It's not that people went further right. The left just zoomed out of orbit and anything in between is already far left, that is why there is no compromise. Compromise is a trap.
I loved this article. It's like the author was reading my mind, but his writing skills are better than mine.
Edit: another link to the same article, but with less pop-ups. I think it also reads a little cleaner. To get to this link from the link in the post heading, just click on the author's name at the beginning of the article.
Great Article and I keep telling people this, just not as elegantly, lol....
Too many of my conservative friends keep thinking Liberalism is just a bad political idea and they just want to be "fair"........cant be fair with psychos, they just use that against you.
Also Liberalism is a satanic idea more than a political one....an idea that eats away at your mind, your heart and your soul.
Sounds like we're in the same boat fren. I think this article is written so well though that it might have the potential to make a dent in our friends' and families' minds (hoping anyway). When I forward to them I'll use the "cleaner" link in my first comment instead of the one in the post title. This one:
Now where have I heard this before? The 1970's where this argument was common amongst left wing revolutionaries and other ideologues.
When they weren't issuing searing denunciations of capitalism which didn't change anything at all they held seminars of how and why the liberal is the peoples worst enemy. Liberal meaning moderates in those days..
Now i see it here on GAW, as divisive now as it was then.
I'll take a guess and say this is probably the part that bothers you:
"The political left as a movement has proven to be made up of some of the worst people imaginable"
If so, that could be seen as an over generalization, but I'll argue that it certainly at least includes those type of people.
I contend that if someone doesn't see the important and urgently needed message in the following part of the article then they haven't been paying attention:
" The examples are numerous. Anyone who points out the lack of science behind transsexual ideology and gender fluid theory is immediately a “bigot” and must be cast out. Anyone who questions extreme environmentalism and carbon controls is a “climate denier” and must be cast out. Anyone who questions government paid “medical experts” and their draconian mandates is “anti-science” and must be cast out. Anyone who claims that Critical Race Theory is highly inaccurate and misleading is a “racist” and needs to be cast out. Anyone that thinks teachers should not be allowed to sexualize children in schools and exploit those kids for their own psychological gratification is a “homophobe” that must be cast out. It goes on and on.
I have even seen leftists in the media defend heinous acts such as pedophilia because to be deeply opposed to any character trait of any human being is to commit the greatest sin in the leftist religion – Who are you to question the internal “truth” of an individual and set boundaries for their behavior? You have become intolerant, and therefore you are a heretic.
Make no mistake, this philosophy of “equity” might seem like random madness but it serves a very specific agenda. If all behaviors must be tolerated, then any evil can become acceptable. The only evil action you can then commit is intolerance of evil. See how that works? "

Compromise is how principles become nothing. It's why we don't have a democracy.

Good guess, not true.
