Even evil has standards

Wow, check it out! Former "center-left" cyclist turned warmongering fascist Charles Johnson has turned again. Colour me skeptical (like someone pointed out on fengi's LJ, it'll take one more terrorist attack to turn him back, but it's almost heartening to read.

I wonder if he'll apologize for his blog being a gathering place for genocidal maniacs for the last eight years.

If he's serious, though: Welcome back to the reality-based community.

What if one end of the political extreme is "torture is wrong under any circumstances" and the other is "torture is necessary in defense of our national interest"? I would argue that one set of extremists is correct, and the complex people in the middle monstrous.

Yes well remember Martin Luther King himself warned that "moderates" were in fact the greatest enemy of all.

I just like conspiracy theories and blend them freely with psycho-social factors and social psychology.

I'm not at all conservative but I believe in a "conspiracy" of sorts on that level. We aren't "supposed" to look at certain areas and that we in fact put our own "blinders" and limits in place as a society. I like examining "why" we do that and what's beneath it all.

I don't believe in torture and I dont believe in 99% of what conservatives do but I also try to avoid labels like liberal and conservative on purpose because I do think them a "sham" of sorts meant to derail, simplify and distract. I want people to have to get to know me before deciding what I believe and vice versa.
