I think the biggest problem is that those two extremes, although tiny minorities, are the most vocal.
Radical Feminist and SJW's incessant cultural Marxism could create havoc on internet infastructure.

There is no middle ground anymore, apparently everyone is extremist in one way or the other, if my voting for Brexit makes me an extremist then i guess i'm an extremist, that term holds absolutely no wight anymore, its been so over used to describe anyone whose politics you don't agree with its turned into a cliché.

To just label those that voted a certain way stupid without actually knowing the reasons why they did simply makes you the stupid one.
I disagree. The middle ground is massive, it's just a silent majority.
Only if you listen to the vocal minority at either end of the spectrum. As @Caracus2k joked earlier, anyone to the left of Genghis Khan is a Marxist, and anyone to the right of Lenin is a Nazi…
That entirely depends on why you voted for Brexit.

The Brexit vote turnout was 72.2%, 52% of those voted out (17.4m People) despite the rampant scare mongering.
This is GD gold, it's as if we've taken all the crap threads and rolled them in to one, we've literally got full house here:
SJWs
Marxism
Racism
Sexism
Positive discrimination
Internet hysteria
All in one! If someone ever asks you what GD is all about, show them this thread
BINGO!
Sure, but simply voting for Brexit doesn't make you an extremist.

Voting to leave the EU doesn't make you an extremist.
Buying in to the narrative the SJW cultural Marxists are taking over the World, kinda does.

I think its trying, very hard, but i don't think it will succeed, it will do a lot of damage before its put down tho.
So no, you're making a bit of a stretched leap there.
right vs left I'm also torn both annoying for their own reasons. I personally think an empty chair would beat Corbyn in a general election so, i don't think op has much to worry about, This doesn't say much for Theresa May mind. Looks like I'm in it for the ride regardless of who is in charge.

The probable result of a general election is both of them being euthanised in order to end their suffering.
labours problem is infighting and not having a sensible achievable goal. Blair took them too far right but people went anyway for the power then there was no one with an ounce of charisma to keep them there when he retired. If only the lib Dems hadn't blown it

You don't think Corbyn, Abbet, McDonnell are unelectable, you think its disagreement with in the party that makes them unelectable, what if they all shut up and backed Corbyn, would that make them electable?
They are not unelectable if they work together I'm not saying it would be the best idea but it would in my opinion be no worse than a JRM or Boris lead government Gove is is a waste of oxygen too.
Andy Burnham and David Milliband are the types of moderates labour needed to get behind. But the unions saw off the latter and a poorly timed leadership election with too many options diluting the larger voterbase stopped burnham getting the vote but he unlike the other squabblers tried at least to get behind Corbyn with no intent of undermining him. I do think Corbyn would have won the GE had labour not attempted that coup d'etat in 2016. But the more the antisemitism stuff and the divides continue the less and less I think moderates will consider risking voting for him over the empty chair.
