this meme is misrepresenting a centrist misunderstanding modern liberals and conservatives with a literal slave owner and a slave.
those parties are not analagous.
centrists don't believe that slave owners and slaves are the same, and it is lazy and detrimental to misunderstand and then misrepresent any group so that others misunderstand political concepts as poorly as this poster repeatedly does.
OP is simply trying to stoke contempt, which is unhelpful.
they are memers operating on bad information, not activists.
there are plenty of valid jokes you can make about centrists, this poster repeatedly misunderstands and misrepresents political concepts as something to be reviled and disdained for no other reason than to breed polarization.
Let me dissect the joke for you:
The overwhelmingly vast majority of people proclaiming to be (enlightened)centrists are in fact hugely regressive rightwing conservatives.
And they will happily vote the political party full of people who publicly judge black people for having slaveholders among their ancestors, without a clue as to how that may have happened.
"The overwhelmingly vast majority of people proclaiming to be (enlightened)centrists are in fact hugely regressive rightwing conservatives."
incorrect.
The point of the meme is that centrists claiming to see both sides of an issue would see something as extreme as slavery similarly, which is inaccurate trolling.
If your "joke" is simply to make things up to sow discord, you're no better than MAGA.
making people angry at entire groups for zero reason based on inaccurate information is not a "joke".
also, bear in mind that the post history of this OP troll is fraught with misinformation.
Oof this dude doesn't get hyperbole or jokes lol
yea, with static reasoning a bit beyond their grasp, comic hyperbole is an extra orbit out for OP.
