The extreme messaging mobilizes a certain demographic while isolating another. The more moderate messaging has the same inverse effect. Neither will agree on where we sit on a spectrum escalating toward its logical end point, an established totalitarian state. It's a sense of urgency issue really. Certain demographics feel the effects of these escalating policies before others, so will take a more extreme opposition to them earlier than others.
They key is in uniting thE demographical divide, and this cannot be done through unified messaging. Trying to do so is a quagmire not worth the effort.
It is my belief that the more moderate block should realise that there are pros and cons to the more radical block, being those calling the current state of things Nazism.
Firstly, people who believe they are fighting Nazis are highly motivated, turn up to protests, and have high morale. This extreme group should be treated as an isolated core, which the moderate group works around and in a de facto relationship with.
The protests in my city of Melbourne would never have happened without a radical core group that Believed depopulation is going on,. They were prepared to kick start things when there were only a hundred of them or so. But as time went on, moderates like myself, who are more shy towards political action, built up around them, so that the movement grew to a mostly moderate group around a core radical group. Kind of like a protecting layer the cops can't penetrate without public outcry, because the moderates are peaceful. And I may only speak for myself, but I value the leverage the threat of radicals provides. Because if the movement was purely meek moderates, the protests would be easily broken up, as the police would exploit this.
Now, I think it is unfair, as a moderate who joined a protest movement stated by radicals, to call for their exclusion from the platform. But beyond that, I think they are a necessity to ensuring the state understands people are so against these things, that moderates will support radical groups against them. This is what they really fear. The states authority rests on the support on moderates. Same situation in the middle east. Alot of the population support the radical groups so the western occupying forces will fuck off. And when the western forces do, the radicals realise they don't actually have that much real support either.
