I don't think it's fair to call it "extreme". Small minority in some countries, minority in most and about half of the population in some is imo a fair assessment.
Even in USA it looks more like 70-30 if I am reading the polls correctly.
What does that matter? I would expect us to not care about a small minority doing something everyone else does. Not to actively legislate against their right to do it. If anything, this makes it more extreme.
And when you convince somebody with a lie, and they later find out you were lying, you've probably lost them forever. Not smart.
