I’m gonna approach this with good faith because I am assuming you are trying to. No on is immune to propoganda, you are not immune to propoganda and neither am I. Pretending political extremes are inherently and equally bad is in of itself is propoganda. Politics is an important aspect of life, it impacts a lot of people in serious ways. Invalidating that because someone is emotional about it is kinda fucked up. Like yeah a queer person is going to be emotional about politics because their identity is under attack due to politics. Many aspects of life are political, things that people are often times passionate about or otherwise deeply impact them.
Secondly leftist, like myself, believe what we believe because the current status quo is unfair and hurting people. We are striving to make the world a more free and fair place. So yeah, when someone says they are a centrist (which effectively means supporting the status quo), then that is to us opposing progress to a more free and fair society. To us it is saying that the people harmed by the status quo are either not real, don’t matter, or that that harm is a good thing.
I aint gonna say every leftist is built the same. There are a lot with very harmful beliefs. But you are lumping everyone together cause you feel their politics are too extreme and erasing all the nuance. And also lumping us in with groups that we hate and have completely different goals, morals, etc. Fascists and communists are not the same just because they are both extreme. Do some communists really blur that line? Yeah, they are called tankies and I fucking hate them.
This is all to say, shitting on people for simply having extreme politics is erasing a lot of nuance and in of itself is propoganda to help support the status quo.
Edit: nvm dude’s a nazi chud pretending to be a centrist. Fucking coward
They try to appeal as though they’re being civil and fair, but it’s just a deception, every time. Right out of the nazi playbook. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who called themselves a “centrist” who wasn’t actually, a fucking nazi, but too much of a pussy to admit it.
Thank you, I appreciate that thoughtful response. You’re on point in a few places. Like yes, politics are an important part of life and I shouldnt invalidate someone’s emotions about them… you put me in my place there, I concede. And maybe im not even centrist. I might be a libertarian.
Im not even who you assume me to be. But its ok. Im not worried about it

Good write up. Unfortunately, it’s pearls before swine.
Dudes a winger, Charlie Kirk supporting incel type.
And theres the other issue with identifying as centrist. Nazis keep using it as a way to hide the fact they are nazis
yup… they always do.
They try to appeal as though they’re being civil and fair, but it’s just a deception, every time. Right out of the nazi playbook. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who called themselves a “centrist” who wasn’t actually, a fucking nazi, but too much of a pussy to admit it.
Yeah I’m giving up on giving people the benefit of the doubt when they say they are a centrist
Edit: they always want to idolize macho men and shit like that yet they are such cowards they gotta slither around and hide. Hypocrites and cowards
