The ire of left wingers and targets of assimilation for the right.

Not to be confused with centrist (who reject all left and right wing theories completely) moderates try to 'meet in the middle' and tout themselves as superior to either extremes, condemning both, particularly the left, as impractical. The moderate may adopt talking points from either wing but generally tend to err on the side of conservatism, which you may expect given that so much of moderate rhetoric focuses on practicality as opposed to value.

The largest existing criticism of moderate political thought is that it considers the right and left to have equal credibility, even in their most extreme manifestations.

On one end, the furthest extreme of the left calls societal reconstruction; the rightmost for genocide. This is the position that says that the counter-protesters in Charlottesville are just as bad as those chanting 'Jews will not replace us' and went on to murder a woman and injure 14 others by running them down with a car. To present the view that society should serve all the people in it as being equal as all non-whites are inferior is cruel and disingenuous to the extreme.

To call for 'compromise' for the sake of practicality is to say that violence is permissible if it serves to maintain the status quo. That isn't practical, it's lazy.
