Extremism. Discrimination. Two of the most mis-used words, as both can have positive as well as negative connotations. As used by governments these days, it is supposed to imply wrongness. But hey, I'm extremely patriotic. Does that make me a wrong 'un? I used discrimination when I bought my car, hoping to select a good car I could have confidence in. Does that make me a wrong 'un? Redefining words, especially in the context of law, is one of the tools in the propagandist's tool box, and it's done for political reasons. It's part of the game they play.
