The idea of alt-centrism occurred to me to, but I took it in a pretty different direction.

For me it's an acceptance that many of the right's diagnoses about how badly we're doing are right, but their prescriptions are terrible.

Anyway, I'd be interested in any thoughts. I wrote some of it up here

There's a bit of a branding issue:

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Alt-center

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/alt-center

to bo honest new alt center could be read more as political region, not the brand

like fascism and Marxism are far right /left, but their brand is a bit different

Pan-Enclavism & True Freedom are exciting ideas but how would they be applied to age old problems such as law & order, water rights, education, and so forth? Even if California were a nation state today, life could get complicated (and conflicted) very quickly without a shared value system, infrastructure, and legal framework.
