      Sorry it came across like that, I was super tired. I think other commenters are right that authoritarianism sucks, whether it’s left or right.

        It also sucks when it’s centrist. And guess what, your opinions are not less biased than anyone else, you are no more the arbiters of truth or justice than anyone else, you are no more “principled and unbiased” in you approach towards morality ethics and philosophy than anyone else. Don’t be so goddamn arrogant.

          You’re right that no one is an angel or god, no one has perfect knowledge and as such cannot hand out perfect justice. That’s what I am saying, essentially. As soon as people create authoritarian systems, of any kind, they become adherents to one singular way of thinking. That’s the problem.

          Edit: stop making the thing into an ad hominem, I am talking about systems and processes.

            Yeah, and centrists in the current climate are all supporters of the authoritarian system that is capitalism, and essentially are all adherents to one singular way of thinking.

      Your argument is quite compelling, but I’m going to side with the person you’re denigrating on this one. I’m sorry…

      I’m just not very far-right… So I can’t fully get into your mindset.
