Funny how there's a bunch of people in the comments essentially just unironically repeating the meme: "Well this must be wrong because I believe this and I'm actually a centrist!!!"
That's the point, buddy. You're the butt of the joke. The idea that the far-left and far-right are equally bad or warrant the same amount of scrutiny and criticism is a right-wing belief.
To make the point more obvious instead of using "left" and "right" look at specific policy beliefs that the left right have:
-
Equality across social and demographic groups vs. State-enforced racism, sexism and other kinds of bigotry
-
Abolishment of bourgeois property and money vs. Complete privatization, oligarchy and corruption
-
Globalization, peaceful relations and a right to live where you want vs. Complete isolationism and xenophobia
-
Right to self-governance and no government with a monopoly on violence vs. State sanctioned violence against those considered undesirable or traitors
Hopefully I don't need to explain which one is obviously worse.
What does right wing mean to you?
They are both bad in their own ways just one is the lesser of two evils.
But to me both sides suck
Pug is the centrist don't you get it? It's a jab at TanKieS being mean to democrats
I like to come into these comments because it gives me a fresh batch of new "centralists" to tag.
What if I'm a centrist insisting both sides are garbage?
You're literally who the meme is about.
Oh it goes both ways then, cool. I'm okay with that.
More cope from the genocide voter.
Sorry your favorite genocider lost, asshole.
You guys whined under every gaza threat that trump was so much worst and that "at least we dont have kamala /s i'm very smart". Then, a week later, i see the same user saying shit like "meh palestinians deserve to get killed". Unmoderated of course.
See u/Dead_or_alive for example.
Summary: you are the centrist who compromised and only wanted a little genocide. You are in the meme
Sorry your favorite genocider lost, asshole.
Yeah, I'm sorry the less genocidal option lost. Sorry that you think that more genocide was preferable. You'll get to enjoy more genocide, it'll give you good feelies for your left-purism, I guess.
This is some crazy doublethink shit. It's clear just looking at the inconsistent interpretation from all the top-level comments that 'centrist' is a blanket term that both describes 'centrist' positions and also 'left/right radicals'. The only consistent is whether the subject is subjecting the in-group to criticism
The same user constantly harps on 'far-left' progressives complaining about democratic positions, and calls himself a centrist.
This is just standard 'out-group' gatekeeping. "If you're not with us, you're against us" shit.
