What left-wing extremism was that, exactly? Extreme upholding of human rights and equality? Extreme kindness and respect for fellow human beings? Extreme acceptance of people from all backgrounds, religious beliefs and sexual orientation? Extreme letting people live their damn life in whatever way they want as long as it doesn't harm others? Yeah, who wouldn't want to push back on that, sounds terrible eh?

So on this so-called extreme left, what exactly was/is so bad? You are expected to be nice to people when you meet them? You should consider the feelings of other human beings before you act? You had to rename a git branch because most of the people on your team agreed it's kinda lame to use a reference to slavery in a technical term? I've always wondered what people think the "extreme left" is and why they even remotely think it's somehow just as bad as the fascistic bullshit that sadistic, fear-driven socipaths keep working towards.

I hope not towards people that disagree with you or are labeled with an ism since they are monster.

>Extreme acceptance of people from all backgrounds, religious beliefs and sexual orientation?

Does that include Jihadists and child molester/groomer?

>So on this so-called extreme left, what exactly was/is so bad?

That is left as an exercise for the reader if you manage to answer truthfully.
