I often see on here that someone that says they are Center just means they are right wing.

Eg. this post https://piefed.social/c/wikipedia@lemmy.world/p/2492350/centre-party

Center Party = Far right.

And I get that that is often true, but that got me thinking, when is someone actually "Center?"

I'm probably further left leaning than the vast majority of people I know, but I'm for sure not as left as what it feels like your average person on Lemmy is.

Why I hate being left sometimes

I probably consider myself Center-Left but much more left than center

    I feel that way. Left of center but if I go a direction its going to be left of where I am.

    Have you ever noticed how many terms there are to describe the left? You can be communist, socialist, tankie, liberal, leftist, progressive, and all the various flavors of each.

    If you're right-wing, you're just part of "the right" no matter what your beliefs are. Weird right?

    It's almost like there are people out there who want to promote right-wing solidarity while promoting as much division ans discord to their opposition as possible.

    In right wing ideologies, you can be a Nazi, conservative, Fascist, gender critical, white supremacist, Brahminist, Evangelical, Capitalist, Feudalist, Patriarchial, Casteist, Anti-intellectual, and, also Liberal.

    Btw, liberal is a right wing ideology, not left.
