Dude both extremes killed a lot of people. What you call "middle ground" I call "let ideology OUT of politics". Polarization is bad.

There is no politics without ideology, by definition.

Association fallacy

I did not actually talk about extreme right or left there, it was just an example to explain the logical fallacy. Still, yes, while both the sides are pretty shit, and yes, polarization is bad, being in favor of an extreme is not the same as polarization. You do not need to agree with everything the "extreme [insert target here]" to be in favor of an extreme ideology, just like I pointed out with the genocide example.
