why is this so downvoted? its saying extremism is bad no matter which end of the political spectrum you are on, which is true.
There are certain times when opinions are too vile. If someone says gay marriage shouldn't exist, or that drag queens are grooming children, or that transwomen are transitioning just so they can win at sports, that clearly comes from a place of complete misunderstanding so ingrained that I couldn't be around them much.
These are reasonably common positions even among the "moderate" right.
whether something is extreme or not has nothing to do with how popular it is. even if everyone in the world held those views they would still be extremist beliefs. the people who hold those views are not moderate.
I think ppl stand behind labels and forget to think for themselves. I think thats the root issue, and the og post just misses it. I don't like to be around others with that mentality, It makes discussing political issues pretty annoying.
On many issues I stand on the "left" or "right" side. For exaple social questions like LGBT I pertty much on the left, individuals should be able to live as they want. Or environmental issues like global warming, its pretty stupid to deny it. On the other side the green energy is important to me, so I am with the right side (For some stupid reason only right wing parties want to build nuclear plants, and aid the ppl to build solar pannels) Or the infrastructure questions, like more and cheaper trains over cars is conservative push as well (at least here)
I have many friends from different political views, and the most conservative is less racist than some of the liberal ones...
Question like birthrate decline is the most commonly dismissed issue in the left... I dont see why they are against policies that help young couples to start their family. (Even tho I dont plan to start one in the near future)
Some can think that the Abortion is murder and morraly wrong, yet admint that it should be available. Some can think that beeing gay/trans is unnatural, but be happy for their gay friend finally found theirs SO, or respect their new name (we dont have pronounces)
So yeah stop thinking about politic parties and start thinking about the questions/problems. And vote for the party that is closest to your ideal. For you maybe is the party that does not want to get rid of the ppl you care about, for me, cos I am lucky that no party wants to ban ppl, I can choose a bit more.
Also it is possible to contact your representatives and push them to better choices. Its not A or B. If you care, think and do something.
