What does radical centrism say on the subject of
>more extreme = faster progress
?

The idea that having a pendulum swing between left/right, with each being pushed by their extremism to achieve some goals until they push too far, piss off enough people and inevitably cause their own counter-movements, being the faster way of achieving the more widely accepted demands as oppose to seeking consensus among the majority of parties directly.
>>
>>137490877
I've became center/center-right after realizing that too many position on the Trump and Sanders side were too much feels based rather than actual facts. I still kinda like Ted Cruz despite some of his positions being fucking horrible. SJWs are a problem but are really overexagerated by people on this board, hence why you always see the same half dozen SJWs being posted here. To me market is a means to an end, not the end itself, so capitalism must be preserved but not idolized. Immigration is a net gain to the country if done in a moderate and controlled way. Minimum wage must be abolished. Populism is cancer. Inequality isn't bad as long as we curb poverty. Protectionism is almost ways bad.

War hero does not equal proficient leader of the free world. I was paying my dues to the military during those years, I saw what an embarrassing debacle the Iraq war was, and I was not keen on more of that. Granted Obama did a masterstroke of talking the talk, but not walking the walk, but at least he had the decency to put up the smoke and mirrors like Trump did.

And Romney was more of a protest vote than anything. I knew that Mormon fuck had no chance, but Obama sold out so hard that he needed way more clap backs then he got.

>>137494840
>before calling SJWs a serious problem?
That may be a problem to answer as I don't know what you would call an SJW. Gamergate stuff, for an example, are pretty much a non-problem to me.

>What should, in your opinion, be idolized?
Nothing, thats the thing.

>Is this not accomplished by requiring said immigrants to provide value to society?
You don't even need to "require" it. They boost the productivity, GDP, new jobs, new consumers, reduces costs, and unlike people on this board believe, people don't want to live their entire lives on a shitty welfare check. People do want work, and create households, wealth, etc.

>How would you deal with full-time wages being lower than living costs?
There would be a UBI/Negative Income Tax, but pragmatically I don't push for that in the current climate, and neither of these are necesarily a critical change to me. High minimum wages federally are retarded on diverse countries like the US also, fighting that is more import to me than straight abolishing it.

>>137494840
>Do you not see this is a contradiction?
Not really. The real populism doesn't come from the people against poverty, but rather the inequality based folks, like Bernie Sanders, that ran half of his entire campaign on this talkpoint, and people loved it.

>when do you consider it good/ useful?
Adam smith recognized national security concerns as a reason for some protectionism, but even then its kinda limited. Example are things like Energy, Oil, etc.

It's not unreasonable to assume someone who is capable of surviving a war and actually distinguishing himself within it would be a good leader

unfortunately they also give the "war hero" treatment to self-sacrificing naive people and brave idiots which make for terrible leaders

I'm not offering a counter, merely inquiring as to why you consider it a good choice to broaden perspective, you may have a valid point, if you make it

The fact that he was captured and tortured and later released played well in my head. I didn't realize he was an Admiral's son and that he received favorable treatment when he was enlisted, nor that he sung like a snitch, nor that he was likely responsible for the lives of over 100 sailors when he wet start a jet on an aircraft carrier. Hindsight is 20/20, but I still think he would have done a better job than that Communist, tranny-loving, faggot, Obama.

No, thats bullshit. I probably side with the Gamergater folks, but that description may be one of the things this board overreacts and that you ended up believing.

>morals? decency? freedom? not specific ways of attaining/ keeping them but merely the ideals themselves?
Thats more of a social contract thing. Thats kind of what Libertarian do with the NAP, but much more reaching, involving taxes, crime laws, etc. By idolizing I meant not going to extremes in like Ancaps do with capitalism. Capitalism, freedom, etc, are good, but I wouldnt support child prostitution markets per example.

>help those with low self-motivation?
Well, there's nothing wrong in not working, you just have to live with a shitty government check to live your life. Radical Centrism is generally in favour of a reduced welfare state, or even abolishing it in favour of a NIT/UBI we talked about before. Macron, per example, is one of them in regards to shrinking the welfare state. Economists generally believe that should be done aswell.

