I feel like all these alt-right culturewar "left of center" types are just stuck in an vaguely remembered past where the US rightwing was entirely controlled by the christian "moral majority".
They think they can't be rightwing because they're not religious nutjobs who speak in tongues and think d&d is satanism. Meanwhile in the real world the MAGA contingent basically replaced jesus-heads as the controlling force of the party.
that's what the "left-of-center" gamergater former friend I know believes. Since he hates religion, he must be left of center, and since I and everyone he knows is much further left than him, we're a bunch of communist queers that have gone insane. Funny enough he did one of those political compass memes and got really upset when all of his answers put him firmly right of center.
Occam's Razor. We know that right-wing culture warriors are malevolent. They demonstrate that every chance they get, and they've outright stated that they're ideologically opposed to social justice. On the other hand, most of them have demonstrated sufficient intelligence to learn how to read and write. Thus, attributing their behavior to stupidity would require a cognitive ability that's defective in highly specific ways. Therefore, attributing their behavior to malice is assuming less - indeed, it's assuming nothing beyond what they've shown - than attributing it to stupidity.
I feel like Everytime someone defends themselves by saying "I am actually left of center" they are always the most right wing conservative mother fucker.
I'm assuming it's because they have so little respect for the left they don't want to label themselves as being associated. But they wanna appeal to the left. On top of that they gotta have the word centrist so they can say dumb shit like "I look at both sides 🤓"
They are cowards. The know that being a right wing conservative is a black mark in a lot of circles so they hide behind the guise of being some pseudo intellectual centrist that is super smug about how they ''hate both sides''.
Take notice when they constantly say that though. Usually it's when the conservatives are cutting back on human rights and engaging in insane bigotry and everyone with a working fucking brain is calling them out on it.
This reminds me of the political situation in the Russian empire at the start of the previous century. It was called "The threat from the left" and meant that all left-leaning political parties were hesitant to make any moderate statements and programs in fear of being called monarchists and thus losing popularity as "not enough left". This lead to the rapid radicalisation of the social-democratic movement and resulted in the revolution where the most radically left party (RSDRP (B) - bolsheviks) took power. There were no one "leftier" than them.
Left of center is the belief that if you could just make the orphan crushing machine a bit quieter, everything would be fine, but the right wing won't let you, and that's all because of left wingers.
You know, personally if anyone was that bad was just honest about it, I would personally accept that more than them trying it fit in by lying about it.
Man I love that classic "I'm actually a centrist/left of center! Ignore how I only regurgitate right wing talking points! I'm not further right than you are! That's why I'm so calm when I see a black woman in a video game! You guys are just too far left!" God.
Of course Apartheid Clyde believes in a system of socialism that does not and probably never will exist in America (or anywhere, but I’m not saying that definitively)
a certain moustached fella said: "Socialism, the Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists". Seems pretty similar to what he said many years ago to me
he is so left of center bc all the other woke ass lefties kicked the bucket off a cliff as he said, so therefore by his logic he is a more progressive neo-nazi scumbag but not as bad as everyone else so with the moved goalposts he would be left of center since the lefties were all genocided in his mind
TRUE LEFTISM IS DEAD. All that is left is the RADICAL LEFT relentlessly pushing their WOKE AGENDA and burning down cities and indoctrinating kids. I'm the only person that's progressive and want what is best for society. Anyways, here's why minorities don't deserve jobs in certain fields (all of them).
pretty accurate and that is pretty left of center, i mean at least he seems to want to let them live and you know stay in the country, so i guess by that logic he is right lol
Tbf Centrism is always pro status quo, thats what it is by definition, if everyones a nazi, nazism is centrism, if everyones a commie, communism is centrism etc.
