  • Sorry I meant I think of you as peak centrist-dad, not conservative.

    And obviously in a joking-reclaim-the-word-way.

  • Sorry I meant I think of you as peak centrist-dad.

    Genuinely amazed that is what I give off online tbh. I really think any effort at nuance on the internet falls on death ears.

    Edit: Aaaaah...I know why. Its because I grumble about the left of the Labour party being in sabotage mode and think Starmer is doing a reasonable job at maximising the chances of winning the next election. That does not make me a centerist. That makes me an observationist. It does not represent my own political beliefs.

  • That makes me an observationist

    Doesn't everyone think that?
    "I make rational decisions based on logical inference from evidence; YOU are ideological / tribal / in hock to the Party"

  • Genuinely?

    For me it's a few things namely;

    • tendency to consider other view points/factors - aka "boths-sides" in modern parlance
    • not holding extreme and unrealistic opinions/considering the practical
    • failure to put all the things in binary opposition
