Why do both sides get so defensive when i tell them i'm a centrist?

Why do both sides get so defensive when i tell them i'm a centrist?

I'm in the middle, how can i possibly be considered a threat?

Because at some point you have to a choose a side on something, and in this climate that appears to be fence-sitting.

You can't be a centrist anymore.

Either you want to exterminate all minorities, or you're a leftist.

One word answer: War.

Nothing wrong with being a centrist as long as you hold actual positions instead of just smugly saying "heh both sides are so stupid"

Your complacency is a shield for the racist haters pick a side you coward

I am a centrist, too. Problem is we live in a political env. where you are either "with us or against us". There is no middle ground.

You are the worst of them all.

At least the other are attempting dialogue and solutions, you just want them to leave you alone to continue with your narcissistic nihilism.

...

because we need you, AMERICA and it's future needs you

...

Everyone is a centrist in their own opinion, that's why we have red and blue.

National socialist are Centerist Authoritarians
hahahahahahahaha no threat

>implying BLM and antifa aren't violent

>Either exterminate all minorites or you're a leftist.
>Easy choice.
RACE WAR NOW!

bullshit. so called "nazis" are only a natural reaction to the leftist marxism (ie antifa) that has taken hold here in our country. Black lives matter is another head of the same hydra.
The right doesn't want a genocide, just borders and continuation of rights and the conservation that America was founded on.

Whats the point of inserting yourself in a political debate if you don't have a position?

Nazis: Pay up, Soros.
Antifa: Pay up, Soros.
BLM: trip da bop blip nop iggy trill nigga tick baw dip muhfukin bix nood
Centrist: I don't understand most things. And I like it that way.

In this thread: Retards pretend they don't know what the radical centre is.

The idea is to make politics so polarizing that you have to pick a side. For instance an Antifa goon would label you a nazi for not falling in line with his political views.
"HOW CAN U NOT SEE THAT THEY ARE RACISTS, YOU MUST BE A NAZI TOO"

A centrist is like a bisexual. Distrusted by all.

Only fag ride the fence. You like posts up your ass, son?

Because you're a libtard and libtards get the bullet too

>Open blinds and look out of window
>See alt-right and antifa fighting outside
>Close blinds and go back to shitposting
Is this centrism?

The "radical" in the term refers to a willingness on the part of most radical centrists to call for fundamental reform of institutions.[3] The "centrism" refers to a belief that genuine solutions require realism and pragmatism, not just idealism and emotion.[4] Thus one radical centrist text defines radical centrism as "idealism without illusions",[5] a phrase originally from John F. Kennedy.[6]

It means you have no conviction and nobody likes a fence-sitter.

inb4 hurr durrr i can see both sides
the only centrists i have a shred of respect for are those that realize this country is being divided artificially by zionist kikes and call it for what it is, not buying in themselves. even then, you would ultimately fall on the right.

I'm not on the left, I'm not in the right, I don't really sit in the middle
I believe that abortion is ok but uncontrolled immigration is a public health crisis
I am a human being, and human beings are fucking complicated
stop picking sides, this isn't sports, this is politics
so lets give ourselves some fucking credit because governing ourselves is fucking difficult enough, let alone other people
k?
k
I'm done

people who say they're centrist are just trying to be safe so that they can hop on to whatever side ends up winning. its a war, pick a side or shut up

Good luck with that Che.

it's more complicated than that, which is why im slow to sum myself so quickly with a side, although im rightwing
mother's have rights over their bodies, ok
but is abortion at 9 months murder, tho?
so maybe for example we agree abortion is ok
but it is also understood that there is murder taking place??

>uncontrolled immigration is a public health crisis

racists who dont understand that theire racists are the worst kind of racists. fucking wow. i am speechless. i literally feel as if i am speaking to literally hitler and it's absolutely shaken me to my core.

oh shit i love his cooking videos

it is most certainly a health crisis and science backs that up... and that's only the first of a multitude of problems due to immigration. go back to plebbit safe space

...

This.

>Not wanting your own recreational nukes

I'm a centrist too but I have no choice but to side with right wingers. For example, I think gays being allowed to marry and do whatever straight people do is fine, but there needs to be an acknowledgement of why homosexuality is looked down upon. However, what lead to gays getting married has then lead to trannies chimping out over the smallest things like pronouns, which lead to pedos openly suggesting that they be allowed to voice their opinions too. Something right-wing people have said would happen even though I hoped it wouldn't.

Nationalism is also understandable and I think it's a great cause, but left wingers turn it into a bad thing while also promoting the same groups who are extremely radical in their own dogma.

I have no choice but to agree with right-wings ideals because left-wing ideals don't keep themselves in check. They never look inward and say "hey maybe this is too much let's roll it back". Only reason I'm not right-wing now is because I swallowed the black pill early and it's too difficult to adjust out of it.

wtf im pro nuclear warhead now

because it means you judge them for being an extremist. besides centrist means nothing. at least say what actual ideology you have, like I'm a moderate liberal or something. centrism isn't an ideology, unless you mean you're apathetic, but that's not centrism.

Satan Leaf gets it.

