It is emotionally and intellectually painful using critical thinking while those around you are calling the other side Nazis.

1 Nazis are bad 2 The other side are bad 3 The other side are Nazis Optional: add an example that confirms bias

Both sides calling the others Nazis doesn’t imply that centrists are using critical thinking. It just means that one side is lying. Nazism is a far right ideology.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.”

— Jean-Paul Sartre

  Nazis and tankies are both totalitarian - people just seem to have forgotten the term.
