Hit me up when you obtain the ability to provide an argument.

Not really, I provided some examples to some other user where they were clearly “centrists”. There were people who leaned more on both sides and the advancement was achieved by someone who was more moderate.

• The post-WW2 transition to liberal democracy in Germany, Italy (Adenauer and De Gasperi): Adenauer and De Gasperi were the leaders of the respective christian-democratic parties and led the transition of their countries away from 2 of the worst dictatorships humankind has ever seen
• ending apartheid in South Africa: F. W. De Klerk was South Africa’s last apartheid president and although he represented the party which created apartheid, he acted as a centrist. He sidelined the far right wings of his party, released Nelson Mandela’s and ended the system. Nelson Mandela also adopted pretty reconciliatory policies once he became president.
• 1991 economic reforms in India: the centrist Indian National Congress party adopted sweeping reforms that enabled India to face the crisis it was going through and speed up its GDP per capita growth.

I don’t have time to finish but you can easily find more information about the rest in any contemporary history textbook or on the internet.

Point out which of these don’t have elements of “centrism” plz

The post-WW2 transition to liberal democracy in Germany, Italy (Adenauer and De Gasperi), and in general European integration; ending apartheid in South Africa; 1991 economic reforms in India; Deng Xiaoping’s socialist market economy in China which lifted millions from destitution; Chile’s transition to democracy; the labor-capital compromise in Scandinavia which allows them to have very free markets and very strong welfare systems at the same time.

I could go on.

Many of the greatest political advancements in the history of humanity were achieved by people you’d call “centrists”.

Gotta love how the Reddit and now Lemmy community is constantly against every single kind of technological advancement and they constantly end up being wrong a few years down the line.

Why should’t we take down things that are heading for a town or a city?

Good. Keep it up.

I don’t think there was any specific target. They’re testing NATO readiness and defences.

I really don’t understand why we keep appeasing them, only for them to escalate even further.

Russia jamming the President’s plane would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

Ive personally seen (and removed) these in some places in Italy.

They’re starting to realise caving and bootlicking is no way to deal with bullies?

Most moderate lemmy user when talking about digital freedom:

Nothing at all. No law proposal has happened yet, nothing official.

I really doubt something like Chat Control will ever pass.

Sounds like they are getting more serious now. Some ECB documents about the possible marketshare were also leaked recently.

We’ll see.

That’s why the ECB is building the digital euro

I mean my statement is pretty broad, there might be some landlords somewhere who do things that are either ethically or legally wrong. But in general they aren’t doing either. Landlords are people who invest their money and time in housing and just like any investment they want it to be profitable. If it’s too profitable it’s not their fault, it’s that we have to build more houses, have better transportation and better public housing to ease off pressure on the private market, not kill all landlords.

Only difference is the EU doesn’t engage in electoral manipulation and Russia does.

EU is supporting a country against Russian infiltration attempts aimed at destabilising it and undoing its democratic institutions in order for it to become a Russian puppet state.

Russia engages in electoral manipulation in basically the entire western world by means of media propaganda schemes, funding of eurosceptic parties, bot farms, etc. EU doesn’t.

Get your head out of your Russian manipulated ass.

The German Federal President is elected by parliament + some representatives from each regional council, so I don’t think that’s a threat for now but it certainly will in the next popular vote.
