Centrist - Tumblr Posts
I have no confidence in our legal or political system so I am now explaining that this is SATIRE. Satire is a form of comedy. Plz don't come shoot my cat.
op turned off reblogs but this needs to be shared
You cannot be a centrist on reproductive rights. You cannot be a centrist on trans and gay rights. You cannot be a centrist on intersex people and our rights and our bodies. You cannot be a centrist on social security, disability, retirement, etc. You cannot be a centrist on immigration. You cannot be a centrist on war. You're either pro human rights, anti war, pro immigration, or you're not.
The very act of 'centrism' is allowing fascism to exist because you 'understand both sides' or don't want to pick a side. You are just as bad as the nazis and those who hang with them, because you don't denounce them like a normal person. It's just a more pretty looking way of saying you're a right wing fascist freak. If you can listen to a fascist and go 'well I just don't agree with them :)' you are enabling that fascist. You might as well chant 'kill the jews! Trans people are child predators!' too if you can listen to that and not actively denounce it. I don't care if this is an extremist view, it's just a fact. You cannot be a centrist on human rights, I don't trust anyone who says they are because they enable the people against human rights, and may just be mask on anti rights themselves.
After all, doesn't Ben Shapiro call himself a liberal?
!Important Reminder!
Agreeing to disagree is one of the most important things you can do as a person, especially as a Christian! Jesus Christ loves all and while we might struggle with that we should aim to do the same despite our differences. Unless someone is being inherently evil then there is no point in arguing with them.
For example:
I hate Trump, but one of the kindest and funniest people I know is a Trump supporter. I am pro life but my own mother is pro choice and I still love her deeply. I am Catholic, but my best friend is atheist and we get along very well. I strongly believe in evolution and have a scientific background, but many good people don’t and that doesn’t make me superior or inferior to them. I am against cosmetic surgery and body modification of any kind, but does that mean that I go out of my way to harass a trans person who’s had affirmative surgery or a someone with a nose job or a tattoo? No! We are all God’s glorious creations and we are commanded to love by Christ himself!
