Political survey

@QuixoticSoul I don't know whether to take that image as big brain or hot air 🤔

@ViciDraco

@QuixoticSoul back to grilling with you 🤣

@QuixoticSoul I have to know what a radical centrist is haha how does that work?

@WinterEmix According to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_centrism

But also...

@ViciDraco Lol. That meme perfectly sums up what I think of centrism.

@ViciDraco No, these are enlightened centrists - the wiki entry smacks a bit of enlightened centrism as well. I prefer The Economist's phrasing.

But tbh that's not it really either - and as most things in 2020, it's half a meme anyway.

@WinterEmix In practice it works like this:

Mostly it involves me being smug and laughing at everyone from the stratospheric heights of my intellectual depth. Yes, other radical centrists, too.

@QuixoticSoul Yeah the economist are classical liberals. Free market and social liberalism. They are not dogmatic however and they, for example, gave Thomas Piketty a decent right up.

From a rightist point of view, they are 'globalists' and to me they represent the more liberal end of the capitalist class.

@QuixoticSoul love it
