How to Tell if You are an Extremist

Politics has been called the “art of compromise”, but that title is only true in a democracy. In a democracy compromise is the only way to get things done. Democracy caters to the centre. It exerts tidal forces that push it’s participants to the centre of the political spectrum. That is why often, in a democracy, the dominant parties tend to end up, ideologically, looking very much like each other.

The extremes define themselves by their opposition to compromise. Extreme views exert the opposite force that democracy exerts. Extreme political views push participants away from the centre. The political extremes, whether “left” or “right”, favour dictatorial governments.

So the answer to the question is very simple. If you find yourself disliking democracy. If you find yourself wishing that a strong leader, who favours your political views, would assume control of the political discourse, and not relinquish it, there is a good chance that your political views are extremist in nature, no matter where they lie on the political compass.

The Agenda

How do you eliminate a massive number of people with a specific set of beliefs?

First you polarize the population along ideological lines. You push the people with that set of beliefs to the far end of a spectra of beliefs. You clearly demarcate those lines of belief, and entrench them.

Then you introduce a global threat.

Then you introduce something that will protect people from that threat, but won’t eliminate it, or diminish it’s global presence.

Then you make the people with the beliefs you want to eliminate believe that the one defence against that global threat is evil, and against their principles. You entrench that belief, so that it becomes religious dogma, an orthodoxy that they will die for.

Then you extend the reach of the global threat until it is inescapable.

In the final step you transform the threat from a dangerous threat, to a deadly threat.

Our current pandemic is now as contagious as the most contagious pathogen known to humanity. The only step remaining is the last one.

I personally have no idea if “The Agenda” that I have outlined here is real. If it is, it certainly isn’t your government, or any human government, that is pursuing it. It isn’t any one of your neighbours or your friends. It isn’t the people who look different than you do, or speak a different language than you do, or have different religious beliefs than you do, two houses down the block, or on the other side of the planet.

Your only defence is to get vaccinated. Stop believing lies. Go get vaccinated. Do it now.
