  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks “wait a second-- why’d I end up in hell??”

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: “because centrism enables fascism”

    centrists are close to the status quo common sense view.

    the status quo is soon-to-be-mask-off-fascist neoliberal capitalism. which is very much right wing. which makes them (inadvertently or not) right wing.

    they are even if they dont understand politics at all so they dont even know exactly what they believe in as long as their support ends up going to them.

    you can be slightly left from right, that doesnt fundamentally change.

      Problem is accepting the reality would mean they have to confront the fact that they’re on the wrong side of it, so they will do everything in their capabilities not to.
