It seems many ppl are in favour a strong moderate centre to oppose far-right &far-left as long as centre of centre is seen as where they are
This is a different issue, I think. Nothing about a moderate political position implies anything about irrationalism.

'Moderate' is slippery. And going by British political history it often does go with irrational thinking and irrational policy.
-
Then we can criticise irrational thinking and policy rather than moderation.
-
I think its clear the most irrational views come from extremist fringes politically whether white genociders or far-left SocJus
-
A classical or universal liberalism which spans both left &right tends to stay true to enlightenment respect for science & reason
-
Yes. For those that can genuinely maintain it. How many can and do? ;)
-
Again a different point. We shouldn't stop advocating reason & moderation because some ppl who claim it do badly at it.
-
Take this point. Reason and moderation as Descartes. Immoderation as Newton. Science/facts are not 'moderate'.
-
This has nothing to do with anything I have said. You are arguing with yourself so pls untag me from it.
