"Moderates" are usually sheeple-types. Meaning that if it doesn't directly change their day-to-day life in a major way...they just don't care.
Extremists on the other hand, are by definition more likely to really, really be passionate about their bullshit.
And keep in mind that it's all a matter of perspective.
The people we might think of as "extremists" in their viewpoints...probably would consider a bunch of pornographers to be "extremists" from their perspective.
I don't think that the majority of people (moderates) will ever "rise up". The fact that they are "moderate" means they are kinda middle of the road with their personalities. More followers than leaders. That's just the way it is.
