Hilarious! Trump having problems finding artists.

How are we defining "extremists" here, because I'm talking about beliefs rather than actions. There are plenty of people on the left who hold extreme opinions and express them as loudly as those on the right. For example, those in support of banning GMOs, nuclear power, etc, or those who hold that only women can get raped, and that male college students accused of rape should be investigated and judged by the college rather than the police. There are also those who believe in "safe spaces" in college campuses where freedom of speech is suppressed for fear of upsetting people. That's just a few opinions that leftist extremists have.

The last two examples are of course ridiculous. But I doubt that they represent more than the extreme fringe of any leftwing movement.

But how does the opinion that nuclear power carries dangers and should be shut down compare to inciting hatred against certain groups people? How does fighting capitalism compare to outright racism?

What I mean, one is hurtful, the other one isn't if it doesn't find a majority. Many things such as replacing nuclear power for new forms of energy isn't even hurtful if it was persued. It actually is persued in many European countries.

My opinion is this, if one side is attacking actual people while the other side simply strives for some kind of utopia for all the people, I know which side to choose. Given only those two choices.
