Why do humans have the tendency to go into extremes when it comes to political views? Most liberals I meet are full on retards who eat every last bit of the liberal dogma, but then again the same goes for most conservatives I meet as well.
Why is it so hard to realize that you don't have to slurp up every last drop of any ideology's teaching? A balanced, realistic world view consists of a combination of views borrowed from both sides of the great debate. No side is completely right or completely wrong, it just so happens that conservatist views are on average more accurate.

Because it is literally human psychology to have a Herd mentality. That's why we support fascism

lack of conviction and a desperate need for acceptance/to be on the "winning team"
people chimp out over sports, and the political arena surprises you?

Not exactly how it works, m8. Existing in a group gives rise to essentially a more unrestrained form of thinking due to an over-arching idea that in order to conform with the group, you express amplified views of what you actually believe.

What are some good liberal views?
>>74946589
Most people I've met are actually quite moderate desu
It's just the ones who get involved in politics fall into extremism

The fallacy of the middle ground.
Reality has a left wing bias.

It is not about finding a middle ground. You can't find a middle ground between different ideologies.
Reality has also a totalitarian bias.

Abortion, legalizing and heavily regulating drugs, the lack of the Patriot Act, anything that involves the government fucking off.

"Totalitarianism" is an exercise in eternal tail chasing. One totalitarian regime is overthrown and relpaced with another, ad nausem. History has show us this fact.
The only way to break out of the totalitarian loop is to flatten power relationships. Only the left can achieve this.

I also forgot gay marriage (partnered with the conservative ideology of being able to choose whether or not you wed the two homos in question).

Also degenerate
>>74947406
There's was no single totalitarian state where this happened.
>>74947581
At least it shows that some people value commitment.
>>74947747
They can commit without the government issuing them a license
Marriage abortion and drugs should be left up to the states
