"I'm a moderate/libertarian/left-leaning centrist", only worse, since at least those phrases imply some kind of ownership of your (purposely uncontroversial-sounding) views, whereas this one is just trying to put the blame on someone else.

You should stop listing to the Main stream Media and listen to Fox News :)
Fox News doesn't have an agenda, they are always looking out for you. Hannity has been very consistent. He was FOR the Patriot act/ wire tapping Americans during the Bush years and AGAINST Wire tapping during the Obama years!

1) The media is biased
2) Given that few people describe themselves as a left-leaning centrist, it's a silly attempt at a dig at me. 3) Libertarians have highly controversial ideas. Half of my controversial ideas are libertarian in nature, such as the right for businesses to discriminate on ANY grounds because some other business will start to service those neglected markets (and literally the ONLY time that doesn't happen is when the government intervenes, as with Jim Crow)

How can a person be libertarian and left wing centrist at the same time?
I thought libertarians were Fiscal Conservative Social Liberal (FCSL) ?

The media has a left wing/government mouthpiece p.o.v. Period. I can't think of the last time I saw actual journalism or investigative reporting from the msm. Its either regurgitation of the government line when a Democrat is in office or has a left spin when a Republican is in office.
Hello filth, I didn't see you standing there

I can't think of the last time I saw actual journalism or investigative reporting from the msm. It's literally happening all the time but okay. You realize the news doesn't just come out of thin air, right? It may seem like it, with how accessible it is now with 24/7 networks and the internet, but there was some journalist or reporter involved in that news hitting. |

Is it a sin to want the MSM to be REAL journalists?

Keep hating moderates just as much as you hate conservatives, that'll solve all the problems in the world.
It's okay, I have no idea who I am either.

I don't hate actual moderates, but I'm convinced very few of them exist. Most "moderates" I see are people who are just too afraid of the stigma of identifying as liberal or conservative
|
|
I also dislike the notion that it's better to cater to people who are wrong than to actually support your stance on a subject.

Most "moderates" I see are people who are just too afraid of the stigma of identifying as liberal or conservative An argument can also be made that most "liberals" and "conservatives" are just idiots who can't think for themselves, so they merely parrot back things they've heard shouted by other, louder voices who have far more conviction.

Most "moderates" I see are people who are just too afraid of the stigma of identifying as liberal or conservative Id honestly argue the opposite. Most people are moderate, they just like being on a 'team' so they have a platform to shit on others from.

1) The media is biased Literally everyone is biased and everyone has an agenda. If anyone thinks they are unbiased, they are simply biased and ignorant of that bias.

Zeus posted... Literally where the compass polls put me. On the left-right spectrum, I'm slightly left of the middle. Authoritarian-libertarian, moderately libertarian (halfway down). RFC22 posted... How can a person be libertarian and left wing centrist at the same time? Political compass. And most "socially liberal" libertarians don't actually embody libertarian ideas, since they support laws regulating a business's choice of service instead of free trade. DorkLink posted... I don't hate actual moderates, but I'm convinced very few of them exist. Most "moderates" I see are people who are just too afraid of the stigma of identifying as liberal or conservative Given that the vast majority of the population doesn't have a strong, well-informed opinion on any given subject, they're moderate by nature. The more uninformed ones with strong opinions tend to tout the extremes of either side.
