The belief that the country is on a downward slope fuels the appeal of radicalism.

    I can hear this in Trump’s voice. And those people aren’t even radical. But still, painting radicalism as fundamentally bad and illegal and whatnot is muuuuch older than that.

      Nope. We need radical thinkers more than ever. The crazy sheep following the orange turd think they are that. They are not.

        Radical by itself means nothing, you always need to give concrete examples alongside. e.g. creating a state company that employs people to build public housing. That is not radical, but we need people who think that…even if fascists and corpos will call that radical in comparison with their own dogmas…I’m not sure how to use the word at this point, you always create a muddle.
