Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[JimmyJeffers]

Do you support restricting who can vote then? Or just giving an opinion?

Absolutely not.

I think that critical analysis of sources and text, should be prioritised as one of the most important subjects on school curriculums. There is no way of restricting the kind of dirge these douches are influenced by but they cannot lose their right to vote cos I think they are wrong. Most people I have known who have gone too far down the rabbit hole are not registered on the electoral roll anyways cos of 5g or something.

Fair perspective about education I was just wondering because most people who vote don't even read the manifestos of the party's to make a decision. Just seems to be based on hearsay and general feeling of us vs them depending on which side you are on. I don't think it changes much though because we are on our second unelected prime minister this year right now.

I wonder how people will react if/when 6g comes out. Going to be lots of new youtube videos I imagine.

He supports the mass euthanasia of humanity mate, don't mind him. Sensible enough centrist position imho.

The confusing thing for me is that with the Overton window shifting do centrists also shift or do they suddenly get considered right or left?

The centrists, in my experience, are the worst of the lot.

The only times I've seen folk describe themselves as centrists is on here. Normally the known cranks or wums.

Cos there is no such thing as a centrist.

Yeah I think about this a lot. Centrism is an extremely subjective term. I would say anyone describing themselves as ‘centrist’ at the minute, adhere to a fairly right wing ideology in the grand scheme of things, usually because they know that identifying as ‘right wing’ is generally frowned upon.
I’d probably say i’m more of a social democrat, who believes in the merits of the free market operating alongside state ownership. Some people might regard or have regarded that as centrism depending on the context.

I tell you what centrists dont do, they dont call people woke, soy boys and other neo-nazi edge words, thats for damn sure.

Fair response mate. I always took it as people meaning they were reasonable enough to consider advantages from both right/left but you are right that years of propaganda on television have made right wing something people feel uncomfortable to discuss which is probably not healthy for society and may be a plea from people to say "I'm not completely on the left of things but I'm not unreasonable" or something? I don't know I'm just going off what I suspect rather than anything concrete or studied on this that I'm aware of.

The worst is when somebody dies at the footy and they all start with "WERE THEY VAXED?", like people didnt drop dead before vaxs came out.
