In my last article, I revealed that I am a former extremist. In fact, if you looked hard enough, you could find an extremist post or two from me. Fortunately, I was not too far gone, and reasonable thinking and this site pulled me back from the far left (and that is my debt to Joeuser).
That brief time of being extremist will probably affect my opinion forever, and I will always feel sympathy for the ones still there. Maybe I can help them, just a little, by showing you what goes on up there.So now, for the first time ever (to my knowledge), I shall reveal the mind of a liberal extremist.
Declassified:The Extremist Files
When I was there, I had no doubt I was right. There was a black and white, but I could not see the gray. I figured that everyone who disagreed was just an idiot blinded by Republicans. I thought people would respond to my 'honesty' and think of me well. It was never that I refused to see the truth, or that I ignored it, I truly could not see it. No matter how many times my views were crushed in debates, I thought I had proven my point. I thought that, no matter what I did, only what I thought was right, could be.
Merely a brief look into the mind. I dont think I will delve much deeper, unless enough people really want to know (which I doubt). The important thing is, do not bring your hatred upon extremists, bring your pity.
It is never that they won't, it's that they can't.
