I used to be an enlightened ‘the truth is in the middle’ centrist until I realized that the real world requires having actual ideals
I had a former co-worker pull this “compromise” card when I was talking about how maybe minimum wages should be a living wage. He said “both sides should just come to a middle ground”. Like bruh, you know that “compromise” would be literally not a living wage, right? You get that, right?
There’s already a middle ground, it’s the federal minimum wage (I assume US) that hasn’t moved for 20+ years
like the right doesn’t want there to be a minimum wage. They have a whole body of theory for why the minimum wage should be abolished. They want there to be 0 minimum wage.
There is a ridiculous amount of examples of abortion centrists who ultimately argue that abortion should be a legal compromise while saying that they don’t support either side. They’re just chronically unable to take any stand.
Close, a centrist is converservative but ashamed
Uncritical support to comrade Cyber Ghost, for making posts that draw out the liberals so we can ban them.
They want the status quo to go unchallenged as a “centrist” position. That’s just conservatism with more cowardice.
