Man, that low IQ but high effort required to try to demonize people closest to the center. Lol!
I guess all ~~people~~ domestic terrorists in the center must believe the left and the right are both correct. Wait... both incorrect..? Correct about some things and not others or vice versa..? Wait which is it again?
Tell ya what , why don't you whingers from the fringes just throw some more "high quality memes" at it till you got it all figured out.
Seems like a great use of your time and then both you lefties and righties can bond about their common enemy, ~~people~~ Satan's Minions in the center, you know, like the way twins would bond over it.
π€‘ show.
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I tend to distrust anyone quoting this, mostly because they're often the exact same kind of all talk no action white politics preacher, just from a self proclaimed leftist position of feeling morally righteous about both sides being the same instead of a self proclaimed centrist position of feeling apathetic about both sides being the same.
Fundamentally the same kind of take that can only possibly come from a place of privilege, just in a different coat of paint.
Ah yes, MLK Junior, the famed preacher from privilege.
Not him the people quoting it, literally said it in the comment.
What have you done with your life?
About as much as anyone else my age?
You wrote a lengthy rant because a meme hurt your feelings. I donβt think you should be lecturing anyone about using their time productively.
Feelings hurt, eh? You don't really know how things work, do you bud?
Why defensive? How about sharing which policies you like?
Lol. For yourself, and others not paying attention, here's a recap.
The original post here isn't actually about any particular policy, it's about trying to throw shade at people from the center, and possibly imply some/all the woes of the world are the fault of centrist. Some might consider it offensive, or somewhat of an attack. A lot or a little, doesn't matter, an attack none the less.
Then I posted to show how people who choose to blame people with more centered views are, in fact, dipshits. Monkeys flinging shit instead of taking any kind of real action to change what they feel is wrong in society. And I'll add, probably too frightened to actually take their true enemy head-on, and so then naively thinking that a centrist would somehow be more likely to roll over and agree, the easier fight. A hilariously misguided thought.
And after my internet comment, a reply to an attack on a select group of society, the Einsteins come out of the woodwork and ask genius questions like, "wHy deFenSiVE?"
It's pretty comical π
