Ah yes, the classical "you're either with us or against us"
This is false.
I feel like most people here are american, which would explain this point of view

Eh it happens here in the UK too, 'centre' always seems to be 'give the right wing half of what they want and the left wing nothing.' which is really just right wing but slower.

As a centrist, I approve with this message. An actual centrist does not compromise with nazis.
Do they compromise with the controlled opposition to Nazis?
Funny how there's a bunch of people in the comments essentially just unironically repeating the meme: "Well this must be wrong because I believe this and I'm actually a centrist!!!"
That's the point, buddy. You're the butt of the joke. The idea that the far-left and far-right are equally bad or warrant the same amount of scrutiny and criticism is a right-wing belief.
To make the point more obvious instead of using "left" and "right" look at specific political beliefs that the far-left and far-right have:
-
Equality across social and demographic groups vs. State-enforced racism, sexism and other kinds of bigotry
-
Abolishment of bourgeois property and money vs. Complete privatization, oligarchy and corruption
-
Globalization, peaceful relations and a right to live where you want vs. Complete isolationism and xenophobia
-
Right to self-governance and no government with a monopoly on violence vs. State sanctioned violence against those considered undesirable or traitors
Hopefully I don't need to explain which one is obviously worse. To equate what the far-left and the far-right advocate for one must misrepresent the left, so both-sides-ism inherently has a right-wing slant.
the left general public: let's alienate the people that might agree with us, but be shocked when the right wins.

Both sides exclude me for holding my particular set of opinions. I'm on my side, fuck you!
That's actually fair. Maybe more parties would be better?
