  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks “wait a second-- why’d I end up in hell??”

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: “because centrism enables fascism”

    It’s almost as bad as being so dug into your belief system that you would rather let fascists win then compromise.

        I’m not an ideologue, but historically, centrism (or, to be more precise, liberalism) has done a pretty poor job of defeating extreme points of view, because they typically won’t do what’s required to resolve the conditions which lead to extremism, and the response to threats to the status quo (socially or politically) are more often met with repression.

        The adage “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” doesn’t come from nowhere.

      Letting slightly less people die is not compromise, allowing any genocide is not compromise, allowing people to starve is not compromise, Bernie was our compromise and Liberals would rather watch Trump win than accept our compromise.
