Well there are but they don't tend to last long.I don't think there are very many extremists on either side here.

Pelosi the to the right of AOC and Biden is to the right of Pelosi. So Biden and Pelosi are right wing extremists
I would agree with you that Ben Shapiro is right wing, but not extremist. His views are conservative, for sure, but not extremist.Just to be clear, because I think it fair and accurate to label many people "right wing" but adding the 'extremist' modifier by definition requires a pretty high arbitrary bar. So I do call people like Ben Shapiro right wing, but not an 'extremist'. With that out of the way;
Generally, I agree. However I would personally expand that to ethno-nationalists and extreme religious fanatics. Really any far right ideology which advocates for mass violence.
Yes. Here is a good example of the religious fanatic category I was talking about.
@aCultureWarrior believes in in creating a authoritarian theocracy. He fundamentally rejects the concept of freedom, believing it only allows people to pursue godless/immoral/sinful behavior and therefore it is the moral imperative of the state to prevent people from engaging in godless behavior.
I'm sure he will see this and confirm himself in this thread, but EMNofSeattle explicitly does not believe in Democracy. He has argued explicitly in favor on monarchism on several occasions.
Of course there was the legendary (and now banned) Alizia Tyler.
She doesn't think that Black and White people are able to coexist within the same civilization. She has also claimed that Black people are simply to uncivilized to build a functioning society themselves and that we should put programs in place to (supposedly) voluntarily deport them.
Democrats have supported the idea of socialism and 76% of democrats polled said they would vote for a socialist for President.
All of this and those who want to roll back our legal regime back to the early 1900s and get rid of modern institutions as well as those who are obsessed with the second amendment.Off the top of my head far right extremists are white supremacists (subs such as skinheads; alt right) conspiracy theorists and those who want to overthrow the government as in the 1/6 insurrection. Then there are individual far right extreme movements such as ridiculous abortion laws; voting suppression; radical religious groups
As far as on this board -- don't know anyone well enough to categorize them although I do think some are just trolls
Those too. I may be back to add more as I think about itAll of this and those who want to roll back our legal regime back to the early 1900s and get rid of modern institutions as well as those who are obsessed with the second amendment.
What a salacious and truly idiotic post. More than that it’s utterly dishonest which is a obvious trait of a left wing extremist.Every republican voter is an extremist at this point, becuase the entire GOP is pandering to extremists or they just sit idly by and protect them. So they can **** off with their whines of not being associated with extremists, the GOP mainstream is full on Taliban. don't like it, stop voting for them. At least on the fed level and in some particular states
Truly a salacious and idiotic post typical of a left wing extremist. This is the type of foolishness now found in the progressive wing of the soon to be broken Democrat party. People like you are killing the freedoms that are hero’s fought and died for. Shame on you for such rhetoric.Every republican voter is an extremist at this point, becuase the entire GOP is pandering to extremists or they just sit idly by and protect them.

I also agree, but there are certainly exceptions.I agree that a racial-nationalist and extreme religious fanatics can also be extremists, particularly if they advocate violence. Generally, those folks also fit the defintion of fascists or Nazis, at least in most instances.
I think there are plenty of people that are racist but aren't extremists. Racial nationalists are pretty much definitionally extremist though.Racists today who are racial nationalists are in fact extremists, but we would also need to be careful of the other usage of "Racist" which applies to "all white people." If one moves into that usage, then suddenly it's not extremist to be racist anymore.
He's not a left wing extremist.Truly a salacious and idiotic post typical of a left wing extremist.
He thinks he's stealth. He's not.The use of the term "globalist" as a scary boogy-man, or speaking in hushed terms about George Soros, is always a dead giveaway.
"Globalism refers to various patterns of meaning beyond the merely international. It is used by political scientists, such as Joseph Nye, to describe "attempts to understand all the interconnections of the modern world—and to highlight patterns that underlie (and explain) them."[1] While primarily associated with world-systems, it can be used to describe other global trends. The concept of globalism is also classically used to distinguish the ideologies of globalization (the subjective meanings) from the processes of globalization (the objective practices).[2] In this sense, globalism is to globalization what nationalism is to nationality.
The term is now frequently used as a pejorative by far-right movements and conspiracy theorists. False usage in this way has also been associated with anti-semitism, as anti-semites frequently appropriate the word globalist for Jews.[3][4][5]"

