  Here is a great example of the “if you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality: theguardian.com/…/centrism-insidious-bias-unjust-…

  Reasonable views being cancelled:

  Bari Weiss: A former opinion editor and writer at The New York Times, Weiss is known for her centrist views, often critiquing both the far-left and far-right. In July 2020, she resigned from the newspaper, citing a hostile work environment and alleging that her centrist stances led to bullying by colleagues. ​

  Example of extremes people will go to silence the moderates…

  Stefan Gelbhaar: A member of Germany’s Green Party, Gelbhaar, associated with the party’s more centrist “Realo” wing, was forced to withdraw from the federal election race following false sexual harassment allegations. An investigation later revealed that the accusations came from a fictitious persona created by a local Green official, leading to internal tensions within the party.

    As a German I’m very familiar with the Gelbhaar case actually and it doesn’t have the slightest thing to do with centrism.

    I’ll look into the others when I’m home later.
