What is “extremist”?

Apparently, a DEI stamp is a "get out of extreme"-free card.

I think I have a pretty reasonable mind insofar as my ability and somewhat willingness to process opposing thought. I'm not at all shut-out on what the ‘other side’ in America wants. In fact, most days I feel like I'm drowning in it. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else. I'm just saying my positions aren't rooted in ignorance, and I believe that applies fairly to my understanding of the opposition too. More and more, I am encountering a position in good-faith of “The left has some extremist issues but they've been able to keep it tempered down”. And then tails into how the right is a descending extremist and authoritarian threat that must be stopped at all costs. Let me explain why this bothers me so much...

I'm surely not casting my own morality-binary here. I think those who make it seem one is abhorrent for casting their vote are spitting in the face of our country's fundamentals. You go in a booth and cast a vote for whoever you want. You don't have to justify that to anyone. “Don't vote for him, he's bad” just means “Vote for my guy”. Piss off! That applies to all colors. So if you've analyzed it all and come to the determination that Threat Red is worse than Threat Blue, fair enough. I personally find that analysis broken and atrocious. But I respect your right to hold it and those who spend the time to understand why they do, I respect the position in full.

But don't tell me the left has been able to keep their issues in check. This leftist Frankenstein has run roughshod over our colleges almost in full. It was but months ago we had a Queers for Palestine zombie apocalypse damn near nationwide - a beast that hasn’t been tempered one bit and is being ran away from instead. We have D-Equity-I consuming every public branch, and the private sphere under the moniker of ESG. We have every activism vein branded around the communist fist. Openly; proudly! We have ze/zir/xim being pushed as science and medicine across every one of our institutions. We have Queer+ dogma which hardly any Americans support being forced down every cultural channel and into our schools down to Kindergarten. We're called horrible names if we dare speak up, on our own children’s behalf. For (very not)Christ's sake, I posted on X last night a clip of our Assistant HEALTH SECRETARY saying we need to push “gender affirming care” on children nationwide. Biden not only still speaks of “trans kids”, anyone who will not genuflect to this modern-day Jonestown is attacked systemwide and dehumanized. Queen Hillary broadcasts Hatecraft to millions complete with “travel advisories” warning that gay Americans are “not safe” if they enter Florida - the state that made gay culture accepted and cool before that was a thing. The state of South Beach and ArtDeco that holds FantasyFest every year in the Keys. Does the entire DNC base believe in gender spirits and zems and zirs? Then is this not extremist?!? Because the DEI labels get slapped on it, the word does not apply?

I mean, WTF are we talking about here? Men being able to lay claim to any right or space or privilege or title of women just by being able to say so is not extreme? This being codified into Title IX and forced as science and medicine is not extreme? On what level of deranged world would that NOT be extreme?!? And yet, that is the Team Blue initiative. 100%. Right now. D-Equity-I all over anything leftist revolutionaries want to capture. I feel like we don't really deny this anymore - FINALLY, at the public surface. Buuuuuuuut, it just doesn't apply in the political framing? We are going to pretend that some other DNC exists for the “median Democrats” who are not on board with the woke insanity I just described? The very shit being codified permanently into our law by your party leaders? The same leaders that have been huffing and spewing unhinged activism and Hatecraft of various flavors for half a decade straight now?

Again, if you have analyzed this all and think it still needs to be Team Blue; cool, you do you. But that's not the position I’m calling out here. Don't continue painting The Moral vs. The Monsters. Not after all we've seen (i.e. all we’re now allowed to talk about instead of pretending it doesn’t exist or being attacked if we do). How dare you! How can you ask me to swallow the position that the threat of radicalism from the left has somehow been tamed or reined in? We haven't even BEGUN to address all I just described. And it's being propelled by NatSec and forced by a now-quite-overt censorship effort and anti-First Amendment crusade. A fundamentally anti-America campaign that our historic "free speech defenders” now apparently support gung-ho in the name of “saving Our Democracy”. It doesn’t even make sense; hell, The Atlantic headlined RKF Jr. when he threatened The Cause as “The First MAGA Democrat”. I don’t even think most who swing the term “MAGA” could even define it.

