“Angry” is a descriptor for those animated by WRONG anger. Those animated by righteous indignation (against ‘islamofascism” and such) are never “angry;” they are (like Hilary Clinton is often depicted) “concerned,” or “worried.”
You are preoccupied with the wrong things, your indignation is not justified, hence you are ‘angry.’

‘Dangerous’ clearly follows from the above because you are swaying your readers towards wrong anger.

On the issue of “far left” and “far right” you are focusing on the wrong words. ‘Lef’t or ‘right’ do not matter, ‘FAR’ does.
The ancient Romans, believing that Rome was the center of the universe, calculated where the geometric center of Rome was and placed a marker there inscribed with “The Navel of the Universe” (Umbilicus Orbi).
No marker has been placed yet in the geometric center of Israel because its borders are still fluid and the neoplastic state is still spreading but ideologically speaking everyone knows, just like Aaronovitch, where the center is, and you are very far from it. It makes no difference if you are far to the left or to the right.
You are an outlier, a dangerous thing to be to any liar.
