Let's be honest, the Nazis and Tankies align on like 98% of policy. They both support Donald Trump, for example. They both enable ethnostates to send minorities to camps. They believe in a nation ruled by one supreme absolute leader.

MODERATORS
if you were a centrist before 2020, and you still are in 2025, then you've moved Right, since the Overton window shifted Right.
if you kept your principles you're now Left. that's how the window works.
it is very clear you don't live in a small southern county
The very model of the modern major liberal.
I'm too uneducated on politics (read: stupid) to even know what left and right means. Where do I land
Right: in favor of privately owned means of production.
Left: in favor of publicly owned means of production.
Can I be a leftist without being a tankie then?
Yes? You do realize tankies are a minority group and that in many nations "leftist" is just a normal political position?
I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to say here
I think they're interpreting your response to the meme as "centrism bad" while the meme in question only offers Nazi, Tankie, or Centrist. These sort of mixups happen in these discussions where the implied context is just so massive.

The enlightened centrism is strong in this one. No, the US don't have a conflict of left vs. right. The conflict is between the right and everyone else. And most of the right are just rubes who think they being part of some kind of movement but in reality are just being fleeced by a bunch of grifters
Perfect example of this was Jimmy Kimmel. He openly said that shooting a commentator was a horrible thing, and tried to call for moderation. MAGA declared that wasn’t enough, and ordered him fired.
They have specified that if you’re not with them, you’re against them.
Grifters? They’re hellbent on christofascism.
And if they suffer under that Christofacist regime they helped bring about? That is righteous and holy suffering, and their reward will be eternal in Heaven.
Voting against their interest? No, they are voting in their eternal interests, so what does it matter if they endure poverty, violence, sickness, famine and the destruction of our biome in this life? 'Tis but a moment before the beauty they have earned in the Here After brother!
I'd say the curve it's much flatter on the left side. As in right side is shouting tankie, meanwhile there are like 2 tankies and the right wants to set the whole barn on fire to get them both.
Not just the right vs. everyone else, the right vs. everyone. The right is also fighting itself.
The left is also fighting itself. Literally the comment chains in this post are prime examples.
People who probably align with the majority of the stances, tearing each other down with bad faith arguments, grandstanding over the remaining things they disagree on.
"Perfect is the enemy of good."
I might not politically align with the average .ml user, but my views are a hell of a lot closer aligned with them than MAGAt views.

It's not a bell curve. It's a trumpet headed to the right.
Uh... fucking cope hard. The Nazis won't care about your enlightened centrism when they arrest you for being brown and/or the wrong kind of white.
If you think the next US civil war will be fought between Nazis and Marxist-Leninists, you don't understand American politics very well. The US in 2025 isn't Stalingrad in 1942.

!enlightenedcentrism@lemmy.world
This can be attributed to a method of gaining and maintaining political power called divide and conquer. Poisoning the discourse with targeted manipulation in (social) media, while treating politics as kind of bizarre and grievous reality TV show, where everyone is trying to throw the biggest pile of verbal shit on the other.
Ideological polarization is actually pretty low among average Americans. It’s mostly felt among the highly politically engaged and politicians. So to that extent, this image seems accurate.
