We’re the good guys, they’re the bad guys. Isn’t it?

      “Oh look an Enlightened Centrist post. I thought you morons all stayed with Reddit.”

      Thank you for proving my point. And in such a colorful way!

        The prevalence of the Enlightened Centrism meme shows just how many people think the world is black and white. They can’t imagine a tertiary opinion that isn’t a ridiculous compromise between 2 extremes (e.g. Let’s give gay people half of their rights) so they characterize open-minded people that way

          Let’s give gay people half of their rights

          That you think of this as the example of compromise really explains where you mind is.

              Yes, did you?

              You talk of being reasonable but posit the most unreasonable position and claim it’s as proof that others are unreasonable.

              You’re completely full of shit.

              Meanwhile, please show me a truly centrist path to the battle for rights. I would love to hear what a person like you sees as a reasonable outcome that somehow pleases those who deserve something unalienable and those who wish to obliterate those who fight for something unalienable.

        Your point is moronic. You guys think you’re being reasonable and finding the middle when all that’s happening is you’re being pipelined into fascism with some extra steps.
