"Extremist" is an interesting accusation because it depoliticizes the inherently political. The supposed bad thing is that the object of derision allegedly deviates from the "norm", but this says nothing about whether it is correct or good in actuality. It only works on an inherently reactionary audience, or one that absorbs emotional content unquestioned (the intonation that it is bad to be the extremist is internalized without analysis).

If you're exceptionally lucky, you go from extremist to having been always right 30 years after they kill you.
They’ll also rewrite your legacy.
Why can't you extremists be as nonviolent as these people we labeled violent terrorists back then? Learn to protest in ways we can ignore.
that probably one of the biggest reasons that they have it out for shienbaum; her existence proves what can happen if people actually protested like they used to do back in the 1960's & 70's
Depends on whether cooptation or vilification suits them. They can turn on a dime.
