    Maybe I’m the centrist in this scenario, but isn’t that just normal left? I’d expect far left to be like “we are going to exterminate all the rich then give their stuff to everyone else”

      In the US at least, the entire country is so far right that the position above is actually far left in our political sphere.

        Haha yeah US is so backwards. And I’m surprised the world hasn’t built a massive wall around us because we literally use God as part of our laws, how many weapons we have stockpiled, how many citizens die from unnecessary violence, how little we care about the homeless.

        And any sort of empathy about any of those problems, even pointing it out, isnt even a discussion point in politics because itll go nowhere fast.

      The ‘far left’ described in that tweet is the ‘center right’ in Norway. USA politics feels weird and alien to Europeans.

        I mean it feels weird and alien to us too.

        All of it makes a lot more sense when viewed through the lens of who has money and who wants that money.

      I also believe I am center… To me it’s more like

      Right: let’s go exterminate races. Left: ACAB, all cops are pieces of shit and deserve life sentences.

      I mean, they aren’t totally equal, but there are better examples.

            I’m more likely to be assaulted by a cop than helped by one. Or randomly killed while they do triple the speed limit with no siren.

              I hope someday your feelings of law enforcement can be repaired by them. This is a tragic relationship between people and those that are supposed to protect them.

              I hope law enforcement keeps correcting this, which they should have done themselves but instead it took enormous pressure and numerous occasions of crimes by law enforcement.

              Maybe one day, you won’t have to fell that way.
