>keep your extremism in checkboth in a rhetorical and a praxis sense, because your opposition is biting at the chomp to characterize you as nothing more than terrorists (because terrorism reduces any ideology to violence, which, as we know, is EQUIVALENT to revolution, i.e. what they want to avoid at
