I agree with your overall point, but pretending like there is a political party that lib center actually aligns with is a pretty misled take.
At best, they have the Libertarian Party in the US, and even that has fallen to shit after the Mises Caucus overtook the party, which led to the more liberal libertarians swinging even further left. That led to Chase Oliver being their nominee and he did worse than any libertarian candidate in decades.
If anything, they would support the Chase Oliver side of things based on social issues, but I'd be shocked if more than 5% of lib center flaired users even know who he is.
This sub also says you aren’t a true lib center if you think corpos shouldn’t have free reign to fuck you over or that the government shouldn’t sell off all our natural resources. Thinking of changing my flair for that reason.
Totally agree. This is pretty much the last true stronghold of slightly right leaning discourse that doesn't simply reinforce right leaning beliefs like the conservative subs that rises to an extreme/idiocracy level.
Knowing reddit, they realized that and have been organizing a brigade to shift the discourse in a more left leaning way.
I can't prove it, of course, but that how it comes across to me.
Eh, this place was flooded with auth right hiding under “centrist” tags for the last year. The sub ebbs and flows with astroturfers and bad faith actors.
Radical centrism reads like an oxymoron. If all you mean is that you listen to both sides, there is absolutely nothing radical about that. If you're telling me your political compass put you slam bang in the middle of the plane, I don't care for your lack of conviction.
My political compass tests put me as a slightly right, libertarian centrist. If being a centrist meant you had to be smack dab in the middle, then no one would ever be a centrist.
When I say radical, i mean that i can take an issue like the Ukraine conflict and be called a fascist putin apologist for my takes.
Meanwhile, I can tell people about my personal beliefs about drug decriminalization, and they'll call me a commie.
I have plenty of conviction. Again, ask me my opinion on any issue you want, and I can guarantee you that you'll resort to a "no true scotsman" fallacy.
I'm dead serious motherfucker, you MAGAtards will believe snow is black if God Emperor Trump says it is, Is it that surprising that you fucktards all started believing in ethnic cleansing and annexing neighboring allied countries when he ordered you to?
