Governments Crackdown On “Extremists” Is Extremely Dangerous

The government's decision to "crackdown on extremists" is a recipe for disaster.

The term "extremist" has a negative connotation in most people's minds.

But it is easily possible to be: Extremely beneficial. Extremely good. Extremely healthy. Extremely intelligent.

Just because something is “extreme” does not make it necessarily bad.

Empty concept. The term "extremist" is a completely empty term – it denotes nothing specific – unless it is attached to a second concept which gives it identity.

Extremely violent. Extreme right-wing. Extreme communist. Extremely religious. Extremely dangerous.

But… "Extreme" on its own means NOTHING!

Or to put it another way, "extremist" could mean ANYTHING the politicians want it to mean!

And therein lies the danger!

If the politicians pass laws to outlaw and punish "extremists" and if "extremist" could be anything … Then any political adversary, such as Reform UK, could be classified as "extremist."

Anyone with a contrary view to the government could easily be slapped with the label "far-right extremist" and be punished, fined, deplatformed, or worse.

Dangerous ground. We have the most coercive government we’ve known in our history. No other government has done what this Conservative party has done against the best interest of the British people.

I don’t trust them an inch.

The government is extremely dangerous. Because the government has a monopoly on physical force, it must be held in check.

Every extension of their power represents a potential danger to the rest of us.

We must reform British politics and change it for good.
