An alarmist is one who tries to alarm others, especially by using exaggerations.
In modern usage, such people can fall under the following categories:
- Some bloggers
- Global Warming alarmists
- Certain Left-Wing websites
- Nationalist governments which seek to gain the blind trust of the populist by way of inventing threats to national security. See Nazi and 1984.
- Extremists
