Funny, I guess by his definition, I'm an extremist on the left.

It is a funny sermon for sure, but it is clear the sides are not even close to equal.

The left railing against institutionalized sexism and racism using the power of demonstration to prove their point.

The right railing against people they judge as wrong using institutional violence to harass, harm, and murder them.

I love John Cleese, to be sure. But 80s Cleese was a different guy from today's version. I would imagine he's closer to the extremists on the left today than he was back then.

One thing's for sure: fuck Moderates.
