I didn't say that all views on one side or the other were extreme. Or that disengage from the status quo is extreme. I simply said that attaching yourself to a specific ideology (left, right, center, etc) and being unable to take in information from the other sides, tends to lead one towards extremism.
For the record, most of my personal views are haaaaaard left. I just HATE the rhetoric of "anyone entertaining a more-right idea than mine is at worst insane, and at best unable to pick a side."
As I said in another comment, everyone has an ideology, you may just not be aware of it.
And as I said in another comment, in reply to you saying the same thing, you're right, I have ideologies, but I don't hold them as absolute truths.
