This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've only ever heard left wingers claim that compromise is 'blasphemy' or that "center politics" is just for people who are too afraid to admit they are right wing.

Fuck, there's even memes abotu being centrist is being OK with half the holocaust or the KKK.

Your comment is exactly the insane shrill partisan hackery that is the problem.

BAM - just immediately guns blazing accusing the other side of what your side is guilty of.

It was right wingers and centrists who allowed the holocaust to happen... source: rise and fall of the third reich

True. But it was left wingers who killed millions of Russians in gulags, who committed the Cambodian genocides, the long marches and purges of Maoist communism.

So maybe there's something to be said for moderation eh?

I'm not a communist, social democracy is the way.
