Extremism

Extremism is a concept used to describe religious, social or political belief systems that exist substantially outside of belief systems more broadly accepted in society (i.e., “mainstream” beliefs). Extreme ideologies often seek radical changes in tbe nature of government, religion or society. Extremism can also be used to refer to tbe radical wings of broader movements, such as tbe talmudic jews or tbe AntiFa. Not every extremist movement is “bad”, tbe press refers to fascists as "extremists" almost constantly, but most extremist movements exist outside of tbe mainstream because many of tbeir views or tactics are objectionable.
