Moderate right: “Does this group of people actually deserve the same rights as me?”
why is this so downvoted? its saying extremism is bad no matter which end of the political spectrum you are on, which is true.
Ni idea porq tanto negativos
Yeah, I can’t be friends with people who vote for people who don’t want me to exist.
I can’t be friends with people who vote for people who don’t want you to exist
Anyone who utters a phrase like “they’re hurting the wrong people” is not a moderate of any kind.
Wanting a demographic to be hurt is inherently extremist.
Ehhh… depends. I find it extreme to be OK with certain demographics existing. Like Nazis. Nazis shouldn’t exist, because they should be extinct.
Wanting absolutely despicable people to hurt is and should be a natural emotional response to learning of their existence. The real question as to whether it’s OK is, how are despicable people defined and identified?
I meant demographics like POC or LGBTQ, aspects people cannot change about themselves. Being a fascist is a choice.
To be somewhat pedantic, “Nazi” is not a demographic identifier. Demographics almost always refers to more immutable features like age, sex, gender, orientation, race, nationality, citizenship, etc. Political ideology is a way to divide and count people, but it’s not something that is reliably counted as a demographic indicator.
in the US there are no moderates, as one sides wants to eliminate the other.
Guess what, it’s actually incorrect to be friends with a Nazi. Nice shitpost though
If they could reconcile the “immigrants and trans people deserve rights” issue, maybe I’d consider talking with them, but to be friends at this point would be akin to me being buddies with a Nazi that is still bitter immediately after the war.
Politics are definitely something that should ruin relationships if said politics are based off of enforced inequality.

This doesn’t happen anymore. Everyone is extreme in something.
The extreme position that two consenting adults do as they please in bed or that someone is not discriminated against based on their skin colour.
Thats not what I said. I said everyone has an extreme nowadays. For instance, I believe if you want to strip away all social safety nets you should go live and die in the woods away from society. While others might think that person should still be integrated into said society.
Conservatives are shitty to use here because they are just Nazis. Their whole platform is extreme. You can’t find middle ground with that. But everyone still has an extreme belief of their own.
Nah me and one of my best friends are like this
