Comic Strips

Far left is mostly also authoritarian. They say they want everyone to have the same rights but get angry or try to silence people that don't agree with their radical ways. I'm not talking about the left in general but the far left. As such they see it needed to achieve their goals, even if it official is equality for example.

Edit: Removed "Tankies definitely are authoritarian." They are kinda a weird case where they believe or say they believe in Marxist Leninist ideology but then support countries that dress as communist even if they are ruled by a small elite or are actually mostly capitalist. I believe they are kinda gullible far left with mostly a "US bad" sentiment so China and Russia must be good. They are not solely representative of far left authoritarianism

USAmericans have successfully identified the middleground as a target because the idea of getting along is so foreign to them.

That's not why.

Extreme left - they're out to kill me so I have to defend myself.

Extreme right - they're out to kill me so I have to kill them first.

Centrists throwing around the horseshoe - both sides are so prone to violence, they might as well be the same thing for the rest of us.

Doesn't mean they're correct, they just don't like violence and shy away from it.

Last panel is on point for the majority of humanity because preparing for the future isn't a default command written in our genetic code, but a learned behaviour.

oppression leads to depression

Centrists are people who prefer not to artificially simplify problems before coming up with a solution. Top right panel is a ridiculous strawman

Cool. I guess only people to the right and left are valid. The right is bad, and the left is good. The rest? I guess we don't count...

Gee sounds a little like a far right standpoint... That's so weird, they never go authoritarian!

Ah yess," we need to create classless society by eating all the rich, killing all the landlords and destroying capitalism around the world" is totally different from the far right which is also "do violence against people we don't like in order to get the society we want". Youre not a faschist if you think the people who you want to kill are responsible for all your issues I guess. Wait, wasn't that literally what hitler said?

Calling to violence is sure to get all the reforms you want. You could also, idunno, take a page from the rightwingers playbook and viralize memes about every single thing the administration does wrong so the public does not forget and is turned against them.

Ah, this old canard in which radical leftism didn't do anything wrong, no revolutions lead to dictatorships and centrally planned economies were sabotaged by the capitalist illuminati. God forbid we critique leftist ideologies, anyone who does that is worse than a nazi.
