Social centrism ≠ traditional centrism

Yeah and it's always the others who are toxic and populist, right?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

I may be toxic and populist, depending on who you ask, but I'm not a right-winger hiding behind a thin curtain of 'centrism'.

They’re not political, they just wantt to see common sense policies on immigration (for brown people) and crime (for brown people).

Seems like the left don't approve of common sense.

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 minutes ago

It's common sense from an outsider perspective that any organization that expects children to pledge allegiance to it 3000 times before adulthood is loaded with propaganda and the kids that graduate from that aren't going to have proper common sense.

And just because other countries aren't as obviously villainous about it doesn't make their standardized textbooks and their corporate media (much of it imported from the propaganda empire above) that much less propagandistic.

So it's common sense that common sense is tainted by decades of propaganda, and actually understanding something means unlearning what they taught you and looking with fresher eyes.

So you're right, common sense is for chumps, and that's just common sense.

Ah yes, the classical "you're either with us or against us"

This is false.

I feel like most people here are american, which would explain this point of view

As a centrist, I approve with this message. An actual centrist does not compromise with nazis.