Thats a bingo. I would be more centrist if the fucking left wasn't a bunch of rabid fucking lunatics foaming at the mouth over what identity cock to suck next before biting it off. Like selling blacks into slavery or selling mentally ill trannies into suicide literally and figuratively.

The right has legitimate grievances with the political/ societal climate but the left are more interested in using mob tactics to label anyone with differing beliefs as Nazis or whatever flavor of the month, while being ignorant of issues that they are really concerned about.

Really this is all just people on both sides yelling at each other over things that they have no real educated opinion about so they have just forgone the idea of discourse in favor of divisiveness.

trump: both sides are to blame

I don't really give a shit. Does that make me a radical centrist too?

Because your just a 90s democrat. "Centrists" are just the overtone windows bitch, and have no greater human behavioural theory behind them. A bland pop-culture product.

Also this. the left cant dial it back because they LARP project and double down when threatened.. It's all idealism. The right is just what isn't the left. I normally think the left does the most good in opposition- but right now that obviously isn't the case

Are you not getting it?

If you don't agree with their leftist crap then you are a nazi.

myself included. I used to be pretty left, but moreso a classical liberal. in many ways i still am. But i have never wholly identified with them, due to the reasons you state, and am being pushed further right with each passing day. Despite it being the work of the jews, i still blame the left for having fell for it. even if both sides are victims to the kikery, at least the right are more respectable in the sense that they don't pander to other, knowingly

Centrists have no convictions and no arguments so they claim to be centrist to somehow give off an impression as if they're smarter then the "herd"

I really don't know why these people call themselves centrists
It would be more proper to call them Narcissists
Because if you tell people you're a centrist you're only doing it out of self-gratification
Patting yourself on the back per say

tell my whats a centrist mate if not a conformist cucked on both sides

Because most people who consider themselves centrists don't support President Trump, since they've been brainwashed to believe he's an extremist, while his policies are by far the best for every American citizen of any President in at least 50 years.

Ending outsourcing of jobs, ending globalist agreements that screw Americans, lower taxes for everyone, securing the borders, deporting illegals, putting judges who respect the Constitution on the Supreme Court, refusing immigration from countries incapable of proper vetting, reducing the cost of health care, and increasing our energy reserves.

Putting the American people first instead of serving the globalist elites like all of our other recent Presidents. A real centrist would support President Trump, the first President who isn't owned by the corrupt establishment of either party in a very long time.

>idealism
that's the word. at heart, all good people are leftists, and would prefer the ideal. but that's not possible in the real world. many on the right would prefer to lefty ideals, but are realists and know that is just isn't possible. an example would be a right winger who would prefer not to have to spend 50% in GDP on military-industrial, but realize we have no other choice if we don't want to be blown off the map by other right wing countries. This is why many who are young and naive are lefts, but grow up and have kids and turn to the right, for continuation of their children's lives versus the plentiful threats abound in this world lookng to take us off the map
this world isn't all sunshine and rainbows
pretending it is here in the US will only lead to us getting btfo
idealism vs realism
idealism is great in theory, but not practical if you want to stay alive
it's a lot like vegetarianism

All countries should adopt the Theoretical approach of the US system- that of limiting government power and promoting individual rights from the tyranny of the majority.
Thats a different paradigm from the right vs left. If it were only this approach that was adopted by the countries, as opposed to the U.N. Nightmare vision of the future, then there'd be no need for any other kind of politics

centrism usually means hedonist

realism flies in the face of idealism for the sake of survival, simple as that.
realists will always triumph over the latter
t. drunk but smart and correct

interesting, as i used to be centrist as well as hedonistc

>When Trump is the only one who's right and everyone else is shitting on him for it

no wait
to further expound
the idealist, when faced with survival, will always succumb to realism

As a centre left person, I can assure you that you're doing the right thing with gays, if you actually believe in the seperaration of church and state. Anybody who wants religious rights needs to grant them to others. As for people who transition? They're a tiny minority of very troubled people. They pose no threat. I leave them alone. I'll happily call someone who presents one gender by the other pronoun, but if someone gets mad at me for "misgendering" the situation, they're a moron who doesn't know how reality works. I call people who look male he, and people who look female she, until I'm corrected.

As for pedos? Nah, those cunts don't get rights. I'm willing to join with anybody. Antifa, nazis, random crowds, and literally kill them. You don't get to rape kiddies. A lot of the population feels this way. Let the poke their heads out of the sand, so we can drag them out by their necks and enact mob fucking justice.

"I've transcended your manufactured dialectic" is far far better than 'im a centrist,' they're gonna chimp out anyway, make it good user

Too weak to pick a side. You'll just join whoever wins.

Same senpai.
I just want all these ideological cunts to fuck off.

>Implying that's a bad way to live

Normally that would be the case, but throw in a generation of enlarged amygdala'd freaks and I reckon that they'd rather die than admit they were mistaken

I hate the far left and far right. Fuck them both, I will be going renegade.

