You’re a Far Right Extremist!


No one has specifically said that to me, but that’s only because I have few readers (who don’t respond to my periodic requests for emails) and they use other choice words to respond to my tweets.


Anyway, I saw this video exchange where a Sexual Eccentric asked a Normal person if he believed there were two genders. The Normal guy said yes, and the SE responded by calling him a far right extremist.  The Normal guy then tried to defend himself against charges of being a far right extremist.  That was dumb on part of the normal guy.  By doing that, he was accepting the SE’s terms of the argument.


He should have said that the term “far right extremist” was ill defined and meaningless, and that really the SE was saying he was a bad person.  Having redefined the terms of the debate, he could have put the SE on the defensive.  


You’re the bad person! SE! Stop slurring people!


The left, whatever that means, uses imprecise terminology all the time.  Don’t fall into their verbal traps.
