I’m trying to find moderate and intelligent people to have discussions with without political psychosis and all the arrogant I’m smarter than everyone who disagrees with me bullshit. It seems every community here is hard left who think things like this post are Nazi declarations because I’m not buying their nonsense. Any suggestions?

    “Moderate and rational” is a contradiction when you are in a sinking ship.

    Imagine a real sinking ship. Some people will sprint to the lifeboats and take off before they get overloaded. Others will try to plug the holes to slow the sinking. Neither of those are “moderate,” but they are both rational.

    The only time it is appropriate to be moderate is when there are no crises.
