@dzuk I eventually realised that the school allowed and accepted a certain level of bullying because the fear of being bullied helped maintain the status quo.
The same principle applies to centrists. The violence that maintains the status quo doesn't touch them so they either close their eyes to it or accept it as the cost of their privileges.

@dzuk "obsessed with the aesthetics of politics" -- thank you, I appreciate this phrasing!

@dzuk I fail to see how a is related to b. And since I also fail to understand what you even mean by A (centrism) and how even A' comes from it (that it is childish, petulant and obsessed with aesthetics...) as it appears that you have taken a general idea, and applied specific goals...

But what I *do* see, is that you have come to learn that anyone who doesn't support or attack you, is "centrist" and is worthy of your attack, because "they did it first".
