gollark: So we've all seen arachnocommunism. But what about arachnoCAPITALISM?
gollark: If you ask a centrist, they will probably say that they dislike crime and would prefer to get rid of it if it was somehow possible.
gollark: I mean, it's not like centrists support crime because crime is something which currently happens.
gollark: Generally centrism means "agreeing with the current political system mostly as is" or "being in the middle of two/however many extremes", not "agreeing with everything which currently exists".
gollark: Hmm. I suppose that's centrist in some ways.
