You make an interesting point.  You can do something with "socialism" and potentially have a rational conversation, but when you go to "Hitler" that's it.  All rationalism and any potential meeting of minds is out of question.

People need to stop thinking in extremes. Reality isn't black and white, so people that see things in black and white are going to struggle to see reality. Extreme polarized thinking is destructive and dangerous, and both sides are waist deep in it.

   It could be argued that @Once-Ler 's Never'ism is extreme at times but your argument that he is a demonrat or a liberal is just a cheap shot

Sorry you feel this way.   :shrug:

Wouldn't this depend on how one defines "extreme"?   :pondering:

I think a number of people are taking a break until after the election.  It gets a bit superheated here.

I am sick of politics. I think I’m even not going to work on Election Day and not vote, and I’ve always voted.  I’m just sick and tired of everything. Were things really better when we were kids?

Yes, because our parents dealt with that stuff and we weren't even aware of it.

Please vote, @Freya.  We need you.

Yes, I think we have some degree of heart-sickness right now.  Bless you, Freya.

Things weren't near as bad or politicized back then.  It's been a state of "progression" (pardon pun) by the left to become the commie-lite azholes that they are now.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

Yup. It’s them who keep moving the stakes.

A lot farther and faster lately, like they’re jacked on crank or something.

Thank you @XenaLee

I just typed in “Halloween cats” into Bing and found one I liked and I thought would look good in the little box.

People on the right: "Anything left of me is socialism."

People on the left: "Anything right of me is Hitler."

This hyperpartisan nonsense is getting us nowhere.


I am a devout, 100% life long Anti Communist.

And That isn't nonsense.
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.
