Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

Right: Let's do genocide
Left: Let's not do genocide
Center: Guys, you're gonna have to compromise, let's just do /some/ genocide
Right: I guess I can live with that for now
Left: No
Center: See, this is why no one likes the left, you guys are the real extremists, smh
Which genocide are we centrists getting accused of pandering to this time? And in my personal opinion, both sides suck and there are too many on both sides trying to fuel the rift of hate and isolation. Both allow the actions of a few people be a judgement of the whole people. But yes. The centrists are to blame
Even though you're not even claiming to be a liberal, but a proud centrist (lmfao, clown), I think if you actually cared, these could still be applied to answer your "question" (you clearly don't care and aren't asking because you actually want to know, and these links aren't really for you, but if you ever feel like taking your head out of your ass, they might be a good place to start):

TL;DR
First things first, I haven't insulted you or talked down to you, I would appreciate the same.
Secondly, what do you know about ME other than our minimal interaction on the internet? You make a judgement call for a few sentences and that's just fine and dandy?
Third, I do care in my own individual way. Why can't we look inside a single group and root out the individual bad seeds. You think every centrist wants to enable genocide? That's a really closed off perspective.
I acknowledge the history in those articles you gave. Thank you for those BTW. But in this day and age, things aren't so black and white. It's difficult for people to make changes for the better while being accused of being a fascist, or a clown, or an enabler. Every single day there is evidence that the individual should be looked at, not who they associate or affiliate with. In my opinion people don't even get the chance to condemn before they have the exact same label that their counterpart has.
No. You don't need to listen to every statement the other side has to say. That's ridiculous and if that was expected, then that completely does away with free thought and fascist.
No. Not everything needs to be compromised. Nothing should be compromised when it comes to basic human rights and needs ((that includes healthcare (physical and mental) housing, food, education.
Still consider myself a centrist. Sorry if that offends you
