Why does being a centrist warrant so much hate...

Why does being a centrist warrant so much hate? I tell people I'm a centrist and don't care about most political issues and they just call me a pussy. I just wanna stay out of it.

it makes both sides seethe because they don't really have a foundation to attack you from
other than the laughably pathetic "if you're not with us you're against us" shtick

probably bc being a centrist in Australia means being very reasonable.
you are racist, but have arguably the best way of doing healthcare. you are pro environment, but not absolute retards about it.
pretty much every other country's overton window is completely fucked

the center is constantly moving so what it really means is you are just a pussy who has no values outside of just wanting to agree with everyone.

Because you take the worst elements of the left and combine it with the worst elements of the right and you've got yourself a faggot with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Nah, being a centrist between the two major parties here means supporting trade with china always.

They are angry mostly because you are on the side that suffers less where they put all their eggs in one basket and saw little return.

You aren't wrong for staying out of it but the only thing to know is even in the middle you will have a leaning.

Because you deny this most fundamental lie that poisons life, they are envious

Unless you're wealthy and powerful already, getting involved in politics is a waste of effort.

The world is full of vooters and footsoldiers, pawns, basically. If you're just a boring pleb, you're best of focusing your energy on yourself. Take the Zig Forums pill.

Immigration is a good example. I don't want to be on the extreme side of "YEAHHH KILL EM" but I don't want to be on the other side either, where immigration is unchecked and you let everyone in. Why is it such a bad idea to take some from column a and some from column b? I believe that most political issues are bound to keep being a problem if you go too far to one side of the political spectrum. In other words... Can we all just get along and grill?

>the side that suffers less
he isn't taking a side, he is in the center

>Left
>Right
Do you enjoy being a brainlet?

yea see this is what i'm talking about. in most other countries on the issue of immigration, the overton window varies from "only legal immigration which is great" to "open borders."
in that case being a centrist would be idiotic

Centrism pushed me to National Socialism.
It's really the only way.

Correct answer.

There are a few centrists like myself that have a mix of left and right wing views that don’t fit into the standard narrative, however pussies like you who say they just don’t care about politics are just trying to hide from your own personal truth in case it offends someone

everyone was a centrist in Australia for the last 25 years because there was no recession and the Labour Party and Liberals morphed into the same thing with trivial differences
this year has been fucking nuts though and a lot people have been pushed to the Right and Left
One Nation and the Greens are both going to do well next election

>extreme side of "YEAHHH KILL EM" but I don't want to be on the other side either, where immigration is unchecked and you let everyone in.
those are more strawmen than legitimate positions

Because the extreme on each side are braindead retards. The left is showcasing theirs at the moment.
But then whenever i think about going full Zig Forums I see a bunch of useful idiots whose only idea of success revolves around Hitler. I dont even know which of them are false flagging at this point, cause glorifying the Nazis is exactly what ((they)) want you to do to dismiss every other reasonable argument you may have.
Is it really that fucking hard to pick anyone else as a hero faction except the perfect strawman that the left uses to brandish anyone who disagrees with them as racist boogeymen.

Centrism in western countries is extremism. It means you support open borders and radical ethnic and cultural change in one single generation.

The average centralist doesn't even know they're a centralist. They're mostly oblivious to what is going on in the world beyond what they see in passing on the news before loading up Netflix to watch some superhero show.
Centralists aren't hated for that. It's the loud mouths who scream "Both sides are bad! I'm a centralist and am above it all!" that piss off both sides. They shit on everyone and are surprised that the net result is a negative reaction on a two front war they created for themselves.

As the center we are a perpetual thorn in the side of the fringe. You will be accused of "fence sitting" for not making extremeist statements on either side. They will cry and bitch and moan about how the center is stopping them from achieving their goals. Political extremists hate the United States and the centrists are the most loyal patriots around. Both left and right want nothing more than to destroy the union but they can't while so many people are centrists. They want to radicalize you, it doesn't matter what side. Unironically the most counter culture thing you can do today is be an apolitical patriot who supports no cause other that of our great union.

>It means you support open borders
No, it doesn't. The way that I interpret centrism is that I am open to any and all political ideas and will hear anyone out. Doesn't mean I think they make any sense or raise a good, but I will still listen to them nonetheless. Whenever looking at people like Adolf Hiter or Karl Marx throughout history I don't like to look at them as being "left"wing or "right" wing, I just look at their ideas as being rational or not.

>Because the extreme on each side are braindead retards.
>enlightened centrism
yes because we live under the best system with the best laws and the best culture. Anyone that wants that to change any of those is just dumb because they don't understand how things are currently the best right now, in June 2020, in my nation/culture. Until a couple decades later when things might change and then that will be the best time, whatever that change is.

>Because the only way to better the system is to dive head first in the shallow end of extremist ideologies.

>Why does being a centrist warrant so much hate?

it doesn't, most people are centrists (aka normal)

radicals attempts to use the false dilemma fallacy in hopes to shame some centrists into going their side

It works 0% of the time lmao

Enlightened centrism is enlightened because it recognizes that your retarded attempt to create some kind of a package deal of politics, "just pick your label to tape on your own forehead and you will know the "correct" answer to every issue", is fucking retarded.

Ever heard of nuance and critical thought? God i fucking hate you pretentious idiots.

No.

It means that you may be pro life; anti-mass migration, pro gun control, anti big government

Every single topic is a different topic

low IQ radicals subscribe to ideology packages, you know 1 thing about them, you know it all
e.g. pro abortion = anti-borders = pro-gun control = pro big taxes

centrist = I think, therefore I am
radicals = I'm left/right, therefore I am

I know exactly what you mean. Man oh man do I love burgers. Quality hamburgers. I don't know what all the hullabaloo is all about, but I pray to God that everyone is safe because molotovs are terrifying.

I am glad there are people out there that haven't yet been taken in by the retarded package deal politics trend that is going around nowadays.

Because centrists are the true chads and these virgins know it. Not caring about politics that much, and just improving yourself and living your best life, leads the centrist to ubermenchood. He doesn't sin, because he doesn't care. While radicals tend to self-improve because of some higher ideal or duty, the centrist self-improves because he enjoys it. Ask losers and degenerates if they have a hard political stance, and they always do. Ask a natural chad, and he will always tell you that politics are shit, or he doesn't care, or he is somewhat of a centrist.

For me it's the opposite, being a radical centrist the lefties and righties know I would have them all out on trains if I could. Then I'd build my centrist utopia.
