    Eh, I’d say there’s a lot of second-guessing but people are just so dumb that it ends up like that anyway. And leftist extremism, while it is and can be bad in many ways, isn’t as bad as right extremism.

      I specifically omitted levels of “badness” because it’s functionally immaterial to identifying that there’s a problem in the first place. Unless of course your only goal is to win a political dick-measuring contest and not effect real lasting change.

      Leftist extremism is we need to destroy society. Rightist extremism is “we need to genocide black people” yeah, pretty clear one is a lot better
