Ooops, sorry, I forgot that it’s still perfectly legal in the US.
Just your average friendly neighbourhood radical.

Some people think liberal is right-wing, just not extreme
What can possibly be more extreme than being pro-capitalist? Even a fascist can be made to admit that there is more to water than merely it’s market value.
And even “center” is a vague term to begin with.
That’s the whole point of “centrism” - vagueness. You can hide all kinds of right-wing garbage under “centrism.”
The second amendment was to defend Americans from tyranny.
Oh, give it a break.
2A legalized colonialist white supremacist violence against slave rebellions and native peoples. That’s it.
Liberals want rights and liberties for all except for the impoverished and repressed labour that makes liberalism possible.
FTFY.
Short answer liberals are the leftmost of the centrists,
Liberals are not “centrists.” They are right-wingers. If you are pro-capitalism, you are a right-winger. It doesn’t matter how “nice” liberals try to pretend to be about it.
No ifs, ands or buts.
Modern Liberals support market economies,
That’s a very diplomatic way of saying liberals are pro-capitalism and pro-imperialism.
You forgot progressives, too.
What is so vague about them?
They seem perfectly clear-cut to me.
Didn’t the whole “end of history” thing become pretty much a joke when the 2008 recession hit?
It works on liberals because they pretend to be the “good” cop. Give something similar to Trump and you’ll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.
Oh look… it’s Genocide Joe.
Oh, it’s going to stick to you and every other liberal. And we’ll be here to make sure you never forget it.
How is your genocide coming along?
You mean, apart from liberals?
I would love to be given a few minutes worth of grace to edit some minor spelling and/or grammar mistakes once I’ve hit the “post” button.
Don’t do that. Never underestimate how violent they can get at the smallest (or even non-existent) provocation.
Treat them like you would a rabid animal.
Sooooo, the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the DEA…
Take your pick.
It’s amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.
Rddit just feels like it’s actively trying to get you to leave it.
You’re talking about a fascist, not an “extreme conservative.” And you cannot persuade them “toward center” because there is no such thing as a political “center.” Never has been.
Throwing a spanner in their brain washing is actually a lot easier than people think… but only if you understand their socio-economic conditions. There’s a lot of contradictions bubbling under the surface of right-wing ideology - the trick is to exploit those.
You forget he also played Goldmember in the third movie.