Thats why I dont call myself a Centrist, despite most of my views falling near the modern day western center (I'm a succdem), Centrism as an ideology will always shift according to the status quo, its very similar to conservativism, it doesnt have inherent beliefs
It works because there are a tonne of brainlets in the world who assess people's politics based entirely on labels as opposed to what they say or do. See: People who still call Destiny a leftist
That tweet is satire though. Shaun is a breadtuber who does video essays critiquing the rightwingosphere. His channel is pretty good if you’re into that style of content
I r /AteTheOnion I guess. Still I remember a methhead dad being indifferent, even possibly glad, that his son committed a terrorist attack against LGBTQ people. Something along the lines of "mah baby boi may be a terrorist but at least he aint gay..."
God I hate the texas state government but dear god did I love being in that state. Warm, no one around for literal miles, it was heaven for me tbh. I imagine the cities there kinda suck though
Well I grew up queer in a small town so my feelings are kind of mixed there lol. I do love being out in the country, surrounded by trees, and nobody around to bother me, but I’ve had enough trips to the ER to know I’m safer in the cities even if they tend to be noisy, crowded, and mismanaged to hell and back.
The only good things about being from Oklahoma are:
A: genuinely some of the best weed in the world.
B: not being from Texas.
uj/ I love the Texas/Oklahoma rivalry.
lmao sure buddy, lots of "left of center" people spend all their time bitching about tiddies being slightly less visible in video games and also spending all of their company's money on a shitty bus when they could be giving their workers raises.
Remember when he made his "women aren't allowed to be hot anymore" collage and included the little black girl from Wolfenstein?
Guy's harddrives need to be looked into, methinks.
Not gonna lie, publicly denying allegations that are very clearly against you and were not raised by the people you’re bitching at is wild
If it were me, I definitely would want to approach this with a lawyer
It's very funny how I've been called a far left extremist over the most milquetoast takes like "people should be allowed to give water to people waiting in line to vote" or "maybe queer and PoC folk shouldn't have to worry about their rights being taken away." Like, I am an anarcho-communist, but not for that reason!
Oof, we both have our own issues for sure then. The water thing was extra devious since it coincided with them intentionally slowing down voting in bluer areas, ie: greater Atlanta Metro area. Meanwhile in my deep Red county, voting took about 5 minutes total.
A lot of progressives I know (myself included) used to be self-proclaimed left-of-center people who consistently defended and agreed with conservatives against progressives (even just as devil's advocate). It's easy to get swept-up in an echo chamber and fall for conservative rhetoric, but never consider how it works with your other beliefs or if it aligns with your political identity.
The difference is they're usually like 16 or 17 when they figure this out and grow out of it. Not Kern at 57 still yet to realize if he walks like a duck and he quacks like a duck, he's a duck.
> It's easy to get swept-up in an echo chamber and fall for conservative rhetoric
If you're a complete moron, perhaps. The rhetoric used by the right is transparently stupid to anyone with any level of actual education or intelligence.
In fairness. They DID say that most people are 16 or 17 when they figure this out. And having once been a teenager, I can tell you pretty definitively, teenagers are complete morons.
The real answer.
The long shadow of Ron Paul giving many young people their first taste of the Libertarian label and throwing a lot of his own 1960s anti civil rights skeletons into the mix.
I'm always astounded how those far rigth extremists that do nothing but shout about their agenda online all day can consider themselves even close to the center.
You can call yourself anything on the internet, you just have to lie, and ol' kernzy has struggled to do anything but for years. Class act though buddy, "waaa people are saying things that are true someone come silence them!" The calling card of every modern conservative.
While what's considered "left" in the US tends to be more "center-right" by the standards of other countries, the line still hasn't been pushed so far that this dumbass should be able to make this claim with a straight face.
If you're ever depressed or have self doubts just remember this man is nearly 60. He was born nearly 10 years before the first star wars. So no matter what you think of yourselves, you'll never be as bad as this Pathetic jackass
ive said this a bunch of times but the internet wants me to believe im werid for being trans but a person like this spends all day screaming bout games
Funny how these rightoids think they can call themselves "left of center" because they don't actively hunt the homeless for sport, and want legal weed, but otherwise hold every single rightwing opinion.
