Seeing Ricky Gervais come out in support, for instance, is heartening.

Rubin is a prophet

his video of the year he called it said said this would be the year of unlikely alliances

i thought he is a classical liberal? 😄

did you know he's gay too?

I agreEEE with that.

you agREEEEEEEE with that?

you watch too many podcasts with f'ing white males

I.... DisagrEEEEEE... with that....

Tim isn't a white male.

😄

I think Falko's referring to the podcaster that uses that as a sounder... 😛

haha never heard it

Guilty as charged, I do listen to Beauty and the Beta.

i'm thinking of calling in later but... stupid americans keep streaming in the middle of the night (european time 😄 )

And not particularly for Blonde's take, either. I'm fascinated with cases of agreeable leftists. Hence, why I'm here. I'm looking forward to deradicalization of the left and right, so that we can actually all just talk again and find the points both sides agREEE on.

i don't really care for left/right... i look at a given policy and decide what i think is best... i really hate the partisan bullshit

don't look at me then 😦 i'm a radical centrist

Oh, so am I. I've gone so far as to call myself a 'militant centrist'. 😛

thats too sane

It's really not a matter of 'left' vs 'right' anyway

yeah

its a "capitalist vs socialist"

its a matter of idiots vs idiots

The true place where peace and diversity exists is in the anti-authoritarian part of the spectrum.

us being the capitalist, and both "left" and "alt-right" being socialists

i'm not a capitalist

do you believe in private ownership and working hard for your own gains?

capitalism ends with "-ism", which means it's bad

centrism, pacifism, humanitarianism

i don't believe in work, way too much work for my taste 😄

all bad

so any political spectrum is bad to you? 😮

if you use only that... yes

well, anything right-wing is capitalism
Anything leftwing is socialism/communism
and that leaves centrism

you have to pick and choose from all to get to a good place

thats centrism

you have to pick from that too 😉

but centrism... nah... not really... the right balance is not in the center...

(nitpicking, i know)

it is actually, the absolute center
