Those Extremist

Wew, my article since August.

If you find someone that has the following characteristics, you can consider him/her as extremist.

  1. Character assassination
  2. Name calling and labeling
  3. Irresponsible sweeping generalizations
  4. Inadequate proof for assertions
  5. Advocacy of double standards
  6. View of opponents and critics as essentially evil
  7. Manichean (bipolar) world view
  8. Advocate some degree of censorship and repression of their opponents and critics
  9. Identify themselves in terms of who their enemies are
  10. Tendency toward arguments by intimidation
  11. Widely use slogans, buzzwords and thought-terminating clichés
  12. Claim some kind of moral or other superiority over others
  13. Doomsday thinking
  14. Tendency to believe that it is justified to do bad things in the service of a supposedly "good" cause
  15. Emphasis on emotional response, as opposed to reasoning and logical analysis
  16. Hypersensitivity and vigilance
  17. May claim some kind of supernatural, mystical or divinely-inspired rationale for their beliefs and actions
  18. Inability to tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty
  19. Groupthink
  20. Personalization of hostility
  21. Assumption that the system is defective if they don’t win

So then what to do?
If you consider yourself a moderate, well, stay away from them.
If you are one of them, well, fuck you emoticon
