    And, of course, just in case you’re the type of centrist hack who says it doesn’t matter that he’s a violent authoritarian fascist because you can “separate art from the artist”, Modretro has done the rhetoricians (i.e. me) a favor by announcing a special Anduril-themed version of the Chromatic, covered in Anduril branding and made of “the same magnesium aluminum alloy as Anduril’s attack drones” last December. They were sold as a limited edition directly through Anduril’s merchandise store.

    They sold out day one.

      I grow weary of limited USAian “there are only two truths” viewpoint. It’s high time we cut the cord from US media and all the bullshit opinions that come with it. They have managed to make being rational and level-headed a curse word. “centrist” 🙄 People who unironically use that word in a derogatory fashion sound like those who still believe in things like the disney portrayal of the world. “real love”, “true love”, “forever and ever”

        Weird cus that is exactly how centrists sound to everybody else lol

        No, it is conservatives that despise rationality and level-headedness and it is precisely centrists that sat by and let this mode of thinking proliferate even as leftists were sounding the alarm.

        Centrists were busy wringing their hands in nervousness about all the things conservatives told them about leftists and barely noticed when January 6th happened. This pattern can be demonstrated ad naseum across modern neoliberal societies.

        You are mistaking a worship of the status quo with a sense of reasonableness and a desire for justice and equality.