>Should immigrants be given UBI?
Sure. High skilled workers will rarely depend on welfare anyway, and the lower skilled ones will be new consumers in this economy just as well as everyone. The main anti-immigration memes from the last times came from the Refugee Crisis, people on here need to understand that this is an extraordinary event, and even in Germany, per example, the economy is operating an a surplus despite all their refugees. Lauren Southern and etc, like to name some economists that are immigration "skeptics" but ignore that even they are saying that immigration is a net gain for the economy.

>populism
Populism for me is pretty much empty promises that fall on desperate ears. Ex: Trump telling that he is going to bring back manufacturing jobs from China to USA, when in reality even China itself is losing those jobs to manufacturing. (continuing in next post)

Honestly, I had zero issues with him being black or looking effeminate, that is why I opted out of voting when McCain ran. The Republican party found a way to run a more weaker candidate than the Democrat party. It was unbelievable! To be honest, America is blood-thirsty, and I love it. We're an empire, and we have a lot of interests world-wide, so we must rule with a sword, and be ready to use it often, and as violently as possible. His dronings didn't really bother me so much as his transgender bathrool policies and his racist stance with supporting Black Lives Matters. In addition to racking up the debt higher than any other previous president, negligible growth (what can be expected, he wasn't smart), low home ownership rates, high poverty rates, high unemployment numbers, high food stamp rates, and just being a general demagogue and virtue-signally faggot. Also, finding out that Michelle is a transvestite and that he consumed crack cocaine and received fellatio from men was an eye-opener.

Another example is Le Pen telling coal miners that their jobs would be back, while Macron straight up told them to their faces that their jobs unfortunately would never be back, and got booed.

For the current climate, no not really. It is very common in times of war, maybe when it occurs that may be justifiable.

great in principal
Are we assuming the basic minimum is so "cheap" to provide that we can do so for everyone with no real cost to society? If that basic minimum is tower blocks with small rooms and rice 3 meals a day with vitamin supplements, maybe

There were one or two women that traded good reviews for their games in exchange for sex. It is shitty but nothing "major" about that. There is nothing wrong with gamergame, just /pol/ blowing things out of proportion. Not even /v/ cared this much after the initial exposure.

Economic and social freedom, equality of opportunity (not outcome unlike SJWs want), almost absolute freedom of speech, freedom of movement of business and individuals.

>which directions of society trump the hierarchy, in your opinion?
what do you mean by that

>so for everyone with no real cost to society?
Nothing like the soviets, we already do it a some success in the west, and with future restrictions on welfare, being productive and working will still be a goal to most of the population.

>unsafe and self-perpetuating downwards spiral
And welfare isnt, in most cases, cyclical: example: a third of Americans are getting some sort of welfare assistance, but for 34% of those individuals they will receive benefits for less than 12 months. These people find themselves in some kind of shock, a sickness or a loss of a job, and straighten themselves out pretty quickly with the help that welfare can provide. Only 19% who go on welfare actually dependent, in that they get on welfare and stay on it for more than five years.

>And if the consumption choices of low-skilled (low-educated) leads to these people reducing the average quality of society
What do you mean, any examples

>it seems to be leading to war at the moment
Well, not necessarily. War with North Korea, just like with middle eastern shitholes, would hardly require any method of protectionism. Society tend to believe that a "great war" is always around the corner anyway. Specially people here on /pol/.

Centrism is a falacy in political thought that all ideologies fall between two polar extreme opposites. This is exacerbated in the United States because of the two party system which creates a dichotomy of thought preventing alternative philosophy from being explored. Radical Centrism means literately nothing as it's only philosophy is to appease the ire of percieved danger. It would be better to say that you are non-combatants in the ideological war that the communists and the fascists seem bent on having. There are no notable radical centrist...since centrism is not a thing. Centrist is litteraly the slime of philosophy.
Radical centrists do not exist since centrism is not a thing. Also claiming dead successful leaders as centrist to bolster you cause of appeasment is particularly sleasy...

to be more precise, the current US speech laws are pretty much the model that I support. They look like their are open to a lot of extremes, but in reality it isn't really a problem in practice. There are groups that try to use it a "evil" way, like the Westboro nigs, but it is mostly a non-issue.

