The & #39;Centrist is a slur!& #39; thing is hilarious, but as with & #39;TERF is a slur!& #39; it is both true and THE ACTUAL POINT. Like many on the left, I use & #39;centrist& #39; to mean & #39;despicable neoliberal sell-out.& #39; If we used & #39;moderate& #39; in that way instead, it would quickly come to mean the same.

The reason & #39;centrist& #39; is a slur is not because there is something inherently offensive about the word. It& #39;s because there& #39;s something inherently offensive about the people it describes. See also TERFs.

Centrist is a slur and oh, by the way, anyone to the left of me is a bastard.

The second paragraph there has the exact energy of Reginald Perrin& #39;s neighbour in the greatest scene ever written in the history of British sitcoms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ-9R6NCZ0A">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
