EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)

Holy fuck, it seems like there are only 2 extreme opposite sides and both are full of shit, clowns and morons. Why can't we just have some middle ground?
There is no such thing. That's like asking to only kill half a person to meet in the middle.
Why are people this days totally incapable of understanding what moderation means?
There's some truth to this "mind Virus" idea.
Moderation doesn't mean "I would only like half the holocaust" - it means understanding that not every single thing everyone who claims to align with your politics does is "good", and that people who have an different suggestion for how to solve a problem aren't "evil".
Politics has gotten crazy and comments like yours really don't help
Because it requires nuance and that just too big of sacrifice to make when you have to be right about everything.
I know right? It's like, I don't think nonwhites are inferior, but I also don't think free markets are a viable means to solve the social evils of bigotry, war, and environmental devastation. If only there was a political camp for me!