>that's quite a globalist approach
It is

>seems risky
Not really that much, it wont be necessarily a "muh open borders" thing, I talked about welfare as well before, same thing about Germany, as an example

>which should have prioritized?
Well thats the thing about centrism, things are complex and there isnt a "hierarchy" of principles to solve things. All on a case by case basis, that manage to reach the maximum possible number of people, with the minimum possible side effects.

>only difference I'm hearing
>naive optimism than rational extrapolation of human behavior
How? Western nations have already a pretty decent welfare distribuction and that doesn't impact the population need for a job outside of those cases you see in the news like the "random woman with 20 kids doesnt work and gets $1000 a month from the government". There is nothing pointing out to a Soviet style problem of parasitism.

>reducing that number to 0
We shouldn't. There will be ALWAYS some people on disability benefits, unemployment benefits, social security, etc. Its just like unemployment, it will never go down to literally zero unless you are forcing the people to work, like in the USSR. Structural unemployment guarantees that we will always have a non-zero number, and thats good for a healthy society. There are guettos, but there are other policies that target those groups instead of this being a "welfare or no welfare" issue.

>examples
That seems to be more of a cultural problems with some communities (like blacks) that have a garbage culture, no family support, etc the vast majority of welfare have time limits on them (out of characters)

>free speech
the issue seems more about retards trying to restrict free speech like against conservatives, and naturally BLM. A free speech society will naturally always have retards complaining about "too much free speech".

>what happened to protecting national interest?
>entire industries leave certain countries?
Is in the national interest for the national economy to specialize and leave others areas for other nations, like we have right now, US building planes, UK building ships, Thailand building shoes, China making t-shirts and cellphones. That way the economy has a bigger productivity and boost on its industry and is more apt do deal in the globalized economy, which since WW2 is an actual thing doesnt matter if economic nationalists accept it or not. Protectionism never helps an industry to develop also, its just a subsidy to form a bubble that will burst the moment those subsidies end. South american countries are basically the textbook version of failed decades of protectionism.

>economic migrants are the problem, not refugees
Isnt the center e the right in Europe already planning to return great part of those migrants to their countries as the crisis is ending? Macron also seems to be big on that recently. Germany appears to also be sending people back to Greece.

>slow and inefficient
How? In what? Wait arent we just talking about principles?

>easiest way to stagnate and slow progress by overburdening the system
Example in mind about this slow progress thing?

>using your proposed system
If a moderate welfare system works without people being forced into parasitism how would a slightly reduced welfare system result in a increased problem? Economists agree that with a NIT and the coming of automation this will be a much superior way to conduct welfare.


>on this easy strawman

>yes, those are the ones I was asking about
>Do you have any suggestions?
They involve a more fair way to distribute education for example. In the current way schools have their funding by districts, so wealthier districts have better schools than the poor ones, and poor students are more locked in this cyclical issue. There are solutions involving socio-economic quotas, but on this board it will obviously be too "sjw" to talk about. War on Drugs is another policy that affects the lower classes disproportionally. Welfare itself has been proven to be a policy that mostly breaks cyclical poverty, not perpetuates.

>cultures can only mature on their own, internally, which seems to correlate when their conditions improve
Well, I agree with that.

the business are the ones that favour globalization for cheaper labour, thats literally freedom of business.

>doesn't seem to be working out too well for the working class of.. anywhere
It is. Sweatshops arent bastions of humane conditions but their creation led to a creation of a huge middle class in asian countries (specially China) during the 90s til today.

I wasnt talking about the incapable. It is still impossible for a society to function as that, with some magical 0 welfare recipients able to work, unless you cut every single welfare policy for them.

Adam Smith, one of the great moral philosophers and political economists of the Scottish Enlightenment era, offers some practical advice in his book, the "Theory of Moral Sentiments."

Moderation in our social interactions, Smith explains, enables us to relate to and understand one another. A commitment to moderation, even and especially when the distance between our positions is quite large, is the best strategy for not only coexisting with others but also ensuring that others hear our positions and sympathize with them.

