Extremism is the realized ultimate endpoint of any particular paradigm.
To be labeled as an extremist there must be something less severe to believe.
Extremism is synonymous with radicalism, in that it typically involves a fringe movement.
Sometimes, extremists or radicals can convince the general population of their views and then the view becomes mainstream.
Take, for instance, the formation of Christianity or the American Revolution.
In both instances, a relatively small group gains a foothold in the minds of the people and, eventually, enough people believe in Jesus or in American independence to form a new religion or a new country.
What we have in our own government are extremists who think it is ok to play war games with civillian lives.
This is an extreme view, in my opinion.
But, in their opinion, it is not extreme to murder, on a mass scale or individuals, for the end goal of domination of resources such as oil and land.
It must be, if it has been carried out, quite mundane for some people to plan and execute large-scale devastation of humans and infrastructure for such events to take place at all.
There are religious extremists, of course, but they have largely been framed by what I would call neoconservative extremists.
The neoconservative extremists are part of a group known as the New World Order.
It is neither new nor orderly.
What is a neoconservative?
Someone who wants a complete American Empire or, perhaps, more aptly, a western-centric world empire.
What is a neoconservative extremist? Someone who will do anything necessary to complete the American Empire.
This includes the 9-11 false flag demolitions and other such incidents.
We must not let America be hijacked by neoconservative, nihilistic, extremists.
These people worship a god called power and they will do anything to serve their god.
Extremists think they see the world so clearly and perfectly that they are able to judge whether the lives of innocent men, women, and children are worth sacrificing for.
Extremists believe, unshakably, that they are completely and totally right even if they are not.
But, being right about something is often an aesthetic decision like one's favorite color and not something that can be argued about.
Extremists are usually co nvinced of something so powerfully that it is unshakable.
They will defend their views or their lies indefinitely.
Is it an extremist thing to do, to foul the whale meat of a Japanese fishing boat?
Not in my opinion.
But it would be extremist to start shooting humans over it.
Any act that is not a just use of force is extreme.
But, what constitutes a just use of force?
This can only be decided a the time and in retrospect, not with absolutes.
To say that no force is ever justified would mean the raped could not repel the rapist.
To say that force is right is to be psychopathic.
