    This also reminded me that in his short story “The Jaunt” Stephen King felt the need to include the following lines for no apparent reason:

    Ricky and Pat were watching him seriously, his son twelve, his daughter nine. He told himself again that Ricky would be deep in the swamp of puberty and his daughter would likely be developing breast by the time they got back to earth, and again found it difficult to believe.





  • Funny how there’s a bunch of people in the comments essentially just unironically repeating the meme: “Well this must be wrong because I believe this and I’m actually a centrist!!!”

    That’s the point, buddy. You’re the butt of the joke. The idea that the far-left and far-right are equally bad or warrant the same amount of scrutiny and criticism is a right-wing belief.

    To make the point more obvious instead of using “left” and “right” look at specific political beliefs that the far-left and far-right have:

    1. Equality across social and demographic groups vs. State-enforced racism, sexism and other kinds of bigotry

    2. Abolishment of bourgeois property and money vs. Complete privatization, oligarchy and corruption

    3. Globalization, peaceful relations and a right to live where you want vs. Complete isolationism and xenophobia

    4. Right to self-governance and no government with a monopoly on violence vs. State sanctioned violence against those considered undesirable or traitors

    Hopefully I don’t need to explain which one is obviously worse. To equate what the far-left and the far-right advocate for one must misrepresent the left, so both-sides-ism inherently has a right-wing slant.
