Nearly every damn time I ask self-labeling "centrists" to motivate, with examples, how "both sides are exactly just as bad" I'm faced with silence

(straight after brutally firing 50% of the workforce of his recently acquired business lol, so much for "kindness")

Centrists are like the toxic positivity people. Like saying "ohh please don't be violent 🥺" to people protesting on the streets about their basic rights. If I'm violent, then what do you call the state, the cops, the banks etc 😂 Yeah we forgot to beg the government to pay us more than the minimum wage for doing a dangerous job, to send them gifts and ask nicely to treat minorities fairly etc. Because that would work.

@HannibalAteMeOut They're the political world equivalent of those who go like "yeah r@pe is bad, but it's also actually her fault because she dresses like a sl_t"

@Elessar A good analogy, especially since some people still think that way, too.
