    or convenience, or ignorance…

    These two are especially important, and why I call fascist on pretty much all centrists who think that political and social ignorance is the most sensible and reasonable position. “Both sides have good and bad ideas,” they say with their head high, and after the damage is done they blame both sides for not being as sensible as them. “I dislike extremists no matter what side they’re on,” they say, as they scoff and roll their eyes at protestors marching against police brutality, “get a job” some of these enlightened centrists would say. They act wise, and caring, saying “I just want the best for humanity” with not even so much as a vague depiction of what that could be, or how to go about it, you ask “How do we get there?” They shrug. “Do you read any political theory?” you may ask, they shrug again. “I don’t take sides, nor do I have time to read anymore, I need to focus on work to pay the bills and feed my family.”

    These types of people are not centrist, they’re fascist.
