Hmm. I think it depends on the randomness of the reading. Several ideologues seem to do motivated reading to boost their ideologies. Like people who are unusually well-informed on US Civil War history but know very of any other place or time.

History can make you skeptical of "simple" answers to societal problems but it's ludicrous to at that would make you "moderate". If anything it helps you contextualize existing social problems and opens your imagination to the possibility of a different world.

If you read history and that made you a "moderate", you probably read a bunch of stuff that confirmed your existing beliefs, which happened to be in line with the contemporary status quo, convincing you that anybody who demands change must be misled/ignorant.
