You just know that Aaron saw someone make some false equivalence between this Chicago autonomous zone (which they called secessionist) and the attempted coup, and he thought "yeah, they're all the same and I'm so enlightened and smart" without actually even thinking.
I know a guy who is a 'radical centrist' and he has been smart enough to shut his fucking mouth recently.
Aaron is galaxy brain, we can't handle his high IQ plays bro.
On a serious note, there's being in the centre in terms of values, and then there is just being a complete smooth brain, and always trying to find both sides at fault, as if the world is black and white, with zero complexity.
Comparing a civil rights issue, with an attack on democracy is apples and oranges, I'm pretty sure this is a concept I could get my cat to understand. There are multiple reasons why it's not a fair comparison as well, the lack of police at the terrorist attack on the capitol compared with the heavy police depolyed during the BLM protests.
Saying "oh but X people died at the BLM protest, and Y amount of dollars was done in damages!", yes, well over 60 million people died in WW2 fighting against facism, while over 12 million people died on the Axis side, so because the Axis lost less people, that means their cause was more justified, both sides were clearly at fault here though, they both killed people.
I think the intent behind the terrorist attack on the capitol, to overturn a democractic election result, to kill politicians because they were "enemies" was far worse than the BLM protests, it should be no contest.
But those set on supporting this act, or those claiming both sides aren't going to budge, facists and enlighted centreists.
I'm going to be blunt here. I'm called a centrist for exactly the same reasons I'm called n****r lover.
Ah yes, being called a centrist is the exact same as literal racism.
You're being called a centrist because you keep going on about how the left, and the right are evil, and do the same things, which only leaves the centre.
So if you aren't a centrist, what are you?
