@nadabakos @DaveedGR Well, the opposite of that kind of "extremism" is what? Conformity? (Which that paper was also about)
@DaveedGR Rename it then. It's a clear pole, though, w/one side considered "normal" even if extremist. @papicek @nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Libertarian/non-libertarian. You're getting at the same dynamic without labeling people authoritarian. -
@DaveedGR I object to that. It's a political party, one including Ted Cruz who's actually authoritarian.@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos Libertarian is also a philosophy. But at any rate, that is a fairer way to frame than authoritarian. -
@DaveedGR Right. One VERY many non-authoritarians don't espouse in the least.@papicek@nadabakos

@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos We started out with acknowledgement the world is complex. Authoritarian/not is an unfairly simplifying frame -
@DaveedGR As is right left. Maybe it is in fact too hard to define extremes once you admit complexity?@papicek@nadabakos -
@emptywheel@papicek@nadabakos No. It isn't difficult to discern that extremes do, in fact, exist.
