prom queen.

Pivot and deflect. Never said any of that.

@Jenee, change his diaper.

5 insulting other posters

60% of your posts are either endorsing right wing views or claiming you don't only endorse right wing views.
72% of the remaining posts are outright insulting posters who call you out on that.

Pot and porn. That's all he's "left-wing" on.
Adding pot and porn to Randism doesn't transform it into a whole other philosophy that he gets to pretend he invented.
They're not the deal-breaker that say...Communism plus oligarchs are.
Communism and oligarchs is fake Communism, and standard-issue Feudalism.
Actually, Rand was dead silent on drugs, and wanted you to have real orgies instead of wank.
So...it's no difference at all. Not one that matters.

Oh, also, not every duck is in perfect 1:1 lockstep with every other duck.
But motherfucker, they're ducks, and they're in line.

Yeah nothing to do with dishonest bullshitters like you constantly accusing me of that nonsense.

You being willfully oblivious to the ways I oppose conservatives proves nothing.

The ringleader of an angry mob doesn't need the mob to love them, they just need the mob to attack whoever they want them to attack.

So long as people like UA and FF willingly rage against every target their masters point them at, all the other opinions they claim to have but fail to act on are less than meaningless.

If you didn't want people to think you were a right- wing idealogue, you would express opinions that run counter to that

Instead, you only ever express right- wing viewpoints, then complain when people say you're right- wing.

Pot and porn tho!
....actually... since he came back from his self-imposed Trump 1.0 exile....those don't come up anymore.
It's all cis misogyny and trans misogyny.
The fun pot & porn UA died with the divorce.

Duh!
He got too high; looked at trans porn; bam, standard issue comic book villain origin.

It was supposed to be strapon porn! Not an actual penis!

i gotta give you this bubba you got some of the toughest fingers on the internet

A centrist is any Republican who, in response to Trump attempting to turn himself into a monarch, is willing to issue a press release expressing mild concern.

Anyone who does more than that is a radical leftist communist.

To start with, you’re all over the board here in terms of ideologies. Economics is not Political. They interact, yes, but they’re not the same. You have social (religious) agendas on here as well.

The only thing not on your list is political. Or, what social, financial, and military powers would have you forget, how best to serve the populace. The opposite sides of that would be total control (1984) or anarchy (mad max). And yes, in that most people would be ‘centrist’.

As for your first three issues (financial), Most people would be somewhere between capitalist and communist as well. Not allowing a few to ‘absorb’ all excess profits while not allowing a few to take advantage while not doing anything to contribute.

Socially, religious and otherwise, most people would agree all forms of propaganda should be off the table. Lies, intentional misleading of the populace by obfuscating facts to convince others, editorializing, and other misrepresentation of facts would be one extreme, the opposite would be intentional withholding of facts. So, yea, most people would be somewhere in the middle of that.

Military/law enforcement, I don’t think most people want a gestopo type of crime prevention, nor do most people want crime ridden streets.

So, yes, I believe most people are centrists.
