When did politics become so polarized? It's like everyone these days is either a hardcore SJW libcuck or a far-right fundie retard. What's wrong with being a moderate?
you need to spend literally any time looking through politics. people have been extreme forever but you're falling for the "it was better before" meme.
just look up anything regarding Jefferson
The center position is for pussy cowards that sit on the fence, they also get the perk of always being right because it's easier to flip flop.
basically
>le rationale level headed man meme
>leeee modeerratteee
ie liberal democrat
kill yourself

SJW destroyed any chance of being a moderate. Welcome to the world they created. You either combat their evil empire or join them.
After the end of the cold war. It started in the 90s, really took hold with "P.C. culture" in the 2000s, and became militant in the 10s.
>>29083365
probably because sjws are literally in real life sith they even turn on their own and force everything to be absolutes

>forefathers used to be physically harassed and intimidated in their own homes if they were even suspected to be communist sympathizers
>you're defeated at the prospects of a fat chick shaming you in a tumblr post
Truly the weakest generation. You're as big of pussies as the fat cunts you say you hate.
>Hear about the SJW menace from 4chan
>Go to uni
>Have conversation with a typical blue-haired chubby SJW girl
>She is very reasonable, can see both sides of an issue, and can point out advantages/disadvantages both genders go through
idk man I don't judge people anymore
>>29083365
define 'moderate'. If by 'moderate' you mean just sitting and calling both sides stupid you need to check yourself out and actually do some digging on different political viewpoints
>>29083708
I call people fat to their face. I'm not afraid of them. I just hate them and prefer to fight them from the shadows like infiltrating them and destroying them from within.
>>29083365
Many people are going far in both directions because moderates are owned by corporations and basically do nothing but cause damage to their countries (See Obama).
>not being moderate anarchist
Dummies.
>>29083746
that is an excellent ms paint and has thoroughly discredited that view
>>29083779
>I call people cis scum to their face. I'm not afraid of them. I just hate them and prefer to fight them from the shadows like infiltrating them and destroying them from within.
Keep on rebelling against the debasers of society. You'll show them all.
Anyone who isn't radicalized probably is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Basically a libertarian.
>>29083365
It's ingroup/outgroup shit.
>anyone who agrees with me is an X
>anybody who disagrees with me is a Y
The majority of people seem to be very unintelligent and willfully ignorant. Plus the stupider people behave, the easier it is to control them.
>liberals are so dumb, they think anyone who doesn't accept their opinion as the objective truth is an enemy
>how do you know if someone is a liberal? they're anyone who doesn't accept MY opinion as the objective truth!
Why are liberals so fucking stupid
Fucking dumb liberals.
fucking commies
Being a moderate is only enabling social justice warriors, nigger lives matter, and socialist bernouts.
>>29083746
>If by 'moderate' you mean just sitting and calling both sides stupid
No, both sides have their right and both sides have their wrong
>>29083365
Because the narrative is dominated by SJWs and psycho evangelicals. Any rational candidate is shouted down by idiots.
And I don't know why moderates are so hated on /r9k/ now, this isn't fucking /pol/. Go talk about how the Jews are evil on some other board faggots

This is what's wrong with politics. It's also why Trump is so great. Imagine if it were Hillary and Jeb. As if there's any serious policy difference between the two outside of a few social issues, and guns. Same with Obama vs Romney.

>haha look at me guys I'm above it all because I'm so smart and both sides suck lol
Its easier to justify your actions when you can blame everything on the other side
politics have always been polarized
Just look at the fucking civil war
It was literally a war that happened due to severely polarized political views
>>29084182
>haha if you don't agree with every word of the most radical group on either side of the political axis you're stupid
>>29083365
Moderate is a fucking meme. Nobody is a moderate.
>>29084192
No way Sherlock. A civil war results from political polarization????? Ya think?
>>29084204
Moderates are political hipsters, can't wait till we put you smug pussy faggots in the camps.
>>29083365
Liberals and conservatives are both beta cuckold losers. I'm a moderate, classical liberal (i.e. libertarian). It's the only logical position for rational and intelligent individuals to hold.
>>29084192
The civil war was so polarized because many states relied on slave plantations for their economies. It was an issue that could have literally divided the country into two countries. There are no issues like that today.
>>29084204
That's literally every war in the history of mankind you retard.
>>29084255
>tips fedora
Literally a meme tier ideology like anarchism
>>29083365
The more extreme the militant wings get, the more polarizing it is just to exist as a moderate. You very quickly realize you share very little common ground with either side.
>>29084312
>libcucks literally think in memes
makes sense, how else could you like bernie?
>>29084255
>It's the only logical position for rational and intelligent individuals to hold.
If only we could all be so euphoric
>>29084254
Fascism was literally 'both sides are wrong: the movement'.
>>29084255
>It's the only logical position for rational and intelligent individuals to hold.
Libertarians believe in open borders. Already a bad philosophy.
>>29084336
I'm a Trump supporter desu. Ideally Based Pinchet would institute an authoritarian, nationalist, economic and socially conservative state.
>>29084494
Trump is socially liberal though. He even supports transgender rights.
>tfw when old enough to remember all previous elections
every 8 years the current president can not win, and so there is a massive politics deal that spreads outside of us and whole world because us is center stage and everywhere people are going left/right, then it goes away, most kids here have not been around for a least 32 years, so you really dont know what it is like
