    someone who doesnt think you should have human rights isnt moderate though. there is such a thing as people who disagree with you but are not extremists.

      That’s a good point. I guess things have gotten so bad I don’t consider those views to be held only by extremists anymore but maybe (and hopefully) I’m wrong about that.

        well since it is an extreme, anyone holding that viewpoint is an extremist. it has nothing to do with how common it is.

          Isn’t the fact that it’s uncommon what makes it extreme though? I could be wrong about that but I’m not sure how else you’d define what is extreme vs not.

          • I think how extreme is nothing to do with how popularity. Nacis were popular yet everyone can agree they were extremist. In an ideal world democracy should keep the extreme views unpopular…