I've noticed some faction of the membership of Debate Politics seems to apply the label "right wing extremist" rather loosely (at least based on my understanding of the term).
So, are there "right wing extremists" on this board? What ideas make one a right wing extremist?
I usually associate right wing extremism with neo-Naziism, neo-fascism and their underlying ideas. Do others here have a different standard? What's your meaning if/when you use that term?
If you've found right wing extremists here, what made you think they were right wing extremists? What ideas did they express that qualified them for that?
First off, the question in that poll was:Recall, the Democrats have supported the idea of socialism and 76% of democrats polled said they would vote for a socialist for President.
He is to the right of Trump, he is far-right-wing, ie, an extremist.Ben Shapiro
Yeah neoliberalism really redefined a ton of political boundaries.They neither of them are left wing by any normal measure. Reagan skewed the entire USA politics to the right, and it's set one step over from the rest of the world.
He's more conservative than Trump, but he's not a right wing extremist. Nobody ever accused Trump of being strictly "conservative." He's a populist.He is to the right of Trump, he is far-right-wing, ie, an extremist.
I have no idea how being to the right of Trump makes someone NOT an extremist, that is not a negation of extremism.He's more conservative than Trump, but he's not a right wing extremist.
Again that is not a negation of Shapiro's extremism.Nobody ever accused Trump of being strictly "conservative." He's a populist.
What the **** are you talking about, where are you drawing this unsupported claim from?Shapiro is the more traditional Republican that Democrats have wanted to "get back to" for the years of Trump.
Because Drumpf was not far enough to the right wing for Shapiro, ie, Shapiro is to the right of Drumpf.Shapiro opposed Donald Trump's candidacy in 2016.
Oh, I agree that the GOP has moved to the right, endorsing and being taken over by the likes of MTG, Cawthorn, Cotton, Blackburn, Boebert ....but they are not traditional and all are to the left of Shapiro.He holds traditionally conservative Republican views.
Gee, thats a big list, we can start by his claim that the majority of Muslims are radicals , I can cite his nationalistic racism that parallels with Stormfront rhetoric:What of his opinions do you view as "extremist?"
For the most part, on this board anyway, "Right Wing Extremist" means anyone that disagrees with anything a left leaning poster says. If a lefty says, "Traffic lights should be blue" and anyone disagrees then that person is a "Right Wing Extremist".I've noticed some faction of the membership of Debate Politics seems to apply the label "right wing extremist" rather loosely (at least based on my understanding of the term).

Yes. I did make an error.What do you find sexual about his comments, or do you misunderstand the meaning of "salacious"?

-snip-"Supporting" the post-birth poor by deliberately keeping their states among the most difficult places to obtain non-emergency
medical treatment while locking them up at 3X or 4X the incarceration rate of Massachusetts fits a mindset of forced pregnancy

After Four Years, IRS Finally Confirms There Was No Targeting of Tea Party Groups

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, who was one of the ringleaders of the original Lois Lerner lynching, is pretending that the new audit confirms what “government watchdogs” like Kevin Brady have been saying all along: “Bureaucrats at the IRS, such as Lois Lerner, arbitrarily and haphazardly administered the tax code and targeted taxpayers based on political ideology.”
No. That’s not what they were saying at the time. They said the Obama IRS was corruptly targeting conservative groups for harassment. But that wasn’t true. Whether or not the BOLO list was a good idea, it never had anything to do with Obama. It got its start back in 2004, and during the Obama administration it was mostly used to target liberal groups."