Moderation does not necessarily mean adopting moderate policy positions. Smith is not suggesting we compromise our political views and values. Instead, he is suggesting that we think about how we present these views and values to others and how we characterize those who disagree with us. It's a reminder to think of our political opponents as human beings, seek connection and embrace comity.

In order to get sympathy or commiseration from others we moderate our expression of our feelings and actions so that others can better understand and approve of our actions. If we fail to garner sympathy, we can learn from this experience and adapt accordingly.

Our social interactions, if they are to be pleasant and productive, must involve this process of moderation and adjustment. If political discourse is viewed as a battle of ideas, political life will be about winning ideological wars and not about addressing our common concerns. If we are unwilling to put in the work of garnering or giving sympathy, we will not discover strategies for better relating to one another, and avoiding polarization.

The way out of our current political climate is not to seek total victory against the opposing party. Instead, it is to seek recognition and understanding, and to cultivate sympathy for one another. In order to do this, we must be willing to follow Smith's advice to moderate, not our views or political positions, but our political expressions.

Has the issue of political propaganda gotten uncontrollable because of the Internet, and is it even possible to control without heavily regulating content?

From both sides, we see what appears to be staggering amounts of conspiracies, fake news, etc. Things that were once widely accepted, like vaccine safety, are being discredited via bunk infographs that soccer moms share on Facebook, to the detriment of our societies. (I use vaccines as an example, you can go from anything as simple as that to Alex Jones-tier child sex colonies on the moon).

The ideal would be that conspiracy theories would be exposed to the light of critical group thinking. But we see the opposite; peopl get hunkered down in echo chambers, and critical thinking flies out the window to be replaced by emotions.

Is this something that we can overcome, or is it too ingrained in our genetics to be susceptible to false info? How do we fix it?

None of those are proper examples of oxymorons outside the figurative usage of the word.

Crony Capitalism is a proper example of an oxymoron. It's a definable contradictory impossibility, rather than just grammatical improbability. It's just a buzzword for corporate socialism.

Radical Centrist would imply "left-leaning". Globalism is left-leaning. That's why a religion person that strays from the group and acts alone is referred to as radical. However, radical Islam is almost an oxymoron itself because Quran enables it.

On paper seems to be working great with the increasing number of violent protests, huh?

Most people never vote. Not a valid point.

Work is work seems to be moving away from equal opportunity. Some people prefer certain fields. If those are the fields available they have an advantage.

Personal economic freedom increases with choices. Business freedom reduces local choices.

Immigration with checks is good. Totally agree.

The argument was whether it's better to decide on each person individually or have a system that automatically culls certain types of individuals (back to any immigrant vs useful immigrant, we seem to agree though so no argument)

My very acute point is that the economists who all agree and have data to back it up are not relevant here. They say that welfare helps people escape poverty. This relies on the assumption that said people are trying to escape. If NEET is normal then there will be less people trying and the theory is no longer applicable.

Policy must strive to actually have impact. Reality is worked around when it does not fit the ideal rather than accepted. That is how things improve because the new normal can only be set by that which policy strives for. If policy accepts the current situation then the situation will not change.

You say that poor districts have bad school and I'm saying the schools are bad not /only/ because they are poorly equipped but also because the parents are not properly motivating their children.

Back to welfare statistic showing that people are willing. This is only true in a society where there are many external factors which /force/ people to "be willing" such as social stigma. This will be much less true with UBI. I'm totally there with you on the starving bit, good riddance.

Those that are more serious offenders must be punished more harshly. This is supposed to set an example. It may be failing but it's fair.

Your graphs say that Africa has more starving now. See 2nd "Numbers"

>people prefer certain fields. If those are the fields available they have an advantage.
I hope they find their job, but public policy isn't about individual individuals working on coal or steel, is about the best effecient way to get resources.

>Business freedom reduces local choices.
You are increasing the choices somewhere else and helping in the productivity and specialization of your own country, as well as another country. We are not talking about IT, or services, or art, we are talking about raw industry.

>better to decide on each person individually or have a system that automatically culls certain types of individuals
You mean about immigration? I didnt even know all those posts on this subject were about it. If so, sure, I agree.

