Clarifying what radical centrism is.

20  2018-09-26 by ImJustaBagofHammers

There’s a lot of misconceptions about what non-radical centrism is. Radical centrism is the rejection of the dogmatic adherence to any and all philosophies, ideologies, and worldviews on the basis of tribalism and groupthink, including radical centrism itself. This makes it radical because tribalism and groupthink are, from an evolutionary perspective, hardwired into humans (as is rejecting tribalism and groupthink), and is also promoted in modern political dialog by Russian and Chinese propaganda. However, this does not mean that radical centrism demands the rejection of any strong opinion whatsoever; on the contrary, radical centrism itself is a strong opinion, nor does it demand attempting to find a “middleground” in every situation, for that would be dogmatic adherence to a misguided view of centrism. The philosophy is “centrist” because it rejects partisan politics due to their unnecessary divisiveness and tendency to foster extremes and the expense of the party’s purported ideals, and therefore blind adherence to the idea of rejecting strong views on anything would itself be partisan.

I honestly just like laughing at retards and being a radical centrist doubles my targets.

That’s a good reason to be a radical centrist, but you should still try to help promote the movement, which necessitates a basic understanding of radical centrist philosophy.

This kind of unconstructive dialog is not helpful.

Radical Centrism is dead. I advocated coercive conformism - if you stand out by advocating either extreme, that's a paddlin'. You will fall in.

Radical centrism is recognizing both that trans women aren't women and that that's a good thing.
