OK then, but who draws the lines on what's extremism?

Do you have to want to overthrow the government? What about just heavily reform it?

What lines on immigration policy would put you under prosecution, Total ban? Muslim Ban? Point system?

I have no support at all for white nationalism but it's insane and counterproductive for big "service-like" companies to be enforcing their own political correctness through bans.

But you do when a private company doesn't want to do business with them? I am sure you will try to generalize this incident as giving fuel to potential future oppression against humanitarians, revolutionists and what not... but that is only relevant if they really do that in practice, and they don't.

AirBnB should define what Law Enforcement should prosecute? I don't think you've followed the context of the previous post.

You are projecting your own thoughts on my previous comment. I honestly had no idea it can interpreted like this ... read it again and if you see any suggestion that I would condone any kind of ban based on religion, gender or skin color I will ban myself from HN.
