RE: Dictionaries Radically Redefine 'Extremism' To Mean 'Anyone Who Thinks Differently'!? How Extreme!
When I get to think or hear the "Extremist" word it just gives me the impression that they are referring to violent person/people/group that has an ideological reason for doing such bad deeds to society in order to push their agenda to the ruling or opposing government @ura-soul
Actually that is the definition of the word 'terrorist'. It is possible to be extreme in some ways as compared to 'the mainstream' population and so to technically be an extremist, but not do anything bad or even do anything that relates to governments or overpowering anyone. Ironically, in a society that largely uses the power of government to overpower almost everyone (such as taxation) - the extreme overpowering is called 'normal' anyway - so things are extremely confused and backwards!
An old definition of Extremism is:
So this suggests that a person will choose to go to extremes 'just for the sake of it' .. just to be extreme.
However we look at it though, the dictionary definition quoted in the original post cannot be justified!
I remember this movie where it showed that if you didn't pay your taxes the US government will take your money from your pocket (bank) so it is in a way gives terror to US citizens.
I say that it is an extreme thing and got surprised really learning about it @ura-soul
Oh absolutely, yes. I posted recently about how the US gov now prevents international travel if alleged taxes are unpaid! Welcome to prison America! :/
