    Radical politics denotes the intent to transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society or political system, often through social change, structural change, revolution or radical reform.[1] The process of adopting radical views is termed radicalisation.

    The word radical derives from the Latin radix (“root”) and Late Latin rādīcālis (“of or pertaining to the root, radical”). Historically, political use of the term referred exclusively to a form of progressive electoral reformism, known as Radicalism, that had developed in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. **However, the denotation has changed since its 18th century coinage to comprehend the entire political spectrum, **though retaining the connotation of “change at the root”.[1]

    Seems like the word fits for his politics.

      Did you actually read any of that before you posted it, lib?

      Read this part here real slow like.

      Radical politics denotes the intent to transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society

      Pray tell… show me a white supremacist that wants to transform or replace white supremacism?

      Should be pretty easy for a big-brained liberal like you to accomplish, shouldn’t it?

      Seems like the word fits for his politics.

      So again… why is something so decidedly simple proving so damn difficult for liberals to understand?

        If you believe that white supremacy is a fundamental principle of society then I suppose that yes, such a person would not have been “radicalized” from that perspective.

          If you believe that white supremacy is a fundamental principle of society

          And wtf did you think white supremacism is, genius? What did you think makes (so-called) “western civilization” western?

          “Western” civilization is fundamentally white supremacist and always has been. What the hell did you think these white supremacists are trying to protect?

          People are quick to paint the far-right as insane or stupid - but, in truth, they are far less naive about the world they exist in than their just-plain-right liberal cousins.

              I just love how libs show their true right-wing colors as soon as you start poking holes in their holy cows.

              Do tell, lib… did you also not know what the term “western” is a dog-whistle for?

                It’s just so sad watching you try to put together a full thought. It just sort of sounds like fart noises and diarrhea plopping out of your mouth.

                Hey - if I stop by do you think your wifesistermother would give me a handy? It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for your family tree to get some new blood after this many generations. Does she have more fingers than teeth? If so, maybe we can get into the weird shit.

                  so that’s either a “no” or a “I know but pretend not to.”

                  So all that is left to discern now is what kind of white supremacist you are.