>If NEET is normal then there will be less people trying
Why do you think this is true? Gut feeling? People dont refuse to get welfare and not to work just because it isnt acceptable. Welfare isnt some public stuff that you can easily check on personal accounts. And to be frank, welfare and NEETS is pretty much already acceptable.

>If policy accepts the current situation then the situation will not change.
I'm just being realist/pessimist on this issue. Crime wont go down to zero. Healthy welfare recipients wont go down to zero either.

But the schools being bad isnt about students attending it. It is ENTIRELLY based on taxation on its own districts.

>This is only true in a society where there are many external factors which /force/ people to "be willing" such as social stigma
UBI isnt a "upgrade" from welfare for them. It will hardly be a decent living on its own. People wont lower their standards just because it became acceptable.

>Those that are more serious offenders must be punished more harshly
No. Men, for example, receive much longer sentences on average than women do for the same offence. You wouldnt disagree with that? Thats the same thing with lower classes and blacks. Same crime, different sentencing.

Practices relevant now must be implemented asap. It's easier to have people accept them as ideologies.

If what is on paper is not working more must be done to ensure the results translate to real life

It's not valid because "live with what you've got" is not an efficient way of progressing

The most efficient way to get resources does not align with the ideal of personal economic freedom which bring me right back to the original question:
Which ideology do you prioritise for society? >Check back near the start of the when you gave a list for things you believe should be idolised, I'm still curious.

This is getting back to the whole globalism thing. Are you in favor of turning the entire globe into one mega-Federation of states?

We can broaden the topic, seeing as immigration is dealt with. Having a system as opposed to deciding case-by-case is the reason currency exists, for example. How is "one-size-fits-all" (as you so dutifully reduced the position to) not the more efficient option?

I see it as the logical extrapolation of human behavior. If the UBI is high enough to provide for all the basic needs of your typical good-for-nothing-leech-on-society (internet + junk food) then more people will choose to do so because the human brain is easily drawn into a viscous cycle of instant-gratification which is made all the more potent by companies that currently specialise in making junk food tasty and time-wasting apps entertaining. Being NEET is only currently acceptable to other NEETs, same as ghettos accept niggers. Not valid.

Obviously there will always be crime, that's what the police are for. Equally there must always be attempts to reduce crime. It's never okay to say "this is fine, it's how it is"

Except the issue isn't that the school is bad, regardless of taxation. The issue is the students are not willing to learn.

People's minimum standards and what society can provide for free are practically identical (see internet+junk food money)

>>137538644
Although I am very much not in favor of the situation with men and women on an emotional level and although we could get into how the entire US prison system is terrible because it prioritises punishment over rehabilitation the point stands.

More men rape so all men must be made strongly aware that rape will lead to bad times.
Additionally men are more likely to be repeat offenders than women after being released.
There are psychological explanations for this which I will dutifully write out if you desire but it still stands.
Those that, as a group, cause more damage must, individually be punished more.
I wouldn't even say it's the right kind of fair but I would like to hear you proposal on fixing that kind of disparity.
Clearly the sentencing for rape is adequate so then should female rapists be given harsher punishments?

Back to blacks and drugs. If you reduce the punishment on poor-area folk they will be back sooner and continue to perpetuate that system.
Here it is even more valid because the neighborhood, unlike with rapists, has a drug scene and as such the removal of offenders in a harsh manner will impact the community on a personal level.
In richer communities where this is less prevalent there will be a lessor effect and thus the punishment becomes disproportionate to the goals sought (to fix the community, not the individual).

I could entertain the notion that the community can only be fixed properly by making the individuals better but we're back to rehabilitation vs punishment again.

no. I'm still fairly patriotic and I dont wish to be integrated closer to some socitieties in africa, middle east, russia and asia for example. That doesnt mean economically i'm not in favor of a more integrated world. Its not a problem trading with Saudis, it is a problem with them having a official invested voice on policy in my country.

>"one-size-fits-all" not the more efficient option?
It is more effective, I was talking about elasticity before when talking about how some policies are made, not based on a single value but rather as a "sweet spot" between freedom, security, and economic values, that sweet spot decided on an issue by issue basis.

