"Authors did not start declaring communism dead until just before its actual demise in 1989. Liberalism, by contrast, has been pronounced dead for at least the past 150 years, though it has not yet actually died."https://aeon.co/essays/reports-of-the-demise-of-liberalism-are-greatly-exaggerated …

"According to this analysis, liberalism first died in the late 1870s, then died some more at the turn of the 20th century, and has been dying almost continuously since 1920."https://aeon.co/essays/reports-of-the-demise-of-liberalism-are-greatly-exaggerated …

"When moderates acquiesce to partisans, they signal to the opposition ideological inflexibility and unwillingness to come together. Moderates on either side may agree with one another. But similarities are never discovered and compromises are never made."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"Preference falsification artificially inflates political polarization. If our political preferences have been falsified, then our differences might not be as pronounced or as authentic as we think them to be."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"Less opinionated entrants falsify their preferences to not upset those who decide the rules, rewards, and punishments. Moderates will often support fringe positions for the sake of group solidarity and reputational preservation."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"How do moderates navigate this complex web of political tribes and echo chambers? Simply put, they falsify their preferences. Most moderates conform to group preferences that have been established by committed ideologues."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"We falsify our preferences to maintain or improve our standing within a group. Conformity to group preferences yields approval, affection, and advancement within the group. The punishment for nonconformity is disrespect and ostracism."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"One of the most important concepts for understanding social behavior is preference falsification -- when an individual publicly misrepresents their private views to fit into a social group. It is conformity for the sake of social self-interest."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"Most Americans are not impassioned ideologues, neither coopted by Soros nor swayed by Koch. According to a May 2018 Gallup poll, 43% of Americans considered themselves “Independents” while 26% and 29% considered themselves “Republicans” and “Democrats.”"https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …

"Do most people legitimately disagree with one another? Or are they merely conforming to supposedly dominant ideas? We contend that modern American political tribalism has been artificially inflated by group-based conformity."https://quillette.com/2018/07/02/political-moderates-are-lying/ …
