Germany, Soviet Union sign non-aggression pact

But other factions aren't that idealistic either.

The right don't demand the immediate abolishment of the federal government, they just want to keep some basic freedoms. And they have to keep agreeing to more and more compromises so that centrists would vote for them.

The left don't demand the immediate abolishment of constitution, they just want more business opportunities for their people. And they have to keep promising more social benefits so that centrists would vote for them.

Right wing can't cancel these social benefits, they won't get elected. Left wing can't arbitrarily cancel rights, they won't get elected. The economy keeps falling, and the debt keeps growing.

But I admit that my illustration isn't completely accurate. We need a constantly rotating wheel being dragged down by centrism to make it perfect.

The center ain't an average of the left and right, it's an entirely different way of thinking. We reject idealism and instead embrace practicalism.

if you replaced "freedom" with "center" it'd be right, because that's closer to the truth.

A graphical explanation for how centrists make everyone more extreme and drag the world into tyranny by existing.

Centrists want a compromise between all factions. Regular left and right want centrist votes. Thus they have to keep adding more tyranny. As regular left and right move down, everything else has to move down too, ad infinitum. And freedom factions are so high and removed, they don't have any influence.

Look, both left and right want to introduce X amount of tyranny. Centrists will only vote for someone who supports half the opposite's party tyranny. Therefor, to get centrist votes, both parties have to promise 1,5X points of tyranny instead of the original 1 point. And since politicians can do no wrong, any tyranny introduced by them becomes a core part of their program.

tf am I looking at?

Xihaon · 2021-01-15T09:18:33+00:00

This can be true for the regular left and right, but further ends are definitely closer to the center.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-01-11T22:07:39+00:00

Remember: the far-right has more in common with the far-left than either have to the center.

Xihaon · 2021-01-09T16:04:03+00:00

Half the means, half the time, from half the people.

I can't make this shit up. They practically made a meme for me; it's hilarious.

They argue that we "Don't need government", "We must encircle our settlements with a strip of no-road territory", that we should just use the ground, and "These wars seem to be where road building leads in empire after empire." They also result to character attacks whenever they can't refute my arguments.

Empire building is bad, but you don't need to be so anti-imperialist that you want to ban roads. Government overreach is bad, but you don't need to be so anti-governmental that you burn down the whole country. Over-taxation is bad, but you don't need to abolish it entirely. Anarchism is just as bad as Communism.

I voted for Rocky De La Fuenta, who was the Reform Party candidate. Don't assume things about me, that's the quickest way to get on my bad side.

Xihaon · 2021-01-05T22:25:01+00:00

You vote for them, but you don't like them? Is it because your prefer your oppression diverse and find their tastes too plain?

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-01-05T22:10:09+00:00

Again, we don't like them.

Xihaon · 2021-01-05T22:02:25+00:00

Centrists allow competing sides take turns with new regulations until the country crumbles under their weight?

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-01-05T21:43:53+00:00

No, Xi, Centrists don't like the left or the right.

Xihaon · 2021-01-05T21:08:23+00:00

Centrists keep choosing between nazis and commies until they end up in a dictatorship and lose their rights?

Xihaon · 2021-01-05T21:06:14+00:00

Only corrupt individualism that expects everyone to have a single shared understanding of success and happiness.

Xihaon · 2021-01-05T21:03:33+00:00

Leftists who hate other leftists so much they refuse to be leftists are alt-right. They prioritize fighting other leftists over socialism. They would probably abandon it if not for the inherent leftist inability to understand other ways.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-01-04T05:19:53+00:00

Yeah, but I couldn't really think of an actual right-wing symbol to use.

chadwickofwv · 2021-01-03T17:39:36+00:00

The Nazis were far left too.

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-01-03T01:26:34+00:00

TheAmeliaMay · 2021-01-03T01:25:42+00:00

To an extent, yes. Individualism can lead to dictatorship as well, but it's much less prone than collectivism is.

Druullus · 2021-01-02T21:25:06+00:00

Collectivism?

Airbus320 · 2021-01-02T21:23:26+00:00

And tru centrism always takes the means of production of estrogen!
