Once upon a time, this “political extremism“ used to just simply be called “being a decent human being“. How far we’ve fallen.
Well keep in mind some of these freedoms the far right has been whining about for a couple decades is literally someone suggesting they not be an intolerant racist homo/transphobe, and that some people should feel comfortable with saying "Happy Holidays" because not everyone celebrates Xmas.
Oh noes!
Every item on the list, I have.
I must be one of those dangerous violent extremists the TV warns us about! :O
The woke mind virus claims another victim. Truly tragic to see so much empathy.
You and your Auntie Fa!
The thought of other people living a good life. I just... I can't. It's just too horrible.
accepting of all religions
I'm not if said religion involves "removal of rights to others" and "dismantling democracy". And no, I don't care if they're "not real christians".

Yes, I raised my son to be a far left extremist. He’s nearly 30 and strong enough to cause havoc against a fascist regime.
I am not sorry.
All of mine are grown and doing good things too.

You forgot "unconditionally supports russian imperialism and repeats its propaganda incessently" .. wait, this isn't lemmy.ml 🫠
That prompts an interesting question: Is there a symbol for international communism that's recognizable to the general public?
I don't think there is a single one, but there are definitely styles that make you think it. Red themes, tools and machinery, fists in the air, etc.
This one of my favorites for Fully Automated Luxury Gay/Queer Space Communism. I doubt how widely it's known, though.
The hammer and sickle, no? The British communist party uses it to this day, at least
The initialism there is more unfortunate than the symbol.
Well…the people the right call leftist extremists are generally not leftists are have a tenuous leftist label.
Like…(modern) anarchists are generally apolitical or nihilists…and don’t come from the left at the rates they think they do. The Charlie Kirk shooter is a decent example of what somebody will say is this monolith of leftist extremism that exist in large numbers and is a cohesive group.
Short story long: those who use the label “leftist extremist” (without irony) are basically making a boogy man out of random crazies who they don’t have to ignore because they’re not clearly right wingers.
This isn’t the 70s…they don’t have The Weather Underground and The Black Panthers to scapegoat…so they just make shit up.
anarchists are nearly absolutely leftist. i dont know what youre on about.
Unless he is referring to anarcocapitalists.

anarcocapitalists
An odd form of anarchy that still requires the state to enforce property rights.

There is no more satire.
