I certainly understand your concern, Sannse. Nevertheless, there is a real movement here in the US, working to normalize some pretty hateful and extreme idealogies. Liberapedia, has periodically, been targeted by some who's motivations are only subtly obvious.

My observation of the commonality of the "rightpedia" part of the name moderate-rightpedia, was intended to call out the apologist tendencies of modern American politics. I have to assume the name was deliberately chosen, and though it may seem innocent to you, to those more aware of what's euphamistically called "alt-right" speach, the intent may be obvious. If you're not aware of the ideologies of "Rightpedia" or "Metapedia", or of the "good people on both sides" rhetoric of our current Administration, you may not appreciate the potential problems inherant in attempting to be "fair to all sides". One side attacks and one side defends. The violence, or rhetoric may seem the same on both sides, but the fact remains that one side is attacking, and the other is defending.

Extremist politics really do exist, and the practitioners of extremist politics also exist. Actual professed "White Nationalists" and other extremists and extremist organizations are active here in my region of America, and are actively trying to normalize their beliefs and call the beliefs of their oponents into question. This may take the form of extremist groups traveling to liberal communities and demonstrating and intimidating in an attempt to provoke a violent defensive response (Portland, Oregon, or Charlottesville, Virginia), or it may take a subtler form on the internet of provoking a response and asking you to intervene.

Godwin's Law, while generally true, doesn't really apply in cases of actual extreme ideology is present. In fact, it's a rather unfortunate irony that is exploited by real extremists.