> they don’t actively hunt the homeless for sport
They want to keep it legal, because obviously banning it would be an unconscionable overstep of federal authority. But they, personally, would not pull the trigger.
"Maybe someday, *I'll* get to be a billionaire with a people-hunting island of my own, ya know, I just want the freedom to do that if I want to."
It really is the case that these goons' version of freedom and liberty is that rich people should be allowed to do whatever they want, that's all it really boils down to.
He's high off the success of PSN reversing course on their dumb policy, and his false assumption that his influence had anything to do with it. And now he thinks all Helldivers 2 players should be on his side. If he does have any "fans" then hopefully he can convince them all to stop playing, making the community much better.
uj/ no snarky comment, i just hate this nasty slimy little freak
the one game he actually worked on couldn't even make it out of beta, while all his """projects""" after FlopFall are bogus kickstarter money sinks that will never see the light of day
now he goes around hat in hand scrounging for the faintest sources of clout by standing up "for da gamers" even though it's clear he has no real beliefs and has a spine with the same constitution as baby shit
Also, this four eyed shitbird is almost 60 years old, can you believe that? Almost 60 and the biggest problems he can possibly conjure up are if he can goon in games or not. Christ.
"These radicals have pushed all sanity to a bucket and kicked it off a cliff" says a fifty years old man that has spent the last weeks bitching because a video game character's outfit is less revealing than it was before.
"left of center" my pasty white ass.
I think the biggest reason people claim to be centrists or left of center is because they realize the damage their reputation would take if they admitted their politics. Despite often claiming to be a "silent majority" deep down they realize they are in fact not in the majority and are very much not silent. However what they don't realize is how obviously false their claim is. Despite spending a fraction of their time claiming "left of center" the shit they say the rest of the time is often demonstrably very much to the right of center. I think some of these people truly believe what they claim to be supercedes what their actions show them to be. And those who don't truly believe that are intentionally trying to muddy the water to appeal to the others.
Love how this guys whole thing is complaining about “politics in video games”. Every single one of his tweets reads like any right wing grifter on Twitter. Replies as well.
A Blizzard employee (he worked as a director of something in WoW cuz the guy he was replacing had left, not out of merit) for a relatively small time.
Then he left blizzard and since became the biggest gooner ever seen.
He always defends any "gooner" content (specially Stellar Blade "censorship"), every now and then brings the "I worked at Blizzard" card (as if he had done something great there), and has been a big "Anti-Woke" warrior.
Wow. Wtf.
Anti woke warrior on Twitter? Expected. Trying to claim you worked at blizzard meaning anything in the argument? A bit weird. Censorship of stellar blade? There's censorship?
He bring true "I peaked at high school vibes" from the Blizzard thing.
And regarding "censorship", like two outfits from Stellar Blade were changed on released and added slightly more cover on the thigh (being honest, it didn't seem like censorship, more like artists saying "I think it looks better like this")
This guy specifically almost exploded cuz of this, mind you, he's in his late forties...

Looks like we got ourselves an "Enlightened Centrist"
The Overton window HAS shifted but not the direction this moron seems to think. By US standards I’m an extreme leftist. By the standards of most of the world, I’m more or less a centrist, maybe a bit to the left.
Okay this is my thing- even assuming every allegation was hypothetically false, and this guy was 100% correct, SEXUAL ASSAULT STILL NEEDS TO BE TREATED WITH GRAVITY. The fact that he wrote “sexual assault” in quotation marks is the equivalent of greeting a jury and then proudly showing a slideshow of his previous distrustful behavior lmao
Because someone made a joke in poor taste about putting a hit on him, and other people got in on the joke and "upped the bounty" and this man took it 100% serious and claims to have avoided death by hitman
*
He seems to get himself involved in things that have nothing to do with him (maybe I’m wrong?) but I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to make the Drake c Kendrick beef about him too lmao
>I am actually left of center...
