Looks like overanalysis to me. Not sure the massive metaphor was necessary to attack ‘them centrists’.
That being said - the notion that centrism is a compromise is only something I’ve seen from people who are not partaking in said centrism. Not that I give a shit or anything.
The funny thing is that I asked this question before, and was also downvoted then too because people think this isn’t something that could ever happen to them and I must be stupid. Trust me folks, give it four more years and a ban or two and you’ll be tearing your hair out just the same and cursing the platform.
Most people on the internet are emotionally little kids who fantasize about ending the lives of people who “deserve it”. They have little understanding of how most things in the world actually work.
When life puts them in a position they think they are righteous and justified, they can be capable of unimaginable cruelty. While seeing themselves as the “good guy” the whole time. I’ve seen it.
