  anyone i’ve ever met claiming to be a centrist was in reality uninformed politically and using the label as a shield for their similarly uninformed takes.

    That’s the joke. There is no center in the west. As the general political spectrum is inherently right.

  we’re centrists. we hold the political center between anarchism and Marxism-Leninism.

  Is that an inside joke? Because outside of Hexbear and maybe 1930s Catalonia, “between anarchism and Leninism” is extreme left.

    Answering genuinely, yeah it is lol

    That being said, what is considered the “political center” varies a lot from place to place, a lot more than just 1930s Catalonia.

    We’ve moved the Overton Window. Sorry I don’t make the rules.

    According to fascists, sure. Just because fascists call us extreme left doesn’t mean we aren’t actually centrists.
