Could you clarify? I don't understand the implication here. The above language can apply equally to any number of large, sometimes violent, protests that are primarily built on and disseminate information via a social media platform.
- JKCalhoun 6y agoI thought extremism pretty much defined itself. Any political position that is void of any factual evidence to back it up, that acknowledges no nuance.... Just off the top of my head, but I think we all know extremism when we see/hear it.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoYes, that's why I'm asking what the parent meant by "we all know who gets to define 'extremism'" because the rhetoric suggests my assumption of a broadly applicable notion of extremism might be incorrect.
- chevill 6y ago>Just off the top of my head, but I think we all know extremism when we see/hear it. I think there's a substantial amount of people that don't. Or rather, they can easily identify extremism in people they don't relate to while completely ignoring it in people that they find even the tiniest amount of common ground with. This seems to be the natural and inevitable result of treating politics like a team sport for 200+ years.
