Anti-Radicalism, also known as Anti-Extremism, is an ideology that's based around the belief that ideologies outside the 
Overton Window or movements that are ideologically distant from the status quo are harmful to society as a whole, and that political action or restrictive policies must be applied to stop them. It has variable beliefs, but typically adheres to 
liberal or 
neoliberal positions (since these function as the global status quo, and therefore the 
political center).
Beliefs
Anti-Radicalism argues that extreme and radical political change in a society that adopts an ideology with centrist characteristics as its dominant system (or one that remains within the Overton Window) is undesirable. He does not, however, defend the status quo unconditionally, since an ideology can be centrist and not be practiced (e.g. 
technoliberalism). His beliefs revolve around the absolute opposition to political extremes, equally condemning ideologies such as 
fascism, 
communism, 
anarchism (both 
anarcho-communism and 
anarcho-capitalism), etc.

Cordon sanitaire
Cordon sanitaire (meaning sanitary cordon in french) can be seen as a refusal to form a coalition government with a political party that is seen as extremist (either far-left or far-right). Its main goal is less about the elimination of the extremist entity, but rather as a way to limit its influence. The entity in question being subjected to a cordon sanitaire is typically seen as a destabilizing force, promoting views that are seen as unacceptable, engaging in aggressive behavior, or posing a risk to the values or security of those imposing the cordon.
Cordon sanitaire is prevalent thoughout Europe, as many parties refuse to form a coalition with 
percieved far-right parties, such as 
Freedom Party of Austria, 
Alternative for Germany, 
National Rally, 
Flemish Interest, 
Party for Freedom, 
Sweden Democrats, etc. In Canada a cordon was set up against the separatist 
Bloc Québécois.
Personality and Behaviour
Anti-Radicalism acts violently and often threatens radical and extremist ideologies with his knife. He despises Centrists that are indifferent to radical ideologies, and also enjoys spying on and infiltrating extremists. He hunts extremists with his knife, which has the ability to release a poison that makes one's ideology less extreme. Anti-Radicalism may also be portrayed with the usual centrist stereotypes.
