You're ascribing a few motives to centrism that are hyperbolic at best. quote:They want education not because they want to arm the people with knowledge, but so that people can drag themselves onto the higher rungs of wage slavery. Wage slavery isn't a goal of centrists. Education of the populace leads to a better world for all of us, and is pretty universally revered among centrists I've met. Distributive and executive power absolutely should be held in the hands of educated representatives, that have been voted on by the people. Tyranny of the majority is a monstrous thing, and would absolutely result in horror for those in the minority. Self determination is important, but making decisions that effect others should require education and ethics, rather than a simple majority opinion. Centrism isn't always right, but it's not nearly as horrible as the Right.

Rent-A-Cop posted:Turning over the government to the Keystone Kops of torture is not an outcome preferable to a democratically elected government you don't like. "Elected government you don't like." is putting it a tad mildly. Jeb Bush, would be someone most "don't like." Openly corrupt, racist human avatar of mammon itself Donald Trump, along with his absolute lunatic cabinet picks, are existential threats to the future of the United States. These men are so brazenly horrible, that some TV Executive in the 90's thought "Nah. Captain Planet wouldn't be nearly as believable with people like them as the villains."
