I am an extremist - I use GrapheneOS and I think the government shouldn't kill people for being gay.

This really is my big issue with the focus on “extremist, moderate, centrist, whatever”.
I don’t care what the centrist or moderate opinion is. It’s been insanely wrong many times throughout history.
Let’s focus less on “extreme” and more on “unprincipled, uncritical, illogical, undercooked”.
If you discard those categories, ignore extreme vs moderate, you get rid of anything that we should consider “bad” that is normally captured by “extreme”
