I find it very unlikely that you have exposure both to the extreme left and the extreme right.

That does seem unlikely. The extreme left is a good bit smaller than the extreme right. The vast, vast majority of Democrats that MAGA folks like to paint as communists are in fact damn near as conservative as they are on most issues. You could probably put all the actual communists in America in a single stadium, with space left over.

  I would say that the stupidest of the left is smarter than the stupidest on the right, but being smart is not what we are talking about. This site proves you can be pretty smart and damn hard to colaborate with :) Also I would argue that being a communist is not the same distance from the center as being a maga. But more importantly, this is irrelevant. Cause I'm not american.

    Communists as in ceasing land from everyone and putting it in the hands of the party elite?

I don't have nazis if this is what you are refering to. Just like I don't have murderers and rapists. But I do have communists, anarchists on one side, and royalists (people in favor or a king) and pro putin on the other. I have anti-vax and phd in physics, millionaires and state help seekers, cops and people making their own amphetamin, people going to all protests and those telling off illegal immigrants to the police. It's like saying it's both hot and cold. You can argue I don't live in the sahara or in the north pole, but I live in France.

I know tankies and I know white nationalists, do they count? I don't approve of their political beliefs in either case but I can get along with them, as in coexist with them in a workplace or hobby space, if they behave better than they believe (most seem to, their beliefs are mostly hot air and the way they actually treat people is more egalitarian than they might care to admit themselves.)
