“Beware The Centrist.” That’s good advice! It doesn’t mean that you should feel great about the frothing, rabid reactionary autocrats running everything now, but it does indicate that you should be plenty suspicious of the mealy-mouthed fence-sitters types whose general inaction and preening self-regard led us right into our current predicament. It’s also a nice reminder to pay attention whenever those supposed centrists insist that fucked-up extremist positions — things like the unquestioning support of genocidal mass-murder — are actually the nuanced, common-sense approach to take. Anyway, that good advice is also the title of the new single from stormy DIY crusaders The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die.
