Is it possible that people who claim be in the "centre" mistakenly fear the spectrum is wider, or the extreme margins more populated, than they really are?

Well whcih are you insinuating? That the spectrum is actually wider or that it is narrower? You're covering both bases here.

Either way it doesn't matter. If you're aiming for the centre then it really doesn't matter how far away the two extremes are. The mid point of 1 and -1 is the same as halfway between plus and minus a gazillion.

But I will agree that one's opinion of where the centre lies could be skewed if they misunderstood how far away one of the ends was.

In your response, please discuss the role of media in influencing societal perceptions, and the role of (mostly conservative or "centrist") governments in playing to (and capitalising on) fear of "the other"...

I don't really understand your question. It appears to be more of an opportunity to make a statement disguised as a question.

Your assertion that our centrist (both centre-left and centre-right) governments are 'conservative' ignores the fact that conservatism itself is liberal - liberalism has been a central tenet of Western society for a couple of hundred years. So when conservatives (who are also liberal and therefore centrist) push back against left wing bullshit it doesn't mean they want to go back to a time of illiberalism. It just means they like the status quo. Likewise when they push back against right wing bullshit it doesn't mean they are trying to dismantle Western (Christian) civilisation.

Hey @Gronk why haven't you posted the Trump/Turnbull phone call thing? Makes them both look like dicks.

I read it at the Washington Post this morning.

Trump is an erratic moron.

Both of them speak of the refugees like they were cattle. I know that most of them are economic refugees, but seriously successive Oz governments have really failed to find a solution to this shemozzle.

I know what it is and it's derogatory.

Whether you choose to use it in context of some sort of brain dead political follower "useful idiot" or not it's still playing that man rather than the ball. Why you feel to always position yourself as my intellectual superior is beyond me. I can only think it's to cover up your insecurities.

Your personal tirades have stalled conversations before. It's a shame that you don't learn from your mistakes. Perhaps it's just the way you're wired.

I play the ball with you, Gronky. The thing is, you don't know what the ball is.

Literally, all you do is parrot the talking points that Twitter, WaPo, NYT, the Guardian etc. tell you to parrot.

You are extremely predictable and one dimensional. There is not a single unique thought in your head.

So, justifiably, I call you on it. Not only is it fun but I am doing a service to the community. No need to thank me. Just start paying attention to the breadcrumbs I drop for you.

You see, Gronky, the likes of the Awan Brothers are inevitable. You think I'm bad now? Wait until my conjecture is shown to be truth. Holy Moly, that's gonna be bad for you...

I was under the impression it didn't do anything anyway. Does it?

I'm sorry, did someone say something? I don't appear to have been pinged.

So the Awan brothers are they a unique thought of yours, or are you parroting something you read?
