This argument never made sense to me.

Don't worry, it's just because they're not arguing from a place of good faith. They are often not even serious or thoughtful enough to even understand that they're arguing in bad faith, it's just they have strong feelings and not enough capability to form logical arguments in their heads to fight their own discomfort with foreigners or people of color or having to respect people's gender identity. (It's almost ALWAYS about race or sex.)

This is why centrism is dead. There is no "middle ground" between having paralyzing hangups and emotion-driven policies and not having these things. Either you get incredibly sweaty and ashamed watching interracial cuckolding porn or you're chill and don't care. There is very little overlap.
