“Moderate” is, inherently, conservative, in a very basic sense. Moderate politics seek to conserve the political, economic, and social systems as they currently exist. What we call “conservative” is in fact not merely conservative, but reactionary.

I was a strange kid, and spent a lot of time thinking about thinking, how to avoid errors in thinking, etc. This led me to a sort of approach wherein I inundated myself with information that I disagreed with, because I felt it was important to really understand others’ opinions and why they hold them.

Imo it’s important to realize that “being moderate” is distinct from this, as I don’t think you can do this and come out not having an opinion one way or the other.

Kinda reminds me of that thing I saw with a person asking Wendy’s for a frostie if he got x retweets or whatever they call those. “Yeah we’ll pay $5 for a massive marketing campaign and act like we did it out of the kindness of our hearts”

Seriously underestimated the power of “if this post gets 1,000,000 likes my president will buy me free tuition”

It was kinda funny how Obama made that change.org site and said all the ones with 100,000 votes would be addressed
