Are left-wing social activist protestors motivated by a desire for social change . . .

. . . or are many of them more motivated to make themselves appear morally superior to those on the other side of the issue?

Any type of extremism is linked to psychopathy. But most left-wing social activists aren't extreme, whereas nearly all right-wing activists are.
Extremism is fringe on the Left, but the norm on the Right.
@BohemianBabe The term the authors use for left-wing extremism, "anti-hierarchical aggression," seems like loaded language. They give it a name so, surprise, surprise, they have a term to point it out. Is there even a name for right-wing extremism? What is it called?

At this point, we can just call it the Right.
@BohemianBabe You see my point? Do the authors have a political agenda they're pushing?
@flipper1966 Probably. Extremism as a whole is bad. If someone is singling out left-wing extremism, which barely exists, they're probably a Fash.
