A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆"Meet me in the middle," says the unjust man.
You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.
"Meet me in the middle," says the unjust man.
Chris Brown@JuliusGoat ….takes a step to the right. “You’re the one’s going more left! “
Benson S.@JuliusGoat that’s a good way to explain the Overton window… 😅
MostlyTato@JuliusGoat
All to true, a good way to shift the Overton window.
If its Ok with you, I might steal that for future use.

twilwel antifascist@JuliusGoat a kick in the middle

PirateRo@JuliusGoat very much what the Republican Party and their religious contingent have been doing trying to move the conversation to the right. People have had enough of both, so now they’ve added Russians, because of course they would.
Tofu Golem@JuliusGoat
If you sing the "but both sides" song and one side is demonstrably wrong, then you are adding weight and credibility to the side that is wrong.
Nazis: Let's exterminate the Jews.
Decent person: You're terrible for saying that. Let's not exterminate anyone!
Mainstream media: Both sides are so extreme! I can't decide which is worse! WHY IS EVERYTHING SO POLARIZED?

Leslie 🇺🇸🌻🌈 🌊@classical_dee @JuliusGoat I feel like forwarding this to Mona Charen 🙄
The Way of Accountability@JuliusGoat there is no compromising with injustice
Colin Watson
BarryP@JuliusGoat Good description of how the British government handles pay negotiations.
Raj 🇬🇧🇪🇺💻🖥(🌻🇺🇦;🇵🇸)@JuliusGoat I went looking for the source of this and found a bird post 3 years ago. Is it yours, or is there another origin? Just interested. (And impressed at the effectiveness.)
@JuliusGoat Well it's brilliantly concise and insightful. That's the Tweet I found, so I did think it might be.
I was just a little surprised, because it has the feel of something that has been around for decades or even centuries.
fritzcokid@JuliusGoat or, you take one step towards the unjust man, he moves 2 steps back and complains YOU are moving further away

@JuliusGoat who is being a centrist?

Dirty Hippie@ddbuskirk @JuliusGoat You beat me to it. One of my favorite memes of recent times.
Simon Brooke@JuliusGoat And this is exactly the way the Overton window in UK politics has moved so far to the right over my lifetime.
Harold Macmillan and Edward Heath were both by far too left wing to sit in Keir Starmer'sshadow cabinet.
@JuliusGoat When will NYTimes et al get hip to this?
Ton Chrysoprase@JuliusGoat It’s an ad hominem attack to call me unjust and point out my deceptive tactics, says the unjust man.
Lilly Hunter@JuliusGoat "Lexa, tell me how the Overton window works"
@JuliusGoat I date a gal like that. It didnt take too many step before I figured it out.
leork@JuliusGoat "2 Party System" in practice.
Ionni_co@JuliusGoat relevant. Nice one. Cheers.
@JuliusGoat Ah, Mr. Overton...Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Edge@JuliusGoat 1000x this sentiment.
@JuliusGoat sadly true 💔

@JuliusGoat this is exactly how moderates/political centrists empower white supremacy and mysogyny

@JuliusGoat
The leftist observes that 2 + 2 = 4
The fascist insists that 2 + 2 = 6
The centrist, seeking compromise, proposes that 2 + 2 = 5.

TransitBiker@JuliusGoat the water horse of injustice.

Skully@JuliusGoat a revolutionary will stay on the side of the working class and try to convince the most class conscious/advanced of the working class to take up the fight for world socialist revolution. Many people that I thought were revolutionaries said "meet them where they're at" that means they join the party under false pretenses. The amount of people in PBP Ireland that aren't revolutionaries is immense.

Dustin D. Wind@JuliusGoat ...and that was how we mostly reverted to the days of The Jungle (1906), in just over a century. 😥

Dannyboyguyman@JuliusGoat meet me in the middle, only halfway to ruin
Monica Cellio@JuliusGoat reminds me of something I saw (source unknown) during the Trumpist reign:
R: Is it ok if I burn down your house?
D: Wtf? no!
R: Ok, I'll only burn the second floor.
D: No!
R: One room.
D: No! Knock it off.
R: How will we ever get anywhere if you refuse to compromise?
Max Leibman has moved!@JuliusGoat @RavynWitch Even if he stood still, there are many positions held by unjust men with which there can be no middle ground.
The compromise position on racism is still racism. The compromise position on trans right is still anti-trans rights. The compromise position on genocide is still genocide.
