      So now they are quite revolutionary too but don't really have a coherent plan apart from to find everything problematic.

      TBF this is the fringe. The left in general accepts reality much more than the right does. Also, the right fringe is much, much uglier.

      Yes, the far-lefts I am talking about. The extreme views.

      But doesn't it feel that although misguided and annoying they are mostly harmless?

      I just don’t see how it can compare to Climate Change denial, or racism.

      It prevents us from dealing properly with climate change & racism.

      It might be a background issue too. Being from the humanities you may have seen more of it than people that come from the natural sciences.

      We're all suffering from a lack of public confidence in the left.

      No need to fix the left then? Everything's essentially fine & people will not vote right.

          Not at all. I think you correctly identify problems with the left fringe that a lot of people find off-putting.

          Historically, the general left was more accepting of reality. I dont think its valid anymore. Biblical religion is not a roadblock now

          Does this compare in any way with pulling out of the Paris climate accords?

          Mate, I understand your concern over climate denial. I am a man of science too. It's an unhelpful smear

          I think the problem is confusing a problematic fringe with the left

          A relative game of the far left arent as bad as the far right. Sure, in absolute terms. Its a bad way to compare. Far left ideas pervasive.

          In the US the far right elected a climate change denier. Doesn't get any worse than that.
