This post got me thinking.
In my eyes there are 2 extremists. The racist and the crazy liberal. I've seen liberals on this board claiming anyone who disagrees with them is a racist or coming up with some retarded argument like...
1: Racism occurs.
2: ???
3: I'm right even if my argument is contradictory.
...and I'm beginning to see similarities. Due to it's mild value of human rights liberalism generally is not a terrible ideal, but this doesn't mean it is infallible.
Are you the liberal prowling this forum? Do you think I am secretly racist? Let's try to find out why.
http://dis.4chan.org/read/newpol/1161822749/43 got one thing right, there certainly were racists in that thread and they were extremists, however there were 2 types of anti-racist in that thread.
A: People who point out contradictions.
B: People who blurt random conspiracy theories and labels all opponents racists.
Occasionally B helps point out contradictions, but usually just repeating what A said and only a small percentage of the total volume of text.
Contrast this with discussions concerning statements that are certainly liberal.
C: People who point out contradictions.
D: People who blurt random conspiracy theories and use bigotry.
As we can see A=C. There are also similarities between B and D, the difference is that D uses bigotry and B calls all it's opponents racist. The motives for this are unclear but the effects are the same, the attempt to discredit a person's argument based on the person speaking rather than the argument itself. It is an act of desperation. Both B and D possess the property of extremism to a high degree.
Have any racists managed to read this far? If so can you tell what race I am? Black? What about the liberals? I'm white you say? Well there is nothing to suggest I am either! May I ask that you explain how you came to those conclusions?
http://dis.4chan.org/read/newpol/1161822749/43 was trying to reinforce claims that people who disagree with them on other threads were racist. If I did not type this and the next sentence undoubtedly the liberal would respond by claiming I was saying that the racists in that thread were not extremists. In fact it is not a case of a person either being racist or liberal, but a case of a person being one of the many different types of extremists or a non-extremist. Naturally if an ideology is not extreme and it's followers maturely debate the ideal then the ideology must either mold towards reason or become extremist. Liberal ideals are massively more reasonable than racist/fascist ideals, however liberals are still unbending with their obsession with marx-related ideals and the ease at which they resort to manipulation of their followers and other people through extremism.
