  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”

        Am i missing a joke or something?

        When you have 2 yards separated by a fence, the fence is on one of the sides, somebody owns the fence. The saying means that by not picking sides, you still technically pick a side.

        It’s a metaphor. You don’t need to “believe” in them.

      it’s not a good place to sit.

      with enough pressure the fence becomes a jagged edge that can cut you in half.

      I’m not centrist because I’m on the fence, I’m centrist because I hold both leftwing and rightwing ideologies

        Honest question that you dont need to answer: what are your right wing ideologies? Are they just fiscal or are they social as well?

          From the rightwing side, I support private healthcare, strict immigration laws (I am an immigrant), and the lower value of human life (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_of_life)

          From the leftwing side, I support higher taxes, UBI, public education, public transit, and work camps

        And you’re okay with one side openly calling for violence against others and destroying society for the benefit of a few?

          Absolutely? Free Luigi.

          destroying society for the benefit of a few

          Nope, that’s not generally something I support

            I laughed aloud. Thank you for this.

            We are a dying breed… The ones who aren’t always screaming about extremist nonsense. This world wasn’t made for us…

          Wouldnt each side accuse the other of that specifically whilst believing their own side doesn’t?

          I’m guessing that’s the point of the question.
