> Both ends of the political spectrum (the far left and the far right) express this view. I'd strike this phrase, because it's far from clear what the "far left" is. Is it wealthy Silicon Valley liberals with radical ideas about gender? Or is it for instance the trotskyist World Socialist Web Site, which buy Russian false flag conspiracy claims but are free speech absolutists? And "far right", are we talking about Ayn Rand fans, neo-traditionalist catholic populists like JD Vance etc, or neonazi militias? Last of all, is the political center necessarily more honest or devoted to good faith public debate? Not that I can see. Their strategies can be different, since they can get away with just never acknowledging disagreement, which makes little sense for small fringes, but there's nothing inherently honest or good-willed about centrism.