It’s just staggering to witness. A complete abandonment of damn near every principle once branded around as “classical liberal values”… which, of course, all dissent there was crushed with Hatecraft too. Now they achieve many of those objectives but the insatiable activism (“Hope! Change! Progress!”, catnip for brainwashed zombies) had to continue. Like a fire, it must be fed. And that’s precisely what this is: an Equity fire.

And what is “Equity”? That is literally the opposite of “equality under law”, our most bedrock American principle. And yet, all Americans are being forced to submit and downright worship D-Equity-I as nothing short of our new state religion. “Equity” is a nice way of saying “moral discrimination”. “Equity” is a fancy way of saying “Replace capitalism with control by the Collective”. That’s communism, folks; all dressed-up to get in the nice cocktail parties around the Beltway. How could anyone NOT describe this all-consuming push as “extremist” in the American lens? How about the below speech from Canada’s second in command to our graduates in Boston last year? The one where she commanded our youth and our future to abandon capitalism and American freedom for her feverish dreams of “Climate Quixote” capture?

Are her words there “extremist”? I can’t think anyone could argue otherwise. Yet, would anyone who matters within the DNC disclaim those very same words? Nope, not a chance even a single one would speak against them (and defend our most basic American principles). Why? Because that would clash with the revolutionary goal of “Equity”; the dismantling of capitalism. This is the new gospel and all dissent shall be dehumanizing and squashed. Because they know Team Blue is empowering and advancing this same radicalized anti-capitalism/Equity crusade here in the states. Did you see this article from Time Magazine this week…

Wow, how bout that. It’s the exact same call for anti-capitalism revolution in the name of Climate Quixote, which is really just another tentacle of Equity capture. Are these ideas from the scary right? Are these actions designed to save us from authoritarianism, defeat fascism, and save American democracy? No, these are all part of the same Truman Show machine capturing our nation to destroy capitalism and replace it with Equity. But this can’t be “extremist” because it’s being done by The Good People, you see. The Moral would never do wrong, only the Monsters.

I think the threat comparison between red and blue in the Executive is laughable myself. I really don’t even see a comparison that can be made once honestly taking an accounting of it all which isn’t just an embarrassing display of tribalism. In my opinion, you have to ignore so much overt authoritarianism and pissing all over the very basic tenets of our Constitution to even try and argue this the other way. Me? I think the same propaganda machine that manufactured and forced all of that mass-mania and leftist insanity above created this big scary Red Army that it appears millions of Americans can no longer think of any topic without obsessing over. Mission accomplished! It’s complete mind-lock of existential threat; regime-style behavior. But that's just my take. I’m not asking us to reset The Moral vs. The Monsters the other way. In fact, I’m explicitly calling for it to be abandoned entirely.

Intellectual honesty. Why can't we just have intellectual honesty?

In a majority Christian nation, how is what I describe below NOT considered “extremist”? Because you slap terms like “Diversity” or “Equity” or “Inclusion” on it? Because some life-long academic said so? This intellectual position is not only indefensible, it is manipulative and wrong. You want to exclaim the merits of Team Blue in the Executive? Fantastic, have at it! This is what America is all about. But for anyone to have the audacity to try and paint only a sense of Red Army radicalism and extremist threat in our nation is so dishonest that even those espousing it know it inside. And THAT is what led to me writing this piece. Because I’m seeing way too many people who I hold in high regard regurgitate this absurd and juvenile Hatecraft spin. If we want to move on as one people again, this dehumanizing propaganda cannot continue.

What you see in this video below should deeply concern you. This level of “othering” and unhinged danger-based hysteria can only end one way. And if we allow this moralizing mind-lock to continue, it WILL end in calamity. Guaranteed. What you see from this person (presumably normal just a few years ago) is the very definition of “extremist”. Just because he presents flimsy surely doesn’t mean he isn’t capable of heinous acts.

Team End Hate has become hate. And that’s because the powers than be continue to pump this same powder keg day in and day out. And they deploy this Hatecraft (moral superiority/emotional-abused propaganda) 24/7/365 in order to keep their base so revved-up they don’t have to grapple with the nuts and bolts underlying the issues anymore. We are Good/safety, they are Bad/danger. Once there, nothing else matters.