As for UBI you may be overestimating its pay and underestimating the human dignity,

What is your case study for strict and punitive drug enforcement reducing drug use?
>>
>>137541177
I think drugs should be legalised, controlled and taxed. /all/ of them

Yeh we'll have a couple of generations where everyone goes insane but after that it's fairly reasonable to assume people will get bored

To be perfectly honest the idea that sending petty drug dealers to prison will in some way shape or form curb drug use is ludicrous as the dealers are merely desperate poor people getting money in the easiest way possible

This is similar to how life gets better for prostitutes the more government regulation there is in the industry

If drug dealers had unions there would be minimal fuss of street violence around drugs.

Is it possible that there will be more violent crime related to people under the influence of drugs? sure but then it is definitely correct to have very harsh punishment for those who harm others through poor management of substances (if a drunk hurts someone they should equally be held liable)

Eventually people will learn. Also self defense course and non-lethal weapons should be provided freely by the state with harsh penalties for abuse

It is, having proper staff, equipment, teachers, etc, is a great advantage wealthier kids have over poor kids. And frankly, I'm not too invested in this issue to care about nigger culture and their culture of not valuing education, the kids that dont care about it dont have me overly concerned. The problem is the kids that do value it, but are locked in shitty schools in shitty destricts.

well thats isnt living standards, people wont live with that shit on strictly welfare

>More men rape so all men must be made strongly aware that rape will lead to bad times.
Well, thats a faulty premise at its birth. You dont see women raping more because they receive lesser sentencing and you dont see men raping less because they are punished more. It takes one second to see that it isn't working. Same thing with blacks and drugs example. Its is circular logic. There are no results being shown.

>The part where it says "Changes in number of undernourished"
Sure but the "charities" are strongly targeting Sub-Saharan Africa, that had its numbers decreased since the 90s. Thats not even talking about other stats like GDP growth that since then skyrocketed (in some) with some actual financial aid.

Once you hand over the entire industry to a nation that nation will have power over you. That is where your specialisation leads.

Not long ago efficiency of resource gathering in raw industry was top of your list and now we're talking of sweet spots between freedom, economy and security. Sounds very wishy-washy to me (like you have no idea what you're on about)

I think you're underestimating how close we are to being able to provide something your average human will be perfectly content with wallowing in while they lament over how unfair it is that some people (those that work) get better stuff and the next minute returning to their gaming and energy drinks. It's not that expensive anymore, Anon and people are very eager to wallow while being drip-fed addiction satisfiers (see: bread & circus)

>>137542704
The available resources are not adequate to attain a proper education in poor areas of the nation. Sounds like the exact problem Common Core was developed for. I'm not sure that's working too well either. Thoughts?

Again, I honestly believe "strictly welfare" is steadily improving to the point where that is not an unreasonable expectation.

Your circular logic argument does not say anything about whether punishing less will increase or decrease the number of rapes / drugs. Where is your point on the issue of less crime?
Is it not fairly logical that if you reduce punishments then crime will increase because it will be seen as less risky/ more worth it?

That's kind of my point Anon. Charities (ie free handouts aka welfare) don't do squat while targeted investment by outsiders to improve infrastructure and build the foundations can lead to economic growth and thus indirectly improved conditions all-round

>Once you hand over the entire industry to a nation that nation will have power over you. That is where your specialisation leads.
No. Industries dont disappear and leave nothing on its place. 1st world countries are still growing, but on other specialized fields, like the arms, technology, etc while china gets for example smartphones and air conditioners. China is also trading its industries with the southeast asian coutries for a more dedicated and efficent comparative advantage.

>resource gathering in raw industry
> freedom, economy and security
what do these topics have to do with eachother? we arent talking about industries and domestic policy making in the same argument.

>returning to their gaming and energy drinks
>that expensive anymore
I'm curious, how much do you think the average welfare recipent gets?

>Common Core
>I'm not sure that's working too well either
What do you think that is?
This board has a really retarded view of Common Core.

