I'm interested in learning. That's why I asked so many questions. (most of which, thus far, have gone unanswered.)

2 forms of the same word. An extremist is one who engages in extremism.

In the same way I think a world without war is the only world fit for humans.
But, what I think is irrelevant because our 3D planet does have wars. And 3D humans kill animals. I don't need to present that side because it's already obvious that people already have that choice. I was sharing my own opinion about what I consider an ideal to aspire to, in the same way that I aspire to peace. If I say, "I envision a world without violence" is that denying people the choice to be violent? No. It's just my vision. Must I also say, "I prefer to not be violent, but you can be violent if you wish." Is that really necessary? Am I am extremist if I don't say that?
If I say, "I invision a world in which animals are no longer tortured and slaughtered" that too is my personal vision and doesn't deny anyone their choice to start wars, kill animals, or whatever else they want to do.
