Far right and left powers are an immune response, the problem is both are fairly confused, I think. But I also think they have a role to play, almost like bartering in a street market.

If you demand, like some on twitter, to expel everyone with a single drop of non-white blood, then you pull the opponents further in that direction without actually going to that extreme, making, for example, foreign criminal deportation more open for discussion (this is exactly what has happened in recent months in the UK).

Similarly if you demand all billionaires to go to prison, or all politicians advocating war to go to the front lines themselves, neither will ever occur, but you very quickly hear them say 'hey hold on a minute, perhaps we can work something out'.

I think that maybe, without those outer-edge forces pushing the centre, nothing will ever get done. It's just a very dangerous game we've gotten ourselves into...
