> Well, extremism is a relative term, depending on environment
Sure, but "hardline extremist" means something in particular, and is not a generic term to refer to any outlying behavior or view.
You can't label someone a "hardline extremist" (with all of the associated connotation that entails) for having reasonable views shared by many millions of others, and then pedal it back with "it's a relative term".
> is you oppose and obstruct highly needed government action
Nobody's obstructing anything, first off, but I absolutely oppose action that's undertaken at gunpoint (or threat of same). There are vastly better ways (from a standpoint of morality, efficiency, and effectiveness) of getting people to act in coordination in their own interests than threatening them with guns and cages, which is the only authority a government has to achieve things.
