Moonbat Denounces Centrist Privilege

White privilege has not yet been eradicated and already Chapman University political science student Matthew Q. Joy has discovered another menace: centrist privilege.

Barack Obama is a holder of centrist privilege, because “society lauded him a liberal icon” even though he failed to impose socialized medicine. Hillary Clinton is guilty too, because she proposed a minimum wage hike less economically catastrophic than what Bernie Sanders has demanded. Those who don’t want to fight “economic discrimination” by forcing taxpayers to pick up the full tab for Matthew’s pernicious studies may also be guilty of centrist privilege.

If it is socially unacceptable to be against abortion rights for women, civil rights for racial minorities and equal rights for the LGBTQIA+ community, it should be just as unacceptable to oppose providing healthcare to the uninsured, a living wage for the working poor and education for those subjected to the student loan crisis.

In places like college, it really is socially unacceptable to disapprove of the desecration of marriage, killing inconvenient children, and special privileges for politically favored minority groups. Before long, it will be socially unacceptable to object to being sent off to a gulag on suspicion of believing in private property.

Centrism is as vile as right-wing conservatism, but it contains the additional atrocity of having no social consequences for holding views that leave fellow Americans at a disadvantage. This creates a type of privilege. … Just as progressives denounce white privilege, it is time to denounce centrist privilege.

Remember moonbats: everything to the right of all the way left is vile. That message will win the hearts and minds of the regular Americans you so conspicuously despise.
