You say that because you know what the word means.  All winners. Bigly winners.

The presence of extremists on one side does not necessarily mean that there are extremists on both. The curve does not have to be symmetrical on both sides. You can't apply laws of physics to human behavior.

 

I'm not saying whether or not there are extremists on the left, just saying there doesn't HAVE to be just because there are some on the right. The curve could look something like below (with "the left" beind from 0-1 and "the right" being from 1-7 and the right extremists being the ~5-7 range). Or it could be even more wonky. It is human behavior so it could be as crazy as it wants to be.

 

I disagree. Looking at it from a purely technical perspective, it would have to be equal. Now, that's not the same as saying that both sides are equally as extreme(although I personally believe they are, there's nothing stopping one from making an argument that the extremists on one side are worse than the others). However, there has to be an equal distribution, even if it's on a relative basis.

If VJ is anything to go by it is back to front.

from a technical perspective all things are equal? but not that all things are equal on an equal extremist scale as I believe they aren't.  ? dude.

You're starting to get the hang of it but you're not quite there yet.

We cannot argue about the shape of the curve unless you can agree on the measurements and scales used on the Y axis. Hell we cannot even agree on what we are measuring. The laws of physics do not apply in sociology.
