OK, I need to have a thread about centrism coz I am being accused of it again in terms of doing 'both sides' stuff. I've said before why I don't think centrism (in the sense of taking a middle position on everything rather than finding your views somewhere near the middle) works.

The kind of inconsistency above which applies values pragmatically and inconsistently is not the failing of the majority of us who value secular liberal democracy and the fruits of the Enlightenment. It is the failing of the ideologue who can be right or left.

Is this a reference to "affirmative action"?
-
Not directly, no. I'm talking on a more ideological level. Talking about whiteness as a problem and masculinity as toxic.
-
I agree with you on "whiteness". It's a vague term and causes problems. Genuine problems should be referred in specific terms like police brutality or other discrimination. Though isn't "toxic masculinity" saying that the toxic part is a subset of masculinity?

In extremism for some time. I prefer reason to extreme views which only foster extreme responses.

Some just don’t agree with the absolutism of the left/right dichotomy. You can be moderate in your views without being left or right. You can be centred while supporting human rights. The left and the right have been drowning 1/2
