      If your sense of right and wrong depends on a map or a label, then I don’t think you have principles… you just have a tribe

        Any type of extremism is wrong on both sides and it leads to humanity’s misery. Premises may differ, but the result is always an authoritarian or totalitarian outcome. Regardless of stated goals, extreme ideologies tend to concentrate power and suppress dissent — this is well-supported historically.
