I've found that extremes tend to lend themselves to extreme thinking, i.e. wanting the other side to be censored. The only group that has consistently not been this way, in my experience, are those closer to the middle. Not the lame, uninformed "independents" who just say that they "don't like labels" to sound smart, but people with actually nuanced views. I'm sure there are exceptions, but they just serve to prove the rule in my opinion. The more I've looked into extreme views on either side, the less sense they've made sense to me. I'm still on the left, especially by American standards, but I've found that when I say that and when others do, we often mean very different things.

I think my favorite quote about all this is something along the lines of, "the day after the revolution, the radical becomes a conservative." I much prefer slow, gradual change that sees every extreme ideology as obstructive to real progress. Ironically, I think we get more done this way. When we have fast, extreme change we become susceptible to all kinds of nonsense, case in point being gender ideology.
