Most centrist parties like Macron’s are center right on the global scale, which makes them SOCIALISTS on the American scale.

Nit here, but if most centrist parties globally are center-right on the global scale, then aren’t they actually just center-center on the global scale?

Pretty much this

“Center” should theoretically represent someone who has no preference between socialism/communism and capitalism, based on how we use the left/right scale, no? I think people commonly use “center” when they mean “median,” which I think is what you’re doing here, but if we’re using left/right to distinguish between beliefs, it’s possible that more than half of the population ends up on one side of the scale.

Somehow in the UK both interviewers and interviewees are so much better at just reacting to bullshit by treating it like bullshit.

I’m sure this has been posted but holy shit agree

I should not know who Pete Buttigieg is. In a just world, the name Bari Weiss would mean as much to me as Nordic runes. This goes for people who actually might read Nordic runes too. No Swede deserves to be burdened with this knowledge. No Brazilian should have to regularly encounter the phrase “Dimes Square.” To the rest of the vast and varied world, My Pillow Guy and Papa John should be NPCs from a Nintendo DS Zelda title, not men of flesh and bone, pillow and pizza. Ted Cruz should be the name of an Italian pornstar in a Love Boat porn parody.

This is a local Salt Lake City reporter nobody ever heard of. He might agree from a personal pov but getting a disproportionate amount of right wing nutjob attention is probably good for his career.
