ID: 3 panel comic:

  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”

    I am not seeking validation from any far leftists here, I only make these posts because it’s important for left leaning folks to know where their opinions suck. The far left wants to run the world like a charity project. No one asks to be born, so no one owes anyone anything. People should be humane because those are useful values for societal organization. But some people can weaponize kindness and use it against those who possess it, like those who do so in abusive relationships. There’s near overlap between countries receiving foreign aid and being high in corruption. Should we be taxing the wealthy higher to address a lot of these problems and also threats to democracy? Yes, people on the right and left admit this. But I can’t even take some of the leftist arguments seriously because they lack any understanding of reality, and repeat only average college student arguments. I am bored with this.

      Lmfao, in other words, your only knowledge of leftism is what centrist and fascists have told you, and you’ll take their word without any hesitation or effort to educate yourself on reality, because this is so much easier and more convenient.
