Ehhh, I don’t agree with the notion that extremists are bad. The definition of an extremist is ‘A person who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics.’ I don’t think animal rights extremists or environmental extremists are bad because I think the norm is morally reprehensible, unacceptable and unlikely to change without a pushing that norm through extremist measures.

There was a 19th century political party that rose in opposition to the arrival of Irish Catholic immigrants. They had the audacity to call themselves the Native American Party. Also, known as the Know Nothings. They’re the gang that Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) leads in Gangs of New York.

I honestly never knew this. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve seen this photo a bunch of times. Who is this guy? And why is high flipping the bird?
