The political spectrum isn't a straight line, people. It's a fucking circle. Look at the fucking tankies ffs.

The further to either "extreme" you get, the further away you get from ANY actual ideology aside from "death to all who oppose me."
The problem with it being a circle is, it's harder to identify where YOU are. And I still hate the fucking centrists too.

I dunno. I guess, still call me socialism-curious, but also pragmatic. And anti-yelling-at-each-other. Can't get anything fucking done by alienating allies.
