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")

I want to see it all burn. Then when people don’t have all their comfort and security, when we need each other as human beings, go from there.

All your labels are garbage.

@BrokenAbyss We've tried that in 1922-45 and you can ask the average European person living through those decades how they feel about "maybe we should burn it all to the ground and rebuild comfort and security from scratch"

I call out people for what they are. If you want to believe that actual far-right authoritarians are not far-right authoritarians with fascistic tendencies, feel free to, just don't expect me to do the same and not call their "akshually it's both sides" show out when it's tried against me.

@Elessar here we go with the labels again… you don’t see what you’re causing by labeling each other. You’re the ones starting the fire, fanning the flames 😆

@BrokenAbyss Or maybe, you're projecting and it's actually you the one seeding despair and divisiveness, by enabling authoritarianism with your misdirected anger 🤪
