LWDT 7: The Earth and Heavens Tremble.

[Cappuccina]

centrists have conviction in their lack of convictions

No, they have convictions. It's that they don't view themselves as left or right.

It depends on how one uses the term "centrism", some people view it as synonymous with "moderate", some view it as having a synthesis of left and right philosophical views.

I'd personally consider myself as a centrist of the latter type.

I think it is funny when everyone here views me as right wing, while many people in the RWDT view me as a left winger.

Same here tbh. The number of times I’ve been accused of being Communist is hilarious, but I also know the commies don’t think very highly of my political views.

It might be because of your name. People may think Sartre, oh he must be a commie!

Definitely. Still doesn’t excuse them, though. It’s not hard to understand that I am not actually a 20th century French playwright.

I don't think anyone who frequents this thread would unironically call themself as such

Many possess Authoritarian characteristics though. That said, I am appalled at LNA's statement, considering how many of the posters here crosspost from other threads.

How is that appalling?

Indeed. They stand for forced equality.

What do you think about Corneliu Zelea Codreanu? He might be your kind of guy perhaps.

[Kowani]

"Down with Dissent" would be a good title for the authoritarians that post here.

Heh.

Heh.

Those are rather in the "Who was worse" thread.

Which should be really renamed into: Who can get the worst in apologism for Josef and Adolf?

I'd view him as me on crack, similar views, bit too much of a zealot though....and well he's Orthodox and I'm Muslim.

Don’t remind me of that particular clusterfuck.

Some ideologies or idealists like Codreanu are, I think, demanding too much from people. The majority of people cannot in the long run live up to such high and demanding ideals. Be they be political, ideological or spiritual. Sometimes even the short one isnt working but for a few years at best.

Hey now, the [holocaust/holodomor] never happened, but if it did, the [kulaks/jews] also had it too easy. [Stalin/Hitler] made many great improvements to his country and should be respected as a man of the [Aryan/Working] people.

I find Codreanu's ideas to be noble in intent, but I don't find fanaticism and zealotry to be useful in one's spiritual growth.

I'm just trying to stimulate any type of discussion here. This thread is only four pages way from being locked and replaced. I'm not looking to cry to the mods or anything like that.

It did come across as kind of self absorbed. This is a leftist politics thread, not a blog.

Speaking of which. Do tankies generally have too many stars in their eyes over the USSR, being too willing to ignore its faults?

If I thought it was my blog I would have posted my personal dramas, etc.

Of course. They often deny that the U.S.S.R was undemocratic, and they deny every single atrocity committed under Stalin and other dictators or try to find excuses to justify it. I'm sure they don't make the left-wing community look good.

You honestly expect people to respond to this? Anyone who says they would would be at risk of a mod slap.

On NSG, that is mild.
