Centrism is often relative.

Someone who is a ‘centrist’ between the far-right GOP and the centre-right Dems is probably just a shy Republican.

Someone who is a ‘centrist’ by the perceptions of Lemmy could be anyone who isn’t a devotee of Mao, depending on which part of Lemmy you’re talking to.

PugJesus,

They won’t suffer (or have convinced themselves they won’t suffer) under Christofascism.

PugJesus,

WOAH! You can’t just talk about CONSEQUENCES! That’s just trying to THREATEN people into VOTING the way you want them to!

PugJesus,

No, no, I’ve been assured archomrade is just SO far left that they can’t help but proudly repeat fascist talking points all day, every day!

PugJesus,

Damn, I think I must’ve gotten my accreditation from a degree-mill.

PugJesus,

Don’t worry - even if they were pushing harder for better, the moment they had a chance of their chosen candidate winning, you’d swap to “NOT GOOD ENOUGH” and return to simping for the fascist. :)

This makes sense because of books. Look it up!

I Read Some Theory™ and now I am ready to oppose to the death every movement to the left of the status quo EXCEPT those which match my policy preferences EXACTLY (or promise to give me really tasty leather boots to lick).

PugJesus,

Yeah. It’s been fucking insane, especially since Citizens United.

PugJesus,

I’m not keen on the philosophy of accelerationism but

PugJesus,

Nah, I actually understand what goes into building a revolution. That automatically disqualifies me from any revolution under the timescale being proposed here.

PugJesus,

Oh, yes, typically it involves literal decades of building the infrastructure to execute such a thing.

The spark doesn’t matter if you haven’t even prepared the kindling.

PugJesus,

YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN SPARED

Don’t worry, I punch right often. You’ll forget about this incident too as soon as it’s convenient for you to do so, though, just like you’ve forgotten every other time.

PugJesus,

If memory serves, the bullets often disintegrated into shrapnel in the process of curving out of the barrel, which is probably a mite inconvenient in most situations.

It’s neat, but I wouldn’t want to bet my squad’s survival on it, that’s for damn sure.

PugJesus,

There are two options to my thinking:

  1. The cheat was once wealthy, and being stripped of his worldly possessions and humiliated in the arena was considered enough.
  2. As the legal status of combatants in the arena was generally considered to be unfree/enslaved, the fact that he was made into a slave was bad enough (or they sent him to the mines afterwards to work him to death).

Can’t imagine they’d pass up on an opportunity to have him eaten in front of a roaring crowd if they were just gonna kill him!

PugJesus,

Eversor Assassins, drugged-up hyper-aggressive supersoldiers.

PugJesus,

I’m sure our brave hero will be fine. What’s the worst that could happen?

PugJesus, (edited )

it really sounds like that voter (or that group of voters) effectively have no choice.

Welcome to being part of a small minority in a democracy; sorry that democracy isn’t utopian and that changing minds requires time and effort. “I want a leader who agrees with all of my positions but I don’t want my positions to have to be popular or supported by a broad swathe of the population to achieve that” is more vanguard politics stuff; democracy isn’t really your speed.

PugJesus,

Oh, cool, I was hoping my experiences on Lemmy were just a series of elaborate hallucinations.

PugJesus,

I don’t remember hardly any of her campaign positions

Yeah, that tracks.
