  1. Moderate centrists are just political sports announcers. They stand on the sidelines shouting, "Look! See? They're doing the awful thing! Watch!" but they never actually interfere.

    They tell you to protest until you burn out, while your emails and letters go straight to the spam box, and then they promise to fix it "next time" if you just vote for them again — except "next time" never comes.

    Watch how they play the game: they try to pass a progressive agenda only when conservatives have full control, making it dead on arrival, and when they have full control, they suddenly pivot to demanding unity, telling us that change and accountability have to wait while crying about how conservatives are stopping them.

    Funny how when conservatives are in charge, nobody stops them. It is all just a white-label product with different packaging and the exact same corporate soup inside.

    Unity without accountability is just a hostage situation, and I am done falling for it.

  5. […] authoritarian liberals who, once in power, consider resorting to force because they know full well that their policies are unpopular; those same authoritarian liberals who want to form an alliance with the far right, who back down because it wants too much, and finally take a gamble on entrusting it with power…"

    Johan Chapoutot wrote about Germany in 1932

  6. I didn't stop to transcribe the exact quote. But Hipkins said that when he gives interviews, his target audience is the person who voted Labour in 2020, but switched to the Nats in 2024;

    I have thoughts.

    First, this dogma clashes directly with his more nuanced comment earlier in the podcast. That the centre is *not* the space between the two biggest parties, but rather the space of the uncommitted voter.

    Je rappelle qu'Élucide fonctionne grâce aux dons de ses abonnés, dont je fait parti vous l'aurez déduit 🙂

    “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.” — Lord Acton

    Ah tiens, Bonaparte était d'extrême centre! 😲
