"Extremism" is a term that relieves its user of making any value judgments on the political questions at hand. A thought-terminating cliché that shovels unearned acceptance on the status quo and an unearned rejection of everything else.
A particularly funny part of it is that the early architects of thst status quo would hsve counted as extremists.
