Centrist Intellectuals

What's wrong with being a centrist? It's impossible that leftists are correct about everything. Similarly, it's impossible that right wingers are correct about everything. The risk of being centrist is that you may get the worst from both parties, instead of the best from both parties.

Centrism is fucking cancer and needs to be excised.

You're right, anon. It's actually impossible for leftists to be correct about anything.

Can we please stop hating on centrism? All groups are wrong in their own way which is why I by pick only the things that are good in each. How is this wrong?

Every path has its limitations. No need to start believing one or the other, all that does is put a label on you. That is how wars start.

Exactly. Centrism isn't just "fuck it, I have no beliefs", it's its own set of ideologies and beliefs that some people (including me) are just as zealous about as a nazi fuckwit or a communist half-brain. RADICAL CENTER IS ONLY WAY

>>135650418
As long as you are using facts to back up what you cherry pick there is nothing wrong.

>RADICAL CENTER

Literally the New Balance of political alignments.

Tip: Don't actually tell anyone in real life about this. It's fine when you're roleplaying on the internet, but nobody who actually has a job is going to be able to take you seriously afterwards.

>>135650418
You have to take the good with the bad, if you could just pick and choose everyone would do it.

You think centrists can't also be wrong, and missing things by cherry picking?

people who are centrists are just bluepilled as fuck like first poster. they think the two party system is the extent of the 'system' and that they are so smart to be beating it, never realizing they are in a cage so to speak. they thinking sure as hell is caged

some of you need to stop talking to idiots in person too. for one to think themselves the epitome of political prowess... to be a centrist

>>135649788
Centrism is completely arbitrary. A centrist 50 years ago would be considered a Nazi today.

There you go. Any actual right wing author tldr is that. Evola, Bowden, Hoppe, whoever. Whereas French revolutionary thought created egalitarianism

I thought calling yourself a centrist is just a way of not pissing anyone off? Usually I say I'm centre leaning right, it seems to make the least amount of people hate me

>>135650914
it comes down to the fact that you are interested in beating the 'system', while centrists typically are part of the system. Daily reminder that these leftist fringe political ideas being shown on msm and the views on this board are not practical. A bunch of NEETS on a rp board and the 45 trannies in all of america can't accomplish any of their ideas, thats why centrist are not worried about you people with "strong convictions". The 2 party system is the best system because it forces fringe ideas to conform with everyday mainstream politics. I don't undersatnd why people on either side want to throw yelling matches and hide in their little echo chambers. Take some agency and actually do something. At the end of the day meme magic is not enough. King Donald knew that and he conformed to the republican party, purely for the voterbase. Of course he may share some similarities but I would classify him as an independent. The reason your ideas never go anywhere beside this board is not because the two party system is unfair, its because you have no idea how to take advantage of the system.

>>135650418
Congratulations, you have decided to be unimportant. Pick a side, or your name will be forgotten the day you die.

>>135649788
The problem is that most centrists are soft leftists who use he label to distance themselves from the crazier elements of the left.

Centrism is shit because there's no such thing as an actual center. "Center" is completely arbitrary and based solely on the current zeitgeist. Something that's "centrist" today would be radically extreme just a few decades ago. So all it REALLY means is upholding the status quo. The idea that the status quo is inherently more correct simply because it's the current system is a complete fallacy.

You see this manifest in how the "radical centrists" or skeptics or rationalists or whatever they call themselves behave. Their only criticisms are of tone policing. Multiculturalism and nonwhite replacement immigration are all totally okay... so long as its done slowly and you don't scream "KILL ALL WHITES, INSHALLAH" while doing it.

Well if a nazi was asked where he is politically today, he would say center. And in another 50 years he would say that he's a leftist.

When the political "center" changes place that doesn't mean that those who once identified with the center will move with it

I despise this smuggie. Moderation made fucking civilization, it's in the core of any successful philosophy and it's what separates as from the lesser races. An islamic dictator bleeds his people dry for everything, rapes and destroys his own lands until the end and he has to find new ones. White kings built kingdoms, tended and cultivated them and took in moderation. What's the difference?

Moderation is the difference between jumping on the "good guys" wagon depending on your point of view and supporting them blindly like an idiot or having strong convictions and morals and following them depending on the situation. Yes, centrists may sometimes be retarded, but in the core of the idea of being a "centrist" lies taking back democracy and freedom - not being a slave to whatever brand/corporation/party you were told is "good", but determining the right one.

Why do you think Hollywood, the kike main propaganda machine spent decades pushing the rhetoric of a "good guy" and a "bad guy" (or their equivalent plural versions)? Because from that black and white belief of the world results all of you being easy as shit to manipulate, because all they have to convince you of is that one side is the "good guy".

Seriously, think about it, before the age of Hollywood was art about extremes or was it moderation? Far as I remember all the classic literature I've read doesn't have a set villain and a set hero. They're always more complex and realistic in that regard.

I'm no geometry expert, but it seems like it may be difficult to continue to describe politics in this left vs. right paradigm if you're going to claim there is no center.
