Why are people this days totally incapable of understanding what moderation means?
There's some truth to this "mind Virus" idea.
Moderation doesn't mean "I would only like half the holocaust" - it means understanding that not every single thing everyone who claims to align with your politics does is "good", and that people who have an different suggestion for how to solve a problem aren't "evil".
Politics has gotten crazy and comments like yours really don't help
It makes sense to concentrate most effort on the first line, and having too many mine fields and obstacles behind, limits the Russian ability to reinforce and maneuver.
So with luck, as Ukraine gets a foot in the door, they also gain leverage.
I guess we all hope they can start to flood through these cracks and cause havoc, but I doubt it will be as dramatic as last year.
Remember that Onion headline "man would die fighting to defend what he imagines the Constitution to be"?
Many modern conservatives are like that. They will bleat all day about laws, and yet have never spent 2 minutes even reading a Wikipedia page about them.
They'll believe whatever pundits tell them to believe.
Not for one minute will any of those law and order loving, institution-protecting, facts not feelings, crowd consider that Trump is there because of real actual crimes he really did commit.
So socialism, if it has any degree of democracy to it, which is kind of essential to socialism, is evil in your eyes.
What version of decision making is acceptable in socialism then?
Just one party rule?
