They can't. That would break the illusion of being an "enlightened centrist."
I.E. votes right wing, sees themselves as slightly more moderate, but sympathizer and defender of the far right and Nazis.
Or one of the many foreign troll farms found to be pushing the "enlightened centrist" narrative.
i'm by no means any kind of centrist or right leaning and i do have very strong opinions about nazis. but free speech on the internet is a very important thing, while i also believe hate speech should be censored.
tl;dr, conflicting opinions != Nazi, dumbass.
It's not the conflicting opinions. It's your lack of commitment to your own professed opinions. You literally stated you believe hate speech should be censored. But all your arguments to this point are that they should not. Where is your consistency?
it's almost like i have two opinions that conflict each other...
That's cold cognitive dissonance. And it is not something to be proud of or a good thing.
