The main point of the article is that moderation does not neccesarily equal neutrality or “middle ground”.
The secondary point is that extremists hate moderates because they equate any variation on their viewpoint as little less than treason. Well done on proving that.
Another way leftists disguise themselves as moderates, twisting the langauge. They think nuance as wisdom. Our country’s history is replete with famous moderates </sarc> A self described moderate is just another way of calling yourself a condescending, aloof, douchebag. Call me an extremist, guilty as charged. At least I stand for something not deliberating between good and evil endlessly and finding the merits in both. Jesus was no moderate.
