What Radicalised British Centrists?
88For this month's second video I decided to look back and think about what is at the time of publishing my most popular video which was about aggro-centrism and instead of focussing on a specific subsection of British centrists I wanted to look at all of them.
Why are they all so difficult for the left to even communicate with on a basic level? I thought about this and it reminded me of trying to communicate with other groups that you would reasonably describe as both alienated from the left and radicalised towards the right.
In an effort to understand why this has happened, I decided to think a bit about how centrists think, particularly about government and who should be involved in governing and whether that tells us anything about their vulnerability to this kind of radicalisation towards the right.
