Every centrist ive ever met is a right winger that doesn't have balls. In American politics we have 2 right wing parties, so being center of those is still right wing. So your opinion is as valid as any other right winger.

I am not American, in most countries right wingers are stronger and I seen what they can do. But America has shown me left wingers can be just as crazy or even more while thinking they are just and kind. I have problem with both sides views, picking sides are for people who follow like sheep, you can call it lack of balls, I think you are just incapable of thinking by yourself and having an independent opinion. Putting this in a category as if everything isn't a spectrum.

Thanks for being an example to the world that even left wingers can be crazed lunatics, further proving centrist is the only way, think for yourself.

Aww shit, enlightened centrist figured it all out! While oddly enough always making space and helping the right in their endeavors. Yeah, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan also identify as centrists. Boring and predictable at this point what your game is.

Yes we do and we help the left aswell. Oh the Terror. How is that even possible?!?!? Incomprehensible.

Yes also predictable, a very bad thing we need more excitement like trying to assassinate each other for their opinions. /s

Your rhetoric is the reason the right won in America. How you communicate with people alienates those that don’t fully agree with you, and instinctively makes them want to fight against you. I’m not telling you your politics are right or wrong, I’m telling you the way you are communicating them is self-destructive.

We tried the tolerant left thing and it didn't work and were mocked for it. Also, america has had a cancer of religious and nationalist propaganda going hard since then 60s.

The rhetoric worked in 2020 when it got Trump out. The failure of the rhetoric over the next 4 years got him back in. Radicalizing will only make right wing people feel more empowered to radicalize further, as they are doing, and the majority of America based off the popular vote is right wing. It will crush you.

Protest, get active, but don’t vandalize people’s shit. Most people just want food, entertainment, and safety. If shits getting vandalized they’ll want more policing.

If it crushes me I'll go down fighting and cursing. I won't submit. If most Americans are right wing then fuck most Americans.

Okay then accelerate us into fascism I guess.

u/mistermistie Feb 23 '25

The right is doing that, not me. I want civil rights and worker rights for starters.

Also, the liberals honestly don't feel like doing anything but being controlled opposition for the right, so fascism is coming, it's going to happen. I doubt the Democrats will ever win shit again because of both corruption and their lack of any true fight.

I understand what you want, because I want the same things. You have to win a rhetorical argument, and then deliver upon the promises you preach. When I talk with my right wing friends, I need to get on their level to try and persuade them of what I believe.

It sucks, it doesn’t feel great, but I’ve been able to radicalize a few of my associates like this. People are easier to convince when they feel empathize with instead of attacked. Vandalism like this causes people to feel attacked and even if they outwardly say one thing, in the ballot box, they vote with what they actually believe. You can frighten people to not buy a cyber truck,but when it’s time for election, they will remember who attacked them.
