I’ll just copy-paste a comment (not mine) from a different subthread: “This all-or-nothing approach to morality is stupid. Just because not every decision in your life may be 100% morally justifiable, that does not mean “throw all ethics over board”.”

I can somewhat see where you're going with this, but I cannot possibly see how it is a reaction to my comment.


Very insightful comment, I suppose you represent the modern, alternative right movement then?

This is a very big problem, you can't have bags like "the left" or "the right" because that's too general to represent any meaningful philosophy.

As an example, many people would argue Clinton is left. I'd argue she's on the center right of the spectrum, if not further and would certainly not refer to her as left-wing in general. I'm not making a judgment here as to which is correct, but it demonstrates pretty clearly that broad labels are not at all helpful.


I seek to represent those interested in a moderated and careful approach to moral dilemmas, where the restraints of ideological extremism and tribalism are left at the door.


I don't think this represents all or even most of the modern left. Just like on the right, the vocal minority seems to have taken the spotlight.
