This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Enlightened centrist thoughts intensify

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (23 children)

Centrism is a sign of a healthy, functioning Democracy. People are allowed to hold nuanced beliefs that don't line up with yours and this "enlightened centrist" bullshit is just pure tribalism from people on the far fringes. You are contributing to creating an "in group" and an "out group" which historically has worked out very well for persons living in Communist and Fascist societies.

You're missing the point of "enlightened centrism". The whole point is that it isn't actually attempting centrism, just a (almost exclusively) far right wing ideas with lipstick on.