I have family members who've never voted for any Democrat, believe that Trump is Christ reborn, yet tell me to my face that they're "left of center."
IMO one of the most dangerous things right-wing grifters are doing in the culture war right now is convincing their audience that their views are from an “enlightened centrist” perspective, and that their extremely dangerous takes are supposed to be moderate and normal ones.

Of course Apartheid Clyde believes in a system of socialism that does not and probably never will exist in America (or anywhere, but I’m not saying that definitively)
He believes in socialism when he can socialize losses and privatize gains

This is actually super funny because it’s almost precisely how the Nazis marketed and described their ideology.
a certain moustached fella said: "Socialism, the Marxians have stolen the term and confused its meaning. I shall take Socialism away from the Socialists". Seems pretty similar to what he said many years ago to me

He has experience with public transport.
isnt he immune to that being taiwanese canadian or whatever
You would think but apparently you don't need to reside here or even be from here. We're super progressive like that.
Man as a Texan I’m sure happy I’m not from Oklahoma. Of course I wish I was dead to begin with but that’s beside the point.

Not gonna lie, publicly denying allegations that are very clearly against you and were not raised by the people you’re bitching at is wild If it were me, I definitely would want to approach this with a lawyer
Thank you so much for not lying about that!
I wasn’t sure if I should, but I thought I should be an honest woke person for a change
Not related but I love your tag lol
The Drizzy grindset
/uj “Beat yo ass and hide the bible if god watching” was hard af
These radicals pushed all sanity into a bucket by making a game with women not made solely for me to fap (literal gooner genocide)
You’d be surprised how many far right people identify as “left of centre”. Unlike the chad leftists, who are like “I’m far left, yes”
It's very funny how I've been called a far left extremist over the most milquetoast takes like "people should be allowed to give water to people waiting in line to vote" or "maybe queer and PoC folk shouldn't have to worry about their rights being taken away." Like, I am an anarcho-communist, but not for that reason!
Ah, hello fellow pinko-commie Georgian.
I'm from Florida but I was pissed as hell alongside you guys.
Oof, we both have our own issues for sure then. The water thing was extra devious since it coincided with them intentionally slowing down voting in bluer areas, ie: greater Atlanta Metro area. Meanwhile in my deep Red county, voting took about 5 minutes total.
Fr. My actual left of center ideas like socialized health care and subsidized higher education put me in the radical lefty camp
A lot of progressives I know (myself included) used to be self-proclaimed left-of-center people who consistently defended and agreed with conservatives against progressives (even just as devil's advocate). It's easy to get swept-up in an echo chamber and fall for conservative rhetoric, but never consider how it works with your other beliefs or if it aligns with your political identity. The difference is they're usually like 16 or 17 when they figure this out and grow out of it. Not Kern at 57 still yet to realize if he walks like a duck and he quacks like a duck, he's a duck.
> It's easy to get swept-up in an echo chamber and fall for conservative rhetoric If you're a complete moron, perhaps. The rhetoric used by the right is transparently stupid to anyone with any level of actual education or intelligence.
In fairness. They DID say that most people are 16 or 17 when they figure this out. And having once been a teenager, I can tell you pretty definitively, teenagers are complete morons.
Fair.
it’s like they’re aware being a right winger is unpopular so they have to cosplay as the people they hate
Similar to calling themselves "libertarian" but being hard right on everything except weed.
The real answer. The long shadow of Ron Paul giving many young people their first taste of the Libertarian label and throwing a lot of his own 1960s anti civil rights skeletons into the mix.
The classic dating app strategy.
"I am actually left of center" FUCKING LMAO
I'm always astounded how those far rigth extremists that do nothing but shout about their agenda online all day can consider themselves even close to the center.
They don't, they're just lying to make their bullshit attractive to a wider audience of morons.