You should see the reaction when I tell them I don't give a fuck about any of this
the left
>OMG HOW DO YOU NOT CARE..
>WHAT ARE YOU AN ANARCHIST...
>HOW DO YOU NOT FEEL THIS...
>HOW CAN YOU SIT BACK
>DONT YOU HAVE FEELINGS OR CARE ABOUT ANYBODY

The right
>AHH FUCK YOU ANARCHIST
>YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WHITE CAUSES
>YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE LEFT
>YOU ARE A HORRIBLE MEMBER OF THE WHITE RACE

and I'm all like
>fuck outta my bubble morons.

who else here
>not care at all not even a little

>At least the other are attempting dialogue

Uhh, pretty sure leftists are actively silencing all attempts at dialogue. At least centrists don't try to stop people they disagree with from speaking.

But what if moderate was a side. And it won.

kek

You're either a Chuckunist or a NaSneed, you can't be in between

+1

centrists roasted, nice one

most people are moderate. Most people believe in giving people basic human rights and all that personal stuff. Its really just about the fiscal issues with moderates.

Commies = trash, Nazis = trash. Fight all you want, but do it in my neck of the woods and it's open season. Both the far left and right hate America and what it stands for.

>I'm in the middle, how can i possibly be considered a threat?

Why would I want to eat a soup with half a spoonful of shit in it more than one with a full spoon?

>Why do both sides get so defensive when i tell them i'm a centrist?
Its not that you are a centrist. Its that you are a disingenuous idiot.
A simple mistake to make I imagine.

...

because you're just a fool wading through life waiting for someone else to take charge

Why do so many Pol people love this channel?

I've literally been subscribed for years and only recently I found out that most of you like it too

>Only reason I'm not right-wing now is because I swallowed the black pill early

You, as an individual, are incredibly powerful. Far more powerful than you can realize. You have the power to change the world if you find the will to use it. If you didn't have such power, then people wouldn't have spent so much time and effort trying to brainwash you.

Failure is a better outcome than never even attempting to do anything.

Time based action is what counts- Sure- use the controls to correct the ship, turn it around or back, then leave it alone when it goes where it should. Young heads and fanatics think in absolutes. Less is more.

Someone literally implied I was a Nazi in a conversation simply because I suggested that there could be legitimate southerners in the protest trying to protect their culture and that we shouldn't just rush to blanket the entire thing as a supremacist rally.

Centrist: I'm just going to wait until all these retards kill each other in the street, then maybe we can finally get something done.

Outstanding Award in Edge. Please take a walk and stop learning QM online.

Filthy neutrals, they make me sick. At least with an enemy you know where you stand. With neutrals, who knows.

Because objectivity is retardation

Centrist simply means not being sure of where you stand, path of least resistance. Believe in something OP and pick a side.

National Socialism is centrist according to this meme

it's not about picking sides, it's about having a consistent set of values. why do you take the positions you do? if you can explain that without contradicting yourself you believe in something. if you can't then you're either dangerously low information or just basing everything on emotions.

There's a big difference between realizing that both sides have some pros and cons while sticking to the side that's more rational and being a fag who wants to suck his own dick and look smart because 'le everyone is stupid! XD'

The left dreams of a world where everyone thinks like them, the right wants this, too.

this is true of any ideology, there is a viral, missionary effect.

I think Centrist, moderate ideology functions the same way; Centrists want everyone to realize the duality nature. I could hear an argument that said...
>'no ideology could ever be unanimous, that's too utopic!'

and id agree, but since all three 'faiths' are utopic in some sense, what would the most ideal of the ideals be?

it seems clear the only honest answer is to be a centrist. Because even if everyone was a centrist, they still would have the healthy kind of conflict because people could take different sides on a situational basis. THAT'S WHAT MOFOS DONT GET ABOUT CENTRISTS. WE ARE DECISIVE, WE JUST DONT ALLOW OUR POLITICAL SCRIPT TO DICTATE OUR DECISIONS. one step at a time.

this, I concur fully.

There is no "in the middle" because its still a position. The actual neutral ground would be being unsure about things

>enlarged amygdala'd freaks
kek
>reckon that they'd rather die than admit they were mistaken
I hope that time won't have to tell. We all share a common threat(.) Not to mention basic needs and current standards of living.

>i'm a centrist
>not associating with the political powe(((s)))
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME!!! PLAY TO THE RULES, BE GUD GOY, REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Only dumb people think National Socialism is an inherently bad thing

this is a perfect example of why centrists are usually just leftists in the closet. the core issue in the gun control debate is whether the individual has the fundamental right to defend himself and his property. saying that you believe in "some" control is implictly rejecting that right.

yop. it is, undeniably, an OPTION. THERE ARE NOT TWO SIDES ALONE.

so funny, leftist philosophy is all about how HURR DURR PEOPLE ARE TOO BINARY AND TRADITIONAL, and then they seek to polarize the world into precisely two groups, thus perpetuating a really nasty binary.

goddamn, i love the grey areas.

all y'all can eat my nuts.

The fact that I've seen people who genuinely believe the bottom of that pic is ridiculous.

When I have to let corporations wreck the environment so I can continue to own guns there's something wrong. Tons of unrelated issues getting roped together just because "you have to pick a side" is fucking stupid.

Too much perspective ;)
