    Why does everybody online insist on misusing “centrist” and “moderate” when they’re talking about spineless, bitch-ass accomplices? An actual centrist in America in 2024 would be very progressive relative to most of the country. It’s a good place to be.

      They attack centrists to maintain the two party divide. If you don’t agree with one side, you are seen as an ally of the other.

      I am mostly euro-centrist. In America, I would be far left.

        Unfortunately, large sections of the Fediverse are slowly turning into bubbled echo chambers, each enforcing their own purist “correctness”.

        They’re throwing anybody with remotely different opinions out the window whilst slowly shifting their overton window off into fantasy land.
