    here are two arguments:

    1. Your stance is based on the idea that both sides have equal merit
    2. You have no principles or independent thought

    you can pick the exact middle

      It’s hard to judge whether extreme right or extreme left is worse. They are both dangerous for a country, though in a different sense.

      I personally am not in the exact middle but being radical is not a choice.

          Usually the surreal ones such as extremely high minimum wages, fixed prices for food, state-sponsored housing, etc.

          Basically all actions that look very good on paper but at the same time are extremely expensive.

                  My great grandfather was in a concentration camp.

                  I would rather say your ancestors never lived in a communist country.

            lol yes ok very dangerous and equivalent to fascism understood

            my opinion of centrists has completely flipped, I totally get why “spending too much” and “enforcing an ethnic hierarchy” are the same degree of evil

            snark aside: you should reflect about what exactly money is, what it’s used for and what it represents, and how a government spending its own legal tender differs from household finances.
