You're confusing "extremism" with "violence." Pacifism is extremist.

No, Pacificm is not always Extremist.

The Green party of Germany is Pacifist.

But they also have been the loudest about rearming the German Bundeswehr in face of Russian Aggression since 2008. I cite their defence speaker from 2010: "Peace is worth fighting for".

Pacifism is an extremist position. Everyone wants to avoid violence, but pacifism is extremist.

You're combining radical, extreme views with violence for no reason other than to lie about having a point. Enlightened Centrism at its peak.
