Check in if you are a moderate


Fickle (moderate) - changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection.

quote:

Fickle, inconstant, capricious, vacillating describe persons or things that are not firm or steady in affection, behavior, opinion, or loyalty. Fickle implies an underlying perversity as a cause for the lack of stability: the fickle seasons, disappointing as often as they delight; once lionized, now rejected by a fickle public. Inconstant suggests an innate disposition to change: an inconstant lover, flitting from affair to affair. Capricious implies unpredictable changeability arising from sudden whim: a capricious administration constantly and inexplicably changing its signals; a capricious and astounding reversal of position. Vacillating means changeable due to lack of resolution or firmness: an indecisive, vacillating leader, apparently incapable of a sustained course of action.

Leftist...Tax the rich and build a 100 foot bridge to cross the river.
Rightist...Too expensive. We can continue using the ferry.
Moderate...Let's compromise. For 1/2 the cost we can build a 50 foot bridge halfway across the river.

I am a moderate. Some people would like God to destroy all the liberals. I only want God to destroy most of the liberals.

Any liberal that claims to be a moderate is a lying motherfricker. There is nothing moderate about wanting to turn the greatest and most free nation in the history of the world into a socialist, totalitarian state.

I don't feel they are equally dangerous. I think the far-right is much smaller than the media wants us all to believe. I've never met or know of a single person who I'd consider "far-right." "Far-left" on the other hand, I know several. I also think the media has overblown how big this group is as well, though it's much bigger than the far right.

I used to call myself a moderate in college. Mainly because I didn't want to label myself and believed I can think for myself and vote based on my values...not someone else's. I guess I still am a moderate? Lately, I feel like I've grown further and further away from most leftist ideologies. They've just become too detached from reality.

The far right:



How many of these guys are in congress? How many have their points of view amplified by major news publications? When is the last time you saw a Buzzfeed/Atlantic/Slate article entitled "Why The white ethno-state could be the solution we all need"? You never see that, because it is abhorrent and stupid.

The far left:



Buzzfeed - 21 Things Only True Comrades Will Appreciate

This stuff is out there and just straight up does not get the push back that is afforded to the far right. There are numerous people near the levers of power who were actual members of the communist party. John Brennan, anyone? How many former skinheads have primetime cable shows? Elected to national office? None, and rightly so.

The cultural apparatuses of this country will destroy a Nazi, but not a Maoist. There is no argument to be made that the far left and far right pose equal threats.

Not a moderate. Just a common senser. If you won't stand for something, then you'll stand for anything.

You’re either a conservative or a pussy. It’s a binary position.