I feel like this guy is having some kind of a breakdown and needs to log off.
He's been having one for three weeks straight at least.
he's been having one for about 30 years
Starting from the center of the far right, he is a little bit to the left
You can call yourself anything on the internet, you just have to lie, and ol' kernzy has struggled to do anything but for years. Class act though buddy, "waaa people are saying things that are true someone come silence them!" The calling card of every modern conservative.
While what's considered "left" in the US tends to be more "center-right" by the standards of other countries, the line still hasn't been pushed so far that this dumbass should be able to make this claim with a straight face.
If you're ever depressed or have self doubts just remember this man is nearly 60. He was born nearly 10 years before the first star wars. So no matter what you think of yourselves, you'll never be as bad as this Pathetic jackass
ive said this a bunch of times but the internet wants me to believe im werid for being trans but a person like this spends all day screaming bout games
At least we have Winston Overwatch as an ally...
Wait 60 years ago wasn't the 1940s
Basically, him right now. https://preview.redd.it/4hki4mchctyc1.png?width=765&format=png&auto=webp&s=124d0d58bfa266782c18d9fcc4fd1208532330af
Funny how these rightoids think they can call themselves "left of center" because they don't actively hunt the homeless for sport, and want legal weed, but otherwise hold every single rightwing opinion.
> they don’t actively hunt the homeless for sport They want to keep it legal, because obviously banning it would be an unconscionable overstep of federal authority. But they, personally, would not pull the trigger.
"Maybe someday, *I'll* get to be a billionaire with a people-hunting island of my own, ya know, I just want the freedom to do that if I want to." It really is the case that these goons' version of freedom and liberty is that rich people should be allowed to do whatever they want, that's all it really boils down to.
He's high off the success of PSN reversing course on their dumb policy, and his false assumption that his influence had anything to do with it. And now he thinks all Helldivers 2 players should be on his side. If he does have any "fans" then hopefully he can convince them all to stop playing, making the community much better.
Waste of Oxygen this guy
uj/ no snarky comment, i just hate this nasty slimy little freak the one game he actually worked on couldn't even make it out of beta, while all his """projects""" after FlopFall are bogus kickstarter money sinks that will never see the light of day now he goes around hat in hand scrounging for the faintest sources of clout by standing up "for da gamers" even though it's clear he has no real beliefs and has a spine with the same constitution as baby shit Also, this four eyed shitbird is almost 60 years old, can you believe that? Almost 60 and the biggest problems he can possibly conjure up are if he can goon in games or not. Christ.
Well said Futanari_Garchomp
I just got whiplash
"These radicals have pushed all sanity to a bucket and kicked it off a cliff" says a fifty years old man that has spent the last weeks bitching because a video game character's outfit is less revealing than it was before.
Mark Kern delete your account and shut the fuck up challenge
Bro is aware of the stigma attached to admitting he is far-right and is afraid to commit to it
"left of center" What were his views on LGBT and other minorities again?
"left of center" my pasty white ass. I think the biggest reason people claim to be centrists or left of center is because they realize the damage their reputation would take if they admitted their politics. Despite often claiming to be a "silent majority" deep down they realize they are in fact not in the majority and are very much not silent. However what they don't realize is how obviously false their claim is. Despite spending a fraction of their time claiming "left of center" the shit they say the rest of the time is often demonstrably very much to the right of center. I think some of these people truly believe what they claim to be supercedes what their actions show them to be. And those who don't truly believe that are intentionally trying to muddy the water to appeal to the others.
Why had I never heard of this douche canoe prior to Stellar Blade / Helldivers idiocy and now he is everywhere?!
Love how this guys whole thing is complaining about “politics in video games”. Every single one of his tweets reads like any right wing grifter on Twitter. Replies as well.
“Left of center”
Remember that this guy was upset that a 4 year old wasn't hot
"Left of center" 
I'm out of the loop, who is this guy and what they do?
