There’s people dying in the streets and entire races confronting the enduring damage of centuries of slavery, rape, pillaging, and systemic physical, economic, psychological, and educational oppression. But let’s play the meta game and talk about nuances of how to be “moderate”https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1268854001812025345 …
That is exactly why it's important for people not to cluster together in opposing tribes. It was factionalism that got us here in the first place, and the increase in factionalism under Trump has only made things worse.

The tribe opposing latent & explicit white supremacy, that fights for justice is an easy tribe to cluster around. Rhetoric of “there are shades of grey” ignores the urgent black & white reality and is much easier said from positions of privilege, which you & I both hold.

It sounds like what you're saying is that it's bad to be an intentional moderate. That is in fact one of the main theses of the essay, which I recommend you read.

We are not just witnessing the formation of a new religion. It is trying in earnest to take over the secular institutions and become state religion. It is totalitarian: either you are part of it, or you are part of the Satanic forces.

insulting the idea of moderation won't make the idea any less invalid.

To be honest Zav, your comment is entirely unwise and harmful.

@paulg. No, it's not 'factionalism' - it's more because we haven't had open and honest discussions about what we really stand for. It's ok to have strong views and to fight for them as people are doing now. Everything in moderation, including moderation. Stand for something.Thanks.
