If the observer is extremely far left, and thinks he is only slightly left of center, then almost everyone else will be in his opinion, right wingers and right wingers will be far right wingers.

The center is relative, but if the center keeps moving that has to be noted. The center in 2003 was a lot different than the center in 1973. I'm sure you're aware of that. You're a pseudo-libertarian but also somewhat friendly to the NeoCon philosophy, and I'm a libertarian socialist. Where the fuck does that put us? We're both close as far as libertarianism and far because I'm far left and you're far right. The center between our philosophies wouldn't be the actual center, but a center towards libertarianism, sorta.
Perhaps it's the oversimplification of what center really means that has everyone confused.

I go to
Bond meetings. They're like Bund meetings, but they're not Godwins.
