R A D I C V L T centrism

there were those of us who went out into the religious debates online and made our way to the radical

in the sense of, at the root

the root, you see, of centrism, isn't orienting yourself based on myopic notions of left or right

but by the establishment of the center.

now how do you establish the center? how is the center established?

the center is established by excluding the unreasonable from debate.

yes this means defining reality without regard for the unreasonable.

yes this means bullying unreasonable people off of your platform.

because the ancient plea

"Why can't we be reasonable about all of this?" was never uttered except to be answered, by and large, with a solid "no."

you establish the center by identifying the things which people can agree upon which shut other people up. stop whining about men and women, you're only showing your adolescence. we were all literally there in adolescence. every single person. trust us when we say we can identify it.

and never grow up because adulthood is a concept of the state.

but we're not a political forum. just a forum about drama. lmao.

you establish the center by listening to people and finding the fundamental agreement, and building around that agreement. you ignore the unreasonable people, because they're just loud and no one likes them, and you shut them out of your conversation with a carefully constructed social reality that does not admit any room for the suicide memers.

the suicide memers being those who hang around for long enough to seem normal, and then get banned for, you know, showing their power level. letting the mask slip. I'm sure there are spaces where there are leftie suicide memers but I've seen a lot of the rightoid ones.

it works at least at first but then the hivemind becomes acclimated.
