    Liberals. It's systemic like it has always been. As cathartic as it is to remember the French Revolution, it's not like it worked and ended stratification and imperialism. Liberalism will always seek as much control as possible, and the internet has proven to be a huge fucking problem exactly because it is so impossible to control.

    Exactly. Centrism, and the very idea that there is “moderation” to be sought between progressive ideals and back-assward conservatism, is a fucking plague. We all suffer because people don’t want to seem “extreme” and I’m fucking tired of it. We have to commit to being progressive and admit that all centrism has ever done is seek validation for and to normalize right-wing viewpoints long enough that we stop paying attention.

    Ok?

    I’m also not talking about absolutes, unless you’re participating in relativistic politics that only care about ideologies in reference to other ideologies and is a practice used by people too stupid to form their own opinions about platforms they’ve actually looked into.
