Anti-vaxxers and anti-GMOs are the proof that far right and far left meet each other in the extremes.

- cpburns2009 10y agoI was under the impression anti-vaccination and anti-GMO attitudes were more common among liberals than conservatives (in the U.S. at least).
- Jemmeh 10y agoI see both of those issues on both sides of the fence personally, just for different reasons. I live in Southern USA and there's a lot of agriculture here, a lot of the farmers I know are conservative and anti-GMO. But I think they're mostly against it because of all the food patents and monopolies. Most of the left-leaning people I know are more against it because "we need more research/we have a poor understanding of nutrition".

- dragonwriter 10y agoNot really, they aren't necessarily far on either side. They arexamples of uniformed opinions, one of which is predominant on the left and one on the right (though with a sizable left component), but lots of the people with those opinions are otherwise moderate members of the right or left. Extremism and ignorance may correlate (or not), but at a minimum they are distinct issues.
