Liberals want to ally with corporations against the white working class. That’s the simplest way of explaining my centrism, and why I think left deviations lead people to the same place as right deviations. It was true in Russia too, except “white” wasn’t the identity.
Everything starts to make sense when you realize that liberals view white workers as deplorable racists. They’re not seeking the construction worker or truck driver or even the white computer programmer. It’s a mistake to associate liberals with a class based idea.
Only centrists can support the ethnic majority working class. Leftists will deviate due to points around race and identity politics, and rightists will deviate in a more overt way to the business class.
