The antidote is –

• The person needs to understand that status quo bias is a thing. What is ‘extremism’? It’s basically just ‘that which differs from the status quo’. If you’re in a certain period of history and you say “gladiatorial games should be outlawed” or “it’s ok to touch dalits”, those are extreme views. We now live in a day and age where “it’s ok to kill 100,000 Palestinians using thirst, hunger, bombs, and disease” is a moderate, centrist view.

• Then the idea that “communism killed 100 million people” or whatever, which is what makes communism seem extremist. A) you can chip away at the truth of it, because it’s not true, but more important is B) there is no alternative which hasn’t killed tens of millions of people. Economic systems kill to protect their existence. The British Empire killed 100 million in just one country (India) in just 40 years (1880 to 1920)

intimated that fascism is just like socialism, “they’re both bad extremes”

No. Calcium carbonate and bioviable sources of calcium are as different as chalk and cheese.

His poems show he pronounced it the Cork way. You’d think you’d get this right before writing a song.
