I'm a radical centrist.

I side with the left politically in meatspace because the right is a threat to my community. But honestly I think everyone in the cultural mainstream would be horrified by my views on life, humanity and the future.

The average person is risk averse and gets anxious when their favorite restaurant changes their menu. I want to spread trillions of human souls out into outer (and inner) darkness in a wave of riotous morphological and psychological diversity, like seeds in the wind. We're not the same.

Probably because there's no answer as to why in that Lovecraftian scheme.

Why what?

Growth is axiomatic to life. In nature, if you're not growing then you're dying. There's no middle ground.

The right is not a threat. Neither side is really a threat. It's like a two siblings argument over what to do within the family. Too much right and its terrible, too much left and it's terrible. Both sides are needed to keep the family straight. Like checks and balances. That's how I see but I could be wrong. My family is a mixture of both and we get along just fine at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This is silly. There’s an apparent tendency for the right to skew far more towards authoritarianism and also towards threatening behaviour towards certain demographics across the last century.

I'm pretty sure you got that wrong. Have you seen the current state of the left? I mean they want people on lists and wish death on people...

And the right go out and actually commit terrorism and kill people.

Hmmm... I don't know about that. You might be very wrong on that.

I'm not reading that. Whatever you got there I can go find ten examples for each of yours but I ain't got time for that. I'll trust your not pulling my leg.
