    Pretty much, anyone with sense can tell. Honestly just another reason I hate (these kinds of- establishment) libs even more than “honest” fascists nowadays, at least the latter actually believes on some level in the garbage they spew, for libs it’s just plain malice/“”“disciplining”“” their slaves.

      Fascists have the fundamental kernel of truth of identifying real problems sometimes. Like “the store is out of toilet paper and I’m running out of bibles”, the problem with them is their solutions are all “exterminate the brutes”. Which is bad and I dont want to deal with even when I’m not one of the brutes. Also it doesn’t solve basically any problem, and now you’ve got partisans and lots if digging to do.

      Libs are less violent; they’re kind of all chicken shit and dont actually go after victims without institutional power, but they can not see problems, and trying to make them do so registers as violence because it kills the vibes.

      Both are equally large problems, but its the difference between a man with a gun and doing lines of asbestos. Preferring the man with the gun is perfectly valid; both will kill you, both could make it very ugly.

      Moralists don’t really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child’s toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn’t change – not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world.
