Ok everyone, here is another blog post for the mad blog which is more reflective and less mad this time. And it has to do with political “extremism” often being seen as a key problem or even the key problem on either "side," when really it’s not always a difference in degree and devotion behind the most damaging people. Those who tear up society shouldn’t be automatically seen as just hyper-motivated versions of normal people, or over-involved ideology representatives who somehow got carried away with what would have been a good cause. Truly detrimental views and actions often have a totally different orientation towards some kind of wrong living. Problem people who political campaigners want to associate with their opponents have a variety of motives and bad belief systems. This is one of the reasons why it’s not working out for people to reduce everything to a dual political party fight in the first place, which millions have in fact fallen for. But even those who cast a vote of any kind don’t necessarily subscribe and oppose in the patterns that so many activists and politicians would want to make it seem. So how much more so are the crazy criminals not just some kind of highly concentrated form of legitimate mainstream directions. There is such thing as extremism, there is such thing as going off the deep end, but I am tired of people saying that bad people are just me but worse, or me, but “more so.” Or me, but more progressed along the exact path I am on, which is doing the best I can like most other people. Do people really want everything to be about politics? To be decided by one check mark on a piece of paper every four years? The people who want that must not have any other deeds to their name. I feel sorry for them and for everyone who has to live in the same country as them.
