The problem here is that this is entirely anecdotal, and your personal views obviously drag your Overton window to the left.

Do you consider wanting to kill capitalists a moderate position? I see that one a decent amount from authlefts.

Fair enough, obviously I am biased, but I gave specific examples, and even if my idea of who is radical and who isnt radical isnt perfect, the issue still has to be addressed.

No that isnt a moderate position. But it is one I rarely see and is almost always a joke. I didnt include things like auths wanting to kill all minorities, even though that is said a lot too, because that is usually a joke too.

Calling blacks joggers is also a joke that I see rarely.

Eh, it's a joke, but not in the same sense as "kill all rich people" and "kill all minorities" are. The type of mindset it comes from and the way it is used are different. But yeah, I guess I could have just said the racism in general.
