Period.

If you are pro-capitalism, you are Right Wing.

There is no pro-capitalist Left. That’s a polite fiction in the US that no one can afford any longer as the ecosystem is actually collapsing around us."

    Ignorance sure can be bliss.

    If you’re privileged enough, meanwhile your ignorance and apathy impact those of us who aren’t so lucky.

    As for

    don't be the asshole in the middle

      If you could just understand that creating the narrative of you against them doesn’t help at all. Don’t you see how you are pushing everyone away that doesn’t think the same as you?

      A compromise wouldn’t be between the extremists on one side and the rationalists on the other.
      It would be between the rationalists on both sides.

      And being a centrist doesn’t mean you take the exact middle point between two extremists on every issue anyway.

      It’s about weighing up the pros and cons of both arguments, and deciding on a solution that minimises the cons of each side.
