      I feel like any kind of extremism is bad, I mean, it’s in the name unfortunately. Religious extremism is obviously no exception to that.

        Democracy used to be an extremist position. Questioning the divine rule of kings in favor of letting the plebs vote?

        Completely unthinkable

        So, it’s nuanced

        Extremism is a subjective marker, and I hope you’d never learn that yourself (:

        It is objectively true though that this person’s autonomy was unlawfully disrupted for reasons inspired by herd mentality, magical thinking and egocentrism. That’s before this kind of agenda being of it’s own corporation with pipelines, money and supporters.
