[quote=@Dynamo Frokane] [@Dinh AaronMk]Didnt take much to get you riled up :D [@Vilageidiotx] why are you in the closet about your hammer and sickle, doggo [/quote] Because A: I don't commit to shit because I don't want my political views to become part of my identity. When that happens, people stop thinking. B: I have major hangups with Marxism. Shit, the main reason you see me defending it is that I think most negative reactions to it are dumb and knee-jerk. I think that centrist neo-liberalism amounts to putting fingers in ear about current problems, and right-wing nationalism can only lead to another world war, and I think of right-wing libertarianism about as seriously as you do, so that pretty much just leaves the far left as the only place where an answer to how we advance from this stage of society to the next might come from. That would require the far-left to stop fucking around of course... So I'm more of an Anarcho-Pessimist really. I think the answer is on the left, but I think we will fail to find the answer and everything will get fucked up. [quote] Im trapped in a thread full of wackos, am I the only one here who is a proponent of moderate authoritarianism and generally centrist views? It seems like everyone here who isnt an Alt Right sympathising Freezepeach warrior is a Oppression Gold Medalist or a boot stomping commie. Lord help us all. [/quote] The curse of living in interesting times. Right now being a centrist is kinda like being with the crew of the Titanic when they find out about the iceberg, and as the argue about which direction to turn the wheel, you say "We should just keep going straight and plow through the thing because we were already going straight before." If it makes you feel any better, there is probably going to be a centrist resurgence soon enough. Populism is getting bad press now, what with Trump and the Alt Right and Antifa.
