(46,179 posts)93. "extreme"
Some interesting words used here.
"Extreme" is subjective and can be "spun" to suit whatever your point is.
"Isolationist?" I'm not an isolationist. Neither am I a supporter of empire, of world domination, or of neo-liberalism. I'm also not in favor of military solutions.
There are many ways that I would characterize myself politically, and none of them have anything to do with "isolationism." Reading between the lines, I'd predict that "isolationist" is a term revving up to characterize those who are NOT neo-liberals, not war-mongers, or not consumed with delusions of empire.
