    Yeah, the only time where I think centrism is valid is actually with Israel, because genuinely the IDF and Hamas are both evil and kill civilians without a care. Even then of course there’s distinctions to make and consider. But that’s a whole separate deal.

    I think the best position is to be solidly in A or B, but acknowledge that the other side has some valid points and your side has some valid flaws. That’s a mark of wisdom imo. Unfortunately, I think people oversimplify it and think that centrism is the same thing.

      There’s also the power dynamic to consider, the centrist position is to let the IDF murder all of Gaza, they keep chewing through children like nobody’s business.

        Oh yeah, absolutely. IDF or Hamas, whoever has more power is going to kill civilians en masse with it. This is the one time I’ll actually unironically say both sides are the same. There is a power imbalance, absolutely, but there’s no doubt that they both have the intent to annihilate the other.
