A star choppers have a top speed of 178 mph . I linked further up . <| sep |> Bateman ' s impotence speech in London . <| sep |> I never said no change , just that it ought to happen gradually . Your wet dreams about eradicating the Blairite vermin are not conducive to a healthy society . So you agree then that slavery was AOK and shouldn ' t have been fought for ? But gradually faded out ? Would you have fought for the The Missouri compromise then ? That Gay people deserved to be chemically castrated and have no rights ? But we should smile to their faces while we do it ? That gay people don ' t deserve to marry , but should only have civil unions ? in Nazi Germany Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews , while the Jews didn ' t want him to kill any of them , was the logical answer to only kill half the Jews ? How about a very modern issue , Climate Change ? Should we not take real climate change action because it will piss off the right ? Appeal to Moderation is one of the most dangerous and lazy positions in politics . An individual operating within the false compromise fallacy believes that the positions being considered represent extremes of a continuum of opinions , and that such extremes are always wrong , and the middle ground is always correct . This is not always the case . Sometimes only X or Y is acceptable , with no middle ground possible . Additionally , the middle ground fallacy can create the rather illogical situation that the middle ground reached in the previous compromise now becomes the new extreme in the continuum of opinions all one must do is present yet another , radically opposed position , and the middleground compromise will be forced closer to that position . In politics , this is part of the basis behind Overton window theoryHere ' s the thing , the right wing don ' t give a shit about appeal to moderation , they know what they want and they fight for it , they believe strongly in Hayek , Mises , Rothbard and it ' s their vision of the world they want to install . This is the reason Moderate left is such a pathetic position , because it ' s not even left anymore , it ' s Thatcherism with a human face . We live in an age where basic Social Democratic Keynesianism is considered Farleft , this is because the Moderates never fought for a left wing vision like the right fought for their vision , we compromised ourselves into obscurity as the Overton window shifted more and more to the right . Now we have literal NeoNazis being interviewed as legitimate political actors on mainstream media outlets .
