The center will lead to the alt-right again. Look at Bayrou who talk about “subversion migratoire”, Darmanin telling lepen she’s soft on imigrants or even Macron rolling the red carpet for the alt-right.

( Note : liberals are not leftist in Europe, they are center right, the left would be socialist ) Outside of France it’s the same, liberals are all too happy to welcome fascist if it help protect the establishment. In France we even have a saying for that : “Plutôt Hitler que les Front populaire” ( meaning people in power would prefer Nazi to a change in hierarchy, “Rather Hitler than the popular front” ).

All of that to say, don’t hope centrist will do anything other than open the door when fascism come.

Honestly this should be a wake call to the FOSS community that we are way too reliant on the US.

Every default we have is US centric and if FOSS is really meant for everyone we should move away from that.
