I don't know if we can top this, honestly. He reblueskied a post condemning shoplifting while he was on his way across the country to commit a mass shooting.

    I mean its not as strange or surprising as it appears on the surface level

    What are radical centrists except true believers in neoliberalism, who consciously or subconsciously subscribe to the dogma of "there's no such thing as society, only individuals"

    So what's an individual to do when they see someone making a mockery of the nonsensical idealism they base their identity around? Certainly the concept of collective action is out of the question because to them that's fantasy or science fiction

    But as a result of foregoing real human connection they immediately fall into a self-referential spiral where their entire identity is subsumed by constant intensifying reaction to the thing that constantly thwarts their individual idealism.....the only road this leads to poltically is adventurism, the ultimate expression of individualism

    It also doesn't help that the only other individuals a person like this takes seriously (the neoliberal elites) constantly bow down to Trump, creating a powerful cognitive dissonance in the mind of an already isolated personality

    The very avatars of your idealism surrendering to the monster that is destroying it? Yeah it's not a surprise these fanatics snap

    It looks like centrist adventurists are the only ones willing to fight (badly) for what they believe in. They're not afraid to shoot (and miss). That's it, I'm a radical centrist from now on. I'm thinking of starting a new party, called the American Centrist Party.

    Like maybe we could get a Centrist book club going or get matching centrist tatoos next time we meet.

    A radical is simply someone who wholeheartedly believe in their cause.

    A radical centrist is someone whether rational or irrational, believes that firmly sitting square in the middle between what they perceive as the polls is the pure and true belief.

    At the end of the day, it is a bit of a contradiction, as they believe in believing nothing.
