    Ah that’s right, when the people disagree with the ruling class and the oligarchs bank-rolling them, it’s called “extremism.”

    See also: “climate change” and “genocide”

      Gestapo indiscriminately murdering people in the streets? Law and order.

      People protesting billionaires burning down the planet just so they can add more billions to their huge pile of billions? Extremism.

      When the government are literal fascists it is extremely difficult to not be an extremist.

      Thinking the law should apply to everyone, even rich people, that’s extreme.

    People get so extremist when I set fire to their property.

    I feel threatened. It is unsafe that they are allowed to be angry at me.

    When the bread starts to get expensive, you can’t have the masses protesting against the circus. Doesn’t surprise me in the least that they’d come down hard on the anti-tech crowd.

      The only people who are actually anti-tech tend to be older people who “don’t do computers”. I’m not anti-technology, I’m anti-losing my job to a piece of software that, to rub salt in the wound, doesn’t actually work.

      Oh and as a bonus it raises the temperature of the local environment by an amount that we would have to burn coal for over a century in order to match.

    What’s considered extreme is a very subjective thing. That idea is often weaponised against the otherwise ignorant

    Helpful reminder to everyone
