I agree extremes are bad. I lean right on some issues. I lean left on others. I’m just not into extreme views in general.
I want to know what issues they lean to the right on. Like, if it’s guns, then they might just be ignorant, maybe.
Even the wealthiest countries in the world have human beings sleeping in the streets, despite also having more than enough resources to guarantee housing for every single person. As far as the law is concerned, the only thing that matters is that these desperate people must not be allowed to break into empty abandoned houses for shelter, as this violates the infinitely more important private property rights of the homeowner to own an empty abandoned house.
“Centrism” is pretty extreme, it just doesn’t feel that way because the horrors are so normalized
This is an excellent way to put it, and another great example of an extreme.
There are people, like in the OP, that hold delusional views on the right. That doesn’t mean everyone is, which was my way of addressing the comment I was replying to.
Refusing to pick a side when there are clear reasons to not be on the right is fucking extreme. I should have included it in my reply, but it was meant to be a quick little one-off and not a deep discussion on extreme politics.
okay but why equivocate between the left and right? you’re painting an equality between people who want to make the world a better place and people who want to be the boot stomping down on faces forever.