>Again, I honestly believe
meh
>is steadily improving
It isn't really

>does not say anything about whether punishing less will increase or decrease the number of rapes / drugs
Your whole logic is based that more sentencing reduces crime, isnt it? How is that? Thats literally social justice. You are punishing an individual more over the actions of his whole group. Thats literally SJW logic, but favoring the wealthy instead.

>targeted investment by outsiders
This target investment is literally welfare by the western governments. Even when lending money, the African governments never pay it and get pardoned all the time.

Proof is in the pudding,Le super intellectual Centrists have refused to address the concerns of both sides and have given rise to increasingly militaristic fanatics. So now the west is almost in a state of civil war, But it's not the Centrists fault. NO no no, its never the fault of the "joe blow centrist" that doesn't want to have difficult conversations or listen to the grievances of -->BOTH<-- sides

centrism isn't a single dot on the spectrum that has 0 traits of either side you fucking tard.
and actually it's both extreme sides dehumanizing the other side that's caused this rage.
they say everybody else is commie/fascist and then disregard everything they have to say while simultaneously threatening with violence. this causes opposite sides to bunker down and lash out.

The silent majority refuses to care or acknowledge the on going social issue that both sides take grievance with. Centrists & silent majority have irresponsibility given up the "social responsibility" of moderating society in favor of letting impartial government and institutions run society. The problems we are facing RIGHT NOW are directly the cause of "Joe blow" not caring about civil liberties or listening to BOTH Left/right issues."Joe blow" has literally pushed the auto-pilot(government) on society.

Civil war is very likely to happen because "Joe blow" doesn't want to have difficult conversations."Joe blow" is the doctor that tells you that ever growing lump on your neck isn't something to be worried about,also you are a nob-jockey

ECONOMIC POLICY:

>End the Federal Reserve system immediately.
>Raise the minimum wage for full-time work and tie it to inflation.
>Call for universal healthcare and end the tyranny of private insurance companies.
>Provide a generous welfare system for the poor, covering basic necessities.
>Implement a simple, flat income tax for all wealth brackets.
>Cut government departments and organizations massively if they do not directly benefit Americans.
>Implement protectionist trade policies that are pro-American. No more NAFTA/TPP-style regulations.

DOMESTIC POLICY:

>End affirmative action.
>Private businesses can discriminate for any reason they want (don't have to bake the cake).
>Strongly protect gun rights and the 2nd Amendment.
>Decriminalize drug usage and end the War on Drugs.
>Stop NSA Spying/mass surveilance policies like the Patriot Act and NDAA.
>Pardon and honor Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and other whistleblowers.
>Keep net neutrality and protect the freedom of the Internet.

SOCIAL POLICY:

>Keep abortion legal, but make contraceptives like birth control more accessible to lower the number of abortions.
>Let LGBT people marry, or at least get the government out of it. Churches can be allowed to deny a gay couple from marriage if they wish.
>Remove the death penalty. Too many innocent executed.
>Repeal hate speech laws and call for a revitalization of free speech.
>Businesses shouldn't be required to "diversify" employees or make quotas.
>3rd wave feminism/SJW-ism is toxic to society.

FOREIGN POLICY:

>Bring troops home from across the world.
>Massively lower the need for military spending.
>End all aggressive wars and defend our borders.
>Cut all foreign aid, including to Israel.

They will need to argue for some side, I can't think of any game where there isn't a loser or a winner. Sure one can find outcomes which may be better for both sides regarding the alternatives but their can't be a perfect centre in human conflicts. Imo, rather take it to the extreme and apply pure social Darwinism, lets have zero sum games, it is more honest regarding human nature

Evolutionary game theory is crap; most of the time it implies that one party will forget former outcomes and settle for less than they actually could have, if they just stood their ground in an earlier game, forcing the other side to submit.

>equal "arguer"
jews, not pulling the sides to the centre but to the (((centre))) bringing equal bad outcomes to the parties involved. Yes there might be a better arguer on one side, still the parties will not even come near their expected outcomes, destabilizing both sides and making their followers more open for extremism and desintegration

depends on how one side can control information and the spreading of information after the set back. It could effectively be better for a party with lesser resources to have the system collapse especially if they have good archivers like christian priests after the fall of rome
