I believe there are definitely polarizing forces at work,

This is the important part because it explains the extremes – boogie man terms included.

As much as I understand 'the left', when looking from their own perspective and through their own ideologically-tinted glasses, I still believe that 'the right' is justified in this ideological battle.

I can 'understand' both sides to an extent, but for reasons, I can't fully support any unwavering or extreme leaning toward either.

(Following edited for clarification/relevance)

I respect everyone's right to be on the 'left' or 'center' but I don't find [that] positions to be justified.

For the record, when I claim a position of center, it's not that there isn't areas of agreement and compromise available, it's just that I will always try to avoid being influenced by the very obvious left/right partisanship. I prefer discussing all this stuff with those who can at least suspend left/right affiliation to look at everything – this requires suspending propaganda/bias against and for 'your side'.

Asking me to justify my position will almost definitely lead to an argument, no matter whether a leftist or right-winger is the one to ask me lol.

Here's something I can say though:

  • The corruption we're fighting uses left vs. right division to its advantage and corruption stemming from this 'centrist corruption' (there, I said it, your true enemy is the corrupt center (often masquerading as a left/right affiliate) – no, I'm not corrupt-center lol) infects both sides.
  • To date, I've seen more overt corruption from the left than I have the right, in many departments.
  • I've known about the corruption on the right for longer than the left, though that was early days and I didn't 'dig' back then.

By 'centrist corruption', do you mean the Clintons/NoName and their cohorts ?
