    If we take the goal for long term stability of a civil society as the normal, then many current economic, civil and environmental policies are very radical.

    Nope, but the capitalist class and their enforcement goons want to paint them that way. Makes it easier to violate their rights.

    Of course. The very phrase “Just Stop Oil” is a radically extremist expression. Stopping oil is making a big change that addresses the root of the problem, i.e. it’s radical. It’s the extremist version of the more moderate “slow down oil a little” approaches that dominate politics.

    the only radical thing a person could be doing right now is ignoring it.

    Wait, what? I knew these people didn’t know what “radical” means — but what on earth do they actually think it does mean?
