I kind of want to say that this is true almost by definition, depending on what views you're determining to be on the extremes of the left and right wing. A lot of extreme right wing ideology is informed by stuff that clearly belongs in the crazy conspiracy theory bucket, and on the left fringe you have a ton of weird pseudo-science bullshit and a different set of conspiracy theories surrounding it. You can't really occupy either space without at least some willingness to ignore reality.

Yeah, the direction that this thread has gone in is a little bit odd. I assumed the OP was using "extreme" to refer to fringe positions that are strongly divorced from reality, not just people with positions that fall outside of mainstream political discourse. You can believe in things that are bad or evil or just unpopular without it being indicative of anything deeper.
