Let's test this. First, let's ask the question: What is extremity?
Is human slavery extremity?
Is starvation extremity? How about war? Is that extremity?
How was the 'extremity' of human slavery 'balanced?' By sitting back and doing nothing? Or were there human activists who helped those black people find freedom and liberation? Were their actions 'extremist'?
How about this? Would you said it's extremity?

Please do watch the whole trailer before deciding on an answer.
Extremity alone isn't balanced. However, extremity may need an equal amount of opposing energy to balance it. As in math, -100 + +100 = 0 (balance). The greater the negative, the greater the positive is needed. +100 won't balance out -10000; it will take +10000 to do that.
Extremity results in further extremity only when it's the same nature. ie. -1000 + -1000 is adding extremity to extremity, of the same nature (both negative).
People often talk about 'balance' here on this forum. But if one is going to talk about balance, perhaps they could look at the big picture. Of course a single 'extremist' action isn't balanced. It must be balanced with its counterpart.
What, then, pray tell, is the balancing mechanism for THIS extremity:
