    Centrists say the left bit and ask how they are going to do it?

    Modern leftists suggest we eat them and when the centrists suggest that might be a little over the top they are villified.

      Yep, because leftists never suggest just taxing them more, it’s always people very seriously and literally saying to eat the rich.

        Wait, there are other ways to improve society without resulting to cannibalism?

        Why did nobody say so? I’ll see you all tomorrow when we start enforcing this new brilliant idea of just taxing them.

      I think actually you’re just listening to the wrong people claiming to be moderate left when in reality they’re insane.

      Centralism is the very definition of not having an opinion. It’s running away from the responsibility of having a coherent thought that you have come to on your own. They are as bad as political extremists although somehow even more smug.

        Centralism can be more then not having an opinion. You can lean differently depending on the topic

        I’m probably just a bit jaded from seeing so much American politics online
