The 1930's are clearly back in fashion, an ever increasingly repeated theme on this blog of 20 years. I really think there should be a certain limit to all pragmatism and centrism. Like passionate convictions, incomprehensible terms for many people I'm sure both conviction and passion. There really are hard limits, no negotiations, come hell or high water. This is how history is made, standing fast or endlessly retreating. And that's why our pragmatic, technocratic "liberal" foundations are so weak. These positions are not passionately, irrationally held.
