These bullshit Twitter takes are getting old. This is a more realistic interpretation.

Far left: We're going to exterminate entire groups for the sake of "equality"

Far right: We're going to exterminate entire groups for the sake of "purity"

End result = A bunch of people get murdered

Centrists: These both look pretty bad, we just want people's needs to be met

End result = pragmatic governance

If you're someone who hates centrists because they're not as extreme as you then YOU are a part of the problem.

Your “far-left” is the centric, your “centric” are fascist accepting far-right, and your “far-right” is right extreme fascists…

Don’t ban abortion but support families with children more If you really want less abortion and more children..

Well, far left happen to want exterminate groups as well pretty often. NGL, their ends are far much better than of far rights (if we assume communism is achievable and stuff), but they still don't justify the means.

Even the left normalized the false narrative of “far left”. America does not have any “far left” party

[–] ronl2k@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Only right-wingers use the term far Left.

That's not far left IMO, that's just left. This is a recurring problem we have in France too, where medias call "far left" parties that are just left. This is a slippery slope, the one on which Overton window slips towards the (far) right...

Far left is: "We're going to destroy the very concept of private ownership and wealth accumulation"

"... to meet everyone's basic needs"

"..."
"To meet everyone's basic needs, right?"

It's because we lefties say completely justified mean things about so-called 'centrists', and criticizing the literal record of centrism is tantamount to insulting a centrist's identity.

The centrists made up the term so they wouldn't have to face the fact that they're conservatives.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 15 points 1 day ago (12 children)

That's right, the centrists are conservatives and the so-called "conservatives" are really regressives at best, plenty of them fascists.

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 11 points 1 day ago

We don't just call everyone we don't like fascists. But uh, them folks are fascists.

You vote left because you want the best for the general good of society, you vote right because you want what's best for yourself, in particular.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 28 points 1 day ago

Plenty of people also vote right based on hate and fear. They'll vote against there own best interests because of hate and fear.

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 22 hours ago

And then never realise that you voted against what is best for you because you just believe propaganda rather than think logically…

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 29 points 1 day ago (6 children)

The sad thing is, that's not even true.

Most poor world be better off under left wing ideals, yet they vote right wing anyway because they're scared that brown people will steal their crumbs.

You vote right because you want the people you don't like to suffer.

Can we be better than twitter with these bullshit fallacy arguments.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They’re just people who are too weak and dumb to have real opinions and they just want to be in the in crowd
