I don't get the hostility. It seemed like a pretty uncontroversial observation to me. Nobody complains about "the left", they complain about "the far left"; nobody complains about "the right", they complain about "the far right". Anybody with two brain cells to rub together can observe this.

I have no idea why this would upset anybody, but it seems like I've triggered some people. Unless you're just bots, in which case: deuces.
