(John Cleese in 1987!) Maar serieus, we hebben de laatste tijd veel gehoord over extremisme, een onaangenamere, hardere sfeer overal, meer misbruik en lastig gedrag, minder vriendelijkheid, tolerantie en respect voor tegenstanders. Oké, maar wat we nooit horen over extremisme, zijn de VOORDELEN ervan. Goed dan, het grootste voordeel van extremisme: het geeft je een GOED gevoel! Omdat het je VIJANDEN oplevert. Dat zal ik even uitleggen. Het mooie van vijanden hebben is dat je kunt doen alsof al h

John Cleese on extremism: “The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in the whole world is in you." "You can be as nasty as you like and yet feel your behaviour is morally justified.” This video was created two decades before Twitter and Facebook—yet brilliantly explains the psychology of today's extremists who flourish in the age of social media. | Labour Heartlands

Builders on Instagram: "Extremism feels good for all the wrong reasons… Comedian John Cleese nailed something in 1987 that still resonates today: the appeal of extremism isn’t just about beliefs — it’s about feeling righteous. Extremism offers an easy fix: pick a side, get a list of enemies, and suddenly all your anger feels justified. It’s tempting because it simplifies things. Your side is good, the other side is bad — end of story. But that mindset trades understanding for self-righteousness.

John Cleese, the Monty Python legend and steadfast supporter of Ukrainians and Iranians fighting oppression, is always a good boost for the cause! Fact check on southern Zaporizhzhia: Ukraine holds key positions amid brutal attrition and a wide gray zone, especially around Huliaipole. No big breakthroughs either way, but standing firm against Russia’s war machine with tepid Western support is heroic. Give Ukrainians tools like Tomahawks and we can indeed say “hooray!” | Joe Lindsley
