More like "I'm ultra right, but I can't admit that in public because so I desperately need to win over Germany's working class for my war plans, I even used the word socialism in our party name and we intentionally make our posters similar to those of the communists".
Emmanuel Macron, the 25th president of France, positions himself as a liberal and a centrist. When he launched his party En Marche in April 2016, he said that it was "neither right nor left". By March 2017, Macron stated that he and his party were now "both right and left".
Who knew that reducing different political ideologies to one of two ends of a line was stupid? About the only thing that ends up working out that way are the parties willing to work within the intent and purpose of the ruling system and those just interested in gaming it and subverting it. The Trump election was a perfect example, plenty of people "on the left" ended up behaving in a way that led to a Trump win because they were more interested in subverting "a corrupt system" than working within it.
When I first read the post I was like "So you'd be alright with communism or whatever if it's only for white people?" And I started really thinking about how Sweden used to be very into solidarity and welfare and infrastructure, and then a bunch of brown people showed up and things have been getting dismantled as Nazis gain influence. I always figured populations moved left and right kind of at random, based on social trends or natural events and such. Are they really burning down this country because their xenophobia is that overwhelming?

it's amazing how being exposed to another skin tone changes some people's thinking. sad.
Billionaires have ruined the economy and our lives. Immigrants en masse are bad for society, legal or not. Taxes should be raised for the rich and healthcare should be free for all. Transgenderism is a mental illness for the most part, and LGBTQ "pride" is stupid.
Abortions should be fully accessible and women should have full reproductive rights over their own bodies, and having women enter the workplace and makeup the majority of university graduates is a mistake, as it's reduced the worth of a person's labor. Women should be free to enter the workplace but not encouraged to.
A mental illness is not inherently associated with having a condition.
Transgenderism is not a condition.
Gender dysphoria is a condition, that doesn't inherently make it a mental illness.
People with gender dysphoria may experience it as a mental illness, but that doesnt make "transgenderism" a mental illness.
All this is besides the point because having a mental illness doesn't mean anything. I've had mentally illnesses come and go with depression and anxiety.
What most people refer to as mental illness is some kind of delusional thinking.
Here's the question I have for those people: if your mother got dementia, how would you treat her?
Would you tell her that she's delusional, and she needs to pretending its the 70's, and tell her she doesn't deserve the same rights as others?
Or would you be compassionate to her, regardless of what your perspective is, because it costs you nothing.

I'm a centrist, ask me anything.
Billionaires have ruined the economy and our lives. Immigrants en masse are bad for society, legal or not. Taxes should be raised for the rich and healthcare should be free for all. Transgenderism is a mental illness for the most part, and LGBTQ "pride" is stupid.

Want me to go on?
