ELI5 mode

An extremist is a person who advocates for or holds views that are far outside the mainstream, often pushing for radical changes in politics, religion, or social issues with little regard for moderation. In today's polarized world, the term is frequently used in media and debates to highlight potential risks of violence or upheaval, though it can sometimes be applied subjectively to silence dissenters.
