You can always say the far left and far right are not mainstream if they were they wouldn't be labelled far...


That used to be true. Now, though, it seems that the left is labeling many things as "far right" that are not, and the right is doing the same to the left. Both are trying to shift the Overton Window their way by labeling the other side as "extreme" or "far" - that is, outside the window.

I can win a lot of arguments if I define myself as the only one who should be allowed to speak...
