    Interesting how everyone seems to think this tweet from 2018 seems to refer to th situation in Gaza in 2023.

      It seems to be Lemmy in general when dealing with Centrism or Independents. Despite very little knowledge, they are very excited to tell you the things that you think.

        other areas of Lemmy have been alright for me.

        here however, they just repeat the brain rot “Enlightened Centrist” meme with absolutely 0 arguments being made. very lame and simple minded “politics” being done over here!

    Are you 'murican? I don’t think the rest of the world agrees on any of the US’s “definitions” of left, right and liberal. From a European POV, the US democrats are really, really far to the right. Sanders might be leaning toward the center. The republicans are a strange mixture of libertarian regarding economical matters and very very right-wing/intrusive on personal matters. Whenever someone even mentions/comments other people’s sexual orientation and identity I automitcally assume they are creep that wants to sniff other people’s bedsheets. How can you be partly libertarian and also creepily nazi-intrusive? US-republican invention I can’t wrap my head around, that is.

    That’s not the center’s position. That’s the position of people pretending to be center.

    It’s more like:

    Left: "Let’s destroy people’s livelihoods with higher taxes on small businesses and also force people to do things they don’t agree with. "

    Center: “Um, that’s not a good idea. Let’s not do either of those things.”

    Right: “Yeah, that’s right! Let’s commit genocide and make it easy for murderers to get weapons.”

    Center: “No, that’s way worse! What the hell?”

    Left: “That’s it, if you don’t agree with us, you’re the enemy!”

    Right: “Exactly!”

    Center: …
