Q. You implied rather directly in a recent dispatch that there are no political centrists. Can you elaborate on that a little please?
A. Certainly. There are no political centrists.
If you take my recent bulletin on Left Wing vs Right Wing philosophies at face value, it becomes obvious that the concept of centrism is inherently flawed, because it would require that the left and right be equal but opposite positions. Nothing could be further from the truth.
A better way to understand the two positions, is that anybody who believes in civilisation is right wing. Some of them additionally advocate for the admittance of certain left wing (nebulous idea space) values, but ultimately they want the values to be incorporated into right wing civilisation. They are part of the right wing majority.
People who are not right wing, wish instead to abandon civilisation and force entire populations of individuals to change every facet of their lives in accordance with an ever changing interpretation of a single value ideology. By force, because it is the only way it can be done. Such people are insane, and should never be listened to—precisely because they themselves cannot listen, cannot be reasoned with, and would sooner murder you than drink with you.
That said however, intellectual honesty is inherently non-partisan—or ‘fair’ as the rest of us call it. Consequently, those that focus their attention on the intellectual honesty of a political advocate, rather than the policy being advocated for, are often thought of as political centrists. They aren’t, but it's an easy mistake to make.
Q. Doesn't this all rather depend on people adopting your stance on Left Wing vs Right Wing philosophies though? Does it not concern you that some might disagree on this interpretation?
A. Not in the slightest, no.
