#2It’s funny how the elites use this ploy to stamp out any differences from the dominant narrative - from the alleged left or right. Freedom of speech is a danger to elites when you have freedom of reach (distribution).
Opposition American politician, Eugene Debs, with over a million votes (alleged extremist) imprisoned by autocratic President Woodrow Wilson for passing out pamphlets against the war entitled “ Anti-War Proclamation and Program”.

#3Is there any evidence to backup the claim that the person referenced is “far right” and “racist”?
It appears that these terms have lost meaning and are fair game to throw around regularly in articles about Trump supporters or conservatives.

#4This just part of the ongoing campaign to implement social control and censorship inspired in the model of China.
No thanks.

#5Extremism is relative. The opinions of an average American in 2008 would be labelled "far-right" today (see: opposition to gay marriage, transgenderism, support for colorblindness, I could go on). Sooner or later, people will see that it's a fool's errand keeping up with this runaway train of an overton window.

There are plenty and they are easy to find. It's hard to believe that your comment was made in good faith.

It's also hard to believe that you are casting doubt on the real problem that is political McCarthyism targeting Trump supporters and people who oppose One World Government directives.

#8Mirriam-Webster defines "extremism" [1] as "advocacy of extreme measures or views : radicalism"
By this definition, extremism and radicalism are equivocated. However, I know many people on the "left" presently identify as radicals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_left).
The article differentiates between the terms "extremism" and "radicalism" by assigning a "political-right" label to "extremists" and a "political-left" label to "radicals".
Stifling the extremes of one "side" while supporting the other "side" is how you implement cultural revolution. It is quite literally a repressive tactic.
The term "Whac-a-Mole" assigns a sense of childishness and fun to the extremism elimination efforts, which disarms "moderates" and dehumanizes cultural revolution.

That's a mischaracterisation. Debs was convicted of encouraging violations of the law, specifically the draft laws. His arguing against the war was held to be perfectly legal.

His wikipedia article gives a bunch of examples, including saying that Trump supporters have no recourse but to kill government officials.
