    This is very true. Islamophobia is big force on right but flourishes because it casually tolerated by center.https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/912853607321624576 …

    With Trump and now with Moore, it's always interesting how casually anti-Muslim political hatred is treated by even the best of the media.

        Honestly, what is the "center?" I don't know that this is a static thing or point or set of politicians or pundits or what.

        and members of the Bush Admin who were behind 9/11. But don't take my word for it. How cunning: mass murder & blame the innocent.2)

        The left has not acquitted itself well there either. See their treatment of Syrian activists as an example.

        I think centre here refers to the bourgeoisie's "good cop." Theirs is an ideology of policy & politeness over politics & popular struggle.

        The closest the centre comes to popular struggle is triangulation, where it tries to accommodate both reactionary & socially liberal views.

        There is a certain kind of Christian fundamentalism that's very powerful in the US political establishment.

        People are often afraid of things they don't understand. We need to educate more on diversity

        LOL. You think the media is in the center? Most is either ideologically left or right, or at the extremes following ratings.
