Or maybe we shouldn't exterminate anyone, nor let millions of people die in starvation in a failed attempt to "get everyone's basic needs met".

You know, the actual centrist position.

I see people starving on the streets right now living in America. The fun part is homelessness and hunger isn't solved because it's turned into an industry. Money above all else babyyyy.

That was my point, if you go in either extreme, far left or far right, you end up with a lot of homelessness and starvation... And yes, in my European opinion USA is extreme right even on a sunny day. Thus the rampant misery.

Centrists spent the past year arguing that their genocide was the lesser evil.

Who are these centrists you all are talking about? I have realized that what you Americans consider far left is actually center-leftists/social democrats. By that skewed lens I can only assume that centrists to you are pretty extreme right.

You Americans need to calibrate your political compasses to global standards, because out here wanting universal health care is not far left, it is centrist, maybe center-left on a rainy say.

Those weren't really centrists. They were right-wing, but not as right-wing and authoritarian as Trump.