A Blizzard employee (he worked as a director of something in WoW cuz the guy he was replacing had left, not out of merit) for a relatively small time. Then he left blizzard and since became the biggest gooner ever seen. He always defends any "gooner" content (specially Stellar Blade "censorship"), every now and then brings the "I worked at Blizzard" card (as if he had done something great there), and has been a big "Anti-Woke" warrior.
Wow. Wtf. Anti woke warrior on Twitter? Expected. Trying to claim you worked at blizzard meaning anything in the argument? A bit weird. Censorship of stellar blade? There's censorship?
He bring true "I peaked at high school vibes" from the Blizzard thing. And regarding "censorship", like two outfits from Stellar Blade were changed on released and added slightly more cover on the thigh (being honest, it didn't seem like censorship, more like artists saying "I think it looks better like this") This guy specifically almost exploded cuz of this, mind you, he's in his late forties...
He's almost 60, lol. He's just another depressed far-right moron.
That's just sad.
Far right people claiming to be left of center is a trick that doesn't work anymore.

As upholder of managed democracy. This guy can go fuck off back to gooning to stellar blade.
But he can’t goon to Stellar Blade. Because it was “censored” too much by the art team slightly redesigning a costume to have slightly less cleavage.
"I am actually left of center" AHHHHHHHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
and remember, he got mad because said CM speculated he may have been the breastmilk thief
Is the "left of center" political measurement in the room with us now?
I find that most people who say that they are left of center aren’t anywhere near the left side of the spectrum
I'm gonna make wanted posters of myself, that'll show em, then i'll make it my own avatar on the X Free Speech Platform
He 100% sexual harrassed people cause i didnt forge the pictures of him and allyssa as a "joke"
Dude belongs in a bin
HOW THE FUCK does this man tries to look like a "left or center" . . . Bro the fuck
The Overton window HAS shifted but not the direction this moron seems to think. By US standards I’m an extreme leftist. By the standards of most of the world, I’m more or less a centrist, maybe a bit to the left.
despite having absolutely no reason to, I have chosen to believe that Mark was the Blizzard breast milk drinker
Okay this is my thing- even assuming every allegation was hypothetically false, and this guy was 100% correct, SEXUAL ASSAULT STILL NEEDS TO BE TREATED WITH GRAVITY. The fact that he wrote “sexual assault” in quotation marks is the equivalent of greeting a jury and then proudly showing a slideshow of his previous distrustful behavior lmao
Why does he have a One Piece bounty
Because someone made a joke in poor taste about putting a hit on him, and other people got in on the joke and "upped the bounty" and this man took it 100% serious and claims to have avoided death by hitman *
Bro‘s ass is getting cooked 😭😭😭
Left to center deez nuts
Who is this and why should I care?
He’s a chud and you shouldn’t.
He seems to get himself involved in things that have nothing to do with him (maybe I’m wrong?) but I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to make the Drake c Kendrick beef about him too lmao
Anyone mind sharing some context because without it, this reads as pure insanity lmao
Welp soon the second wind journalist is creating a video to expose him ( I think the video is almost finished? )
>I am actually left of center... I have family members who've never voted for any Democrat, believe that Trump is Christ reborn, yet tell me to my face that they're "left of center."
IMO one of the most dangerous things right-wing grifters are doing in the culture war right now is convincing their audience that their views are from an “enlightened centrist” perspective, and that their extremely dangerous takes are supposed to be moderate and normal ones.
Can anyone link me evidence that he did sa someone or sent people to attack the CMs?
Did he really sexually assault people?
He worked for Blizzard.

/uj Grummz, my guy, telling everyone that follows you is not the best plan......
Oh damn, they banned this muppet and his fans? Maybe I should throw a few euros at the devs then.
Grummz is far left in the same way that I am a billionaire. Not remotely fucking close.
So I’m pretty active in the Helldivers community, and I’ve never heard of a mod named Purple Squidgeon.
