In our current political landscape, we’ve got one group that wants to use public funds on education, infrastructure, housing and healthcare. Then there’s another group that wants to siphon all taxpayer dollars to a group of men who divert themselves by abducting children so they can rape them on a private island.

Moderates are individuals who look at those two extremes, sigh to themselves, and say, “Gee, there’s merit on both sides, I’m not sure where I stand.”

To make matters worse, the Democratic party insists that we MUST focus all our appeals on the group that can’t determine whether they should support cruel elites that run global child torture networks, or people who want to give free lunches to kids.

“Well,” say the moderates, “I get what you’re saying, but socialism…”

At some point the entire population of the United States needs to get hit in the face with a bucket of ice water. We have to stop allowing nefarious forces to reframe our situation so that we’re constantly stuck spinning our wheels and appealing to people who can’t choose between a chocolate sundae and a s**t sandwich.

“Well… they have a similar texture, I can’t decide.”

The idea that “moderate” is somehow a noble position to take is absolutely absurd, particularly when you’re faced with extremes that vary between compassion and indisputable crimes against humanity.

Out of context, yes, it does sound reasonable to pick a viewpoint that lies between extremes. But before you submit to that model and insist on applying it to all situations, you really need to sit down and name the extremes.

Child torture versus basic humanity should not be a difficult choice. Anyone who is having a hard time making that choice does not have a viewpoint we must feel compelled to acknowledge.

“I try to see all sides of every issue,” says the moderate.

No they don’t. Instead, they refuse to recognize the extent of the horrors before them.

The problem is that, at least in our current political reality, moderates are operating on wishful thinking rather than facts.

“Well, they can’t possibly be that extreme. What’s your evidence? The fact is that what you’re saying represents a horrific reality beyond anything I want to recognize, therefore I’ll pretend it doesn’t exist. You’re making me feel uncomfortable. That’s inappropriate. It’s all about me. I’m going to vote for your opposition. They don’t make me feel bad.”

Maybe they don’t make you feel bad now, but wait until they abduct, rape, murder and consume your children.

The prevalence of assumption combined with the toxic river of our cultural identity is the source of all our problems. Add the deliberate, malicious influence of AI assisted propaganda, and you end up with the implementation of project 2025.

Moderates, “Oh, he said he doesn’t believe in that and I totally believe him. Has he ever lied to us?”

Meanwhile the DNC starts rubbing their hands together and chanting, “There, there little moderates. We love you. We’ll never do anything to counter the hostile brainwashing of the right that has become your end of times comfort food. Please vote for us.”

It’s honestly impossible at this point to depict the dystopian reality we’re living through at its current level of absurdity. As long as people are distracted by streaming services and scrolling social media, they’ll allow the whole house to burn down around them.

We’re living in the era of “Kill the messenger.” Unfortunately that doesn’t make the problem go away.

Things are not going to get better until we knock the cell phones out of people’s hands, grab them by the temples, and force them to engage with the atrocities happening all around.

“Give me back my digital device. I was in a miraculous candy land. I don’t like this burning world.”

“No! You have to help me put out the fires.”

The time has come to recognize that moderates are not our friends. We have to stop insisting on the default assumption that they occupy a point of reason between unacceptable extremes. The Overton window has shifted. Moderates have to be forced to stop being so fixated on their model and recognize what they’re passively enabling.

If the spectrum goes from no murders to three murders and then finishes at ten murders, three murders is not the reasonable position just because it happens to be in the middle. Break the conditioning. The middle is not the middle. The middle has become the extreme!

One of the most effective tactics of white supremacists is that they sanitize their crimes against humanity through appeals to reasonable sounding ideas. “Well, I’m a moderate. I like to see things from all sides.”

“What’s your position on diversity?”

“I hate it.”

“So, you’re not so moderate after all now are you?”

But white supremacists get away with their incessant abuse grooming because we’ve been culturally conditioned not to call them out on their contradictions.

This individual brainwashing is what we have to shake off if we’re going to succeed. We can no longer default to assume the middle is always the most reasonable course in all cases. Instead, we have to make the psychological shift to evaluate every point on the graph.

It requires critical thinking, which is yet another skill that has been impeded by brain capture through oligarch scrolling. Yes, it feels like a daunting task, but until we become masters of our reality we will remain abused servants and enablers.

Don’t even allow people to use the word “moderate.” Make them take the extra step. Make them declare what they stand for. Anyone who can’t declare they are opposed to the rape and torture of innocent children is not somebody who is worthy of your time.

In fact, they are deserving of your staunch opposition. Moderates aren’t innocent, they are often the puppet masters of the the very forces that are marshalling to destroy us. Stop appealing to the driftless center that has no other purpose than to escape accountability.

Your true enemy is not the assassin that shows up at your home. The assassin is the shadowy figure that paid, trained, and sent the killer to your door. The middle is our real enemy, precisely because they attempt to claim they don’t really have a side.

They’re lying.
