What do you guys think of centrists? I think that other than anti-idpol leftists, post-left anarchists and lolberts centrists are the most tolerable people to talk to. Who else do we have? Woketards? Radlibs? Christcucks? Literal fascists? Like, everyone else is kinda dumb and insane at least in some way, there isn't much to choose from. And centrists are the most popular political faction after woketards/radlibs and Christcucks/fascists.

If by centrist you mean wonderbread apolitical, they are fine. They just default to centrism.
People that self-identify as centrists tend to be fascist except maybe they're fine with gay marriage or abortion, etc.

I think I might have a different conception of centrists to OP, but the ones I encounter are the most insufferable idiots to have political exchanges with. A "centrist" is someone that has been Fully Propagandized. They have bought so fully into the mass media/political machine consensus that they have become ideologically committed to avoid seeing the world in any other way. Any notion that their heavily propaganda-reinforced world view might be wrong triggers massive cognitive dissonance and so they're always the quickest to dismiss you.

No idea why you would consider lolberts to be centrists, they're the most extreme advocates for corporate tyranny. At least people on the far right (lolberts) know that something is wrong and are willing to engage with others who think something with wrong, you can have quite productive conversations and even ally with them on specific issues.

Centrists by comparison are people who think not only that the Democrats and Republicans are acceptable, but that good governance is when they balance each other out, and politics is really all about politeness, respectability, etc. Centrists tend to be people too insulated from economic consequences to have any reason to consider alternatives. Remember that in a time of crisis the center never holds.

If you can't pick a side you're a coward.

You're not entitled to my labor value or solidarity. Solidarity is earned.

It is fundamentally wrong to bring life into the world. Yet people want to preserve life. These two point of views are diametrically opposed.

I do not.

If you pick a side you are also a coward because you gave in to peer pressure. The true gigachads are those who are not afraid to go their own way and shift allegiances when it suits them. It's neither centrism nor campism.

That's fair. But you can still ally with centrists on culture war, no?

Also, can you blame the centrists for always choosing the middle ground when both sides are full of crazies and when moderate opinions often appear to be the more nuanced ones as a consequence of that? Culture war, AI, even immigration and wars are very, VERY polarizing topics where each side uncritically supports a certain position. It's understandable how one's kneejerk response to it all will be believing that the horseshoe theory is correct. After all, how many people even know about anti-idpol leftists? Seriously.

No its not that's just how life works. There are no wrongs or rights in the natural world.

That's retarded, there is a correct side based on the available evidence.
