So... I just had the most genuine, I swear, bizarre reaction... I thought 'action X' was disparaging to 'person Y' (keeping it abstract because this is honestly a revelation that I might had prejudice, but then again I reacted like I'd rationally reacted even if I didn't act on this perceived prejudice - only acted rashly due to alcohol, normally, but I still apply rationality to whatever outcome by double-checking etc.) - and I just so naturally assumed a certain political extreme due to usernames, but then there was an unexpected outcome since they both lied and advocated for murder... so...

One might truly wish that one side or another is more extreme than another, but, perhaps not... while certain sections may 'manufacture' extremism on the opposite side (see how I'm being vague?) - it may not necessarily be a complete conjecture that there is none. Nah, all extremism must be annihilated now and forever... of course, that is contradictorily extreme in itself, but as Popper stated, intolerance can't be tolerated or the latter will be annihilated.

So, if only you, the reader, is even mindful of all kinds of possible extremism and strive, if only, to stop just that. I am extreme against nothing but extremism itself. My passion burns at nothing, reacts to nothing, except hatred itself; such an all-consuming spawn of insanity, but one can't but help be against it even if, effectively, these lives all-consumed by raw hate are filling other lives with the same hate against them.

Can one be a serial killer of serial killers?

Wut?

I think the question is: can one make a coherent post that readers can understand? Because this is not that.

I think the OP was making a statement about the nature of hate. It's a destructive emotion, regardless of the target.

I'm a Gerald Ford terrorist.

From the much feared fanatically moderate. :evil:

We go around burning white lines on peoples lawns. You know...the white lines that they paint in "the middle of the road". We stick two vertical white sticks, right next to each other in the ground, and burn them on your front lawn to scare you ...if your political leanings are either to the left, or to the right, of President Gerald R. Ford. :lol:

Lol, where do I sign up? :jester:

Moderates by definition tend not to be extreme, because well they take a mix of views or middling views and it's hard to be extreme about: You can have an abortion as long as it's before the third trimester or your life is in danger.

I do fear the growing extremism in this country. Neo-Nazis and Anti-Fascists are both scary groups of people.
