Leftists wish many centrists (who always appear to be right-wingers) would value human life over 'harm reduction' a.k.a. perpetuating a system that causes widespread harm, death, and suffering.
Imagine how much better the world could be if we didn't have to constantly fight with 'centrists' to do the right thing instead of them trying to meet the far-right in a compromise.
Let's do a thought experiment.
You have a group of people who grumble about the status quo but are fed information that any change to the status quo is bad for them.
There's a filthy rich dude who controls the information they are being fed.
You have two options:
Number 1 has around 0,00001% of succeeding.
Number 2 has around 30% of succeeding.
Which do you choose?
What exactly do you think they are trying to reduce the harm to if not human life?
They're trying to reduce the harm to their own privilege.
You never hear people talking about "harm reduction" for palestinians, etc.
It's strictly about keeping chuck and nancy happy.
OK, I guess it depends a lot on who is saying it. Individuals I can believe, but the grifters in power are bullshitting like usual.
Property. Wealth.
