A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.
The person asks "wait a second-- why'd I end up in hell??"
The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: "because centrism enables fascism"
I'm gonna be honest this is a dumb way to view these issues. "You're either with me or against me" just fuels an "us vs them" mentality that leads to hate and division more than anything. It shows that you'd rather label people as "the enemy" than try to understand other perspectives. Also this is the bike cuck guy. Just saying.
No it doesn't.
"Everyone who doesn't have my political opinions is going to hell"
☹️
Its almost as if keeping the oposition divided is the point of these posts.
Centrists are not the opposition, they're conservatives that don't like being called conservatives.
Yeah, and made out of straw. We'll gather votes like this for sure!
Yep, currenr conservative ideals are "fuck the poor, fuck black peiple, fuck trans people, fuck women, fuck gay people, fuck anyone that isn't a rich white cishet male". Hard to be an actual centrist with that shit...
Broken political systems enable fascism. The lie that the US has a strong constitution and political system has been revealed.
In the US you get 1/3 of the electorate and ypu get everything. In the US you appoint political judges from 2 parties and control everything. In the US every election is between 2 parties, there is no other option. In the US the 2 parties gerrymander constituencies to give themselves perpetual power. In the US small states have disproportionate power in the senate and the presidency. In the US the president can make laws on a whim.
Centerists aren't the problem. The entire US system is the problem. And they have gaslit you to believe that the only option is to play the game their way and pick the lesser evil. The actual only solution is to tear the whole lot down and start again. Reform would be ideal, but revolution may by the only realistic way of doing it the way things are going.
The opposition blaming each other for the fascists behaviour is part of how fascists get away with it.
Inaction against injustice enables fascism. Centrists are more often inactive against injustice, but not always.

You mean a surprised looking Shen. That's his self-insert character in his comics.
Also known as Bike Cuck
Haha, yeah! He's really pissed that people keep posting the bicycle emoji to all his messages in his Facebook Messenger chat.
all that it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing
those who do nothing are evil's greatest allies.
Yeah. I voted third party in 2020, which effectively did nothing.
I did not make the same mistake twice, good did something this time.
You can be on the fence about anything, but remember the devil owns the fence.
I'm not centrist because I'm on the fence, I'm centrist because I hold both leftwing and rightwing ideologies
And you’re okay with one side openly calling for violence against others and destroying society for the benefit of a few?
Wouldnt each side accuse the other of that specifically whilst believing their own side doesn't?
I'm guessing that's the point of the question.
you’re okay with one side openly calling for violence against others
Absolutely? Free Luigi.
destroying society for the benefit of a few
Nope, that's not generally something I support
it's not a good place to sit.
with enough pressure the fence becomes a jagged edge that can cut you in half.
It's almost as bad as being so dug into your belief system that you would rather let fascists win then compromise.
