By your definition, all moral progress has been the result of “extremists.”https://twitter.com/IAmARealRealist/status/1124380734108704770 …

Define 'progress', Stefan. Moral progress should be good, but what most people call' progress' nowadays is dreadful.

i never said extremism or radical solutions are "bad". there is no moral qualifier involved here on my side. i am merely explaining what these terms refer to in a serious application of those words.

it is also VERY interesting to note that it is currently considered outside the overton window to suggest that a governments first and foremost duty is to protect the citizens from forces and threats that come from outside the country. very disturbing development.

Is far-left also an ad hominem attack? Asking for a friend.

If we play with the words, isn't "progress" when we move from inside the comfort zone towards outside of the comfort zone thus in the extreme of the border of what was the norm yesterday?

In evolutionary psychology, David Buss has theorized that morality emerges from 3 general classes of resource acquisition strategies: individual, group and exploitative. "Extremism" morality is very group-ish, so a shift would indicate underlying change in resource access.
-
Empirically, Peter Turchin has noted that increases/decreases in political polarization (eg more/less radicalization or extremism) reflects underlying change in the intensity of resource competition. So, it is fair to say that "Moral progress" is just a cycle.

Politicians have been throwing "extremist" around as a pejorative since the 1980s. It's a cheap, meaningless term.
