To be renamed: "An extremist and a moderate walk into a bar..."
Once again illustrating the point that the opposite of one extreme isn't the other extreme, but the moderate center.
The antipodes of politics talk in terms that make sense to each other precisely because, at either pole, it is dark for six months out of the year. It doesn't matter so much which six months, because the experience of being in the dark half the time is the same.
If anyone really really wants to see what's up here, read Berman's book, Terror and Liberalism. One may notice that our Beloved Leader doesn't come out of it smelling too good, either.
