   @contrasocial I just want to enjoy my movies, games and books without getting caught in the crossfire of a culture war. If that makes me insufferable, I'll take it. 🙂

     Dumbass Centrist: "I just want to enjoy my movies, games and books without having to focus on black people being murdered in racially motivated violence, women being raped, trans people being dehumanized and having their rights taken from them, workers being exploited and not having enough money to survive, and all that uncomfortable yucky stuff. If that makes me insufferable, I'll take it. 🙂

     Misogynistic violence, racially motivated violence, violence against trans people, and the exploitation of the working class are all black-and-white issues. They're all wrong, period, unless you want to enlighten me with your "superior centrist wisdom" and explain to me how any of those issues can be good in any way.

     The thing is, apathy puts you on one side by default. Ignoring injustice isn't what makes you insufferable (that just makes you a bad person) what makes you insufferable is having the gall to pretending that ignoring injustice makes you enlightened while also complaining about others making too much public noise.

     No one buys the psuedo-centrist schtick, they just correctly percieve you as a particularly lazy right-winger.

     @contrasocial i see. Well, that's unfortunate, but I never did care about people who can only see the world in black and white. This whole shebang is all about tribal warfare, the ideas don't actually matter. In reality, you're free to label me however you want, and I'm free to ignore your opinion about me. I know where I stand, and I'm not siding with either camp. I'll make my judgement on a case-by-case basis, not ideology. Put a label on that if you want. See if you feel better after that.
