    “Extremism” doesn’t inherently mean “violent.” Equating those with far-left views with “bad and violent” views is unsubstantiated.

    Every single claim you’ve made, that extremism is bad because it drives people to “behave badly” is unsubstantiated. You’re arguing off of vibes alone.

    The two extremes are not “equally bad.” On the far-right, you have genocide and ethno-states under brutal fascist rule, on the far left you have a stateless, classless, moneyless society.
