Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "'If You Are Socialist You're Anti-Semitic' Says Psycho Republican | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
I'm Australian and and on one of our public discussion panels someone quoted Jonathan Haidt who said: "There's this cacophony where the Radical Left and Radical Right just scream at each other and the rest of us trapped in the middle are exhausted." Its from memory so I am not certain if I have the wording exactly right, but its all we see these days. Maniacs form BOTH SIDES screaming names and nonsense at each other. Professor Mark Blyth (Brown U.) said words to the effect that the Murdoch's main product is "rage" and that ahs spawned an entire industry. Look at how agitated and outraged Kyle gets and he's just one of dozens. Politics is now almost a case of where policy is irrelevant and outrage at some public issue is political currency.

@Stroporez Actually I'm also anti-centrist for the most basic fact that the so called "Enlightened Centrists" have so utterly failed. If you want to simply lump people into Left, Right and Centre then you're as ignorant to the reality of humanity as most of the clowns who run this planet. They might be enlightened but when it comes to getting anything done "Enlightened Centrists" are f*cking hopeless, which to your point is why the world is a mess. Just as there are different shades to the Left and Right there's also different shades to what's in between. What I hate about the so called "Enlightened Centrists" is that they all suffer Dunning-Kruger Syndrome just as bad as the Radical Left and Radical Right. The giveaway of their stupidity, ignorance and arrogance is: - they are too stupid to realise that doing nothing but making compromises goes nowhere; - they are too ignorant to know people will accept tough decisions when the goals are explained; - they are too arrogant to accept that there are people on the Left and on the Right with better ideas. I'm what you might call a "Practical Centrist" but then I'm an engineer and practically minded. I'm of the basic opinion that you listen to the Left and Right and pick their brains for the good ideas. You explain to the rest why whatever it is, is a good idea and ask for their input. IMPORTANTLY you don't let them stall or interfere which is the GREATEST failure of so called "Enlightened Centrists" they let BOTH the Left and Right stall and interfere. Its why they end up getting NOTHING DONE.
