It doesn't work that way. Take Nazism for example:
The NSDAP won the 1933 election with 43.9% votes. Literally 43.9% of the German people believed and supported the Nazi policies of Hitler.
To think that the Germans would again revert back to Nazism would be insane. What happened was an aberration at best.
Any form of extremist thinking is what is considered an unstable system. Sure extremism will have it's day but not always. It's always the moderate values and living that triumphs and continues to provide stability. So what you say is exactly opposite to what the reality is. Aberrations don't provide stability.
- ams6110 8y agoIn a historical context, tolerance of homosexuality is the aberration. And civilizations devolving from liberal/free to tyrannical has been a constant. Things seem good now because the vast majority of people have food and most other basic needs met. If that ever changes, things like equity for gays and transgenders will not even be on the radar. In the case of your Nazi example, people supported Nazism because the economy was in a shambles. When you're not eating, you don't really care as much about the Jews.
