You can’t radicalize a liberal during the worst fucking time to radicalize a liberal. Libs have their hearts in the right place but believe in the system, fascists understand the system is fucked and take the worst possible position in response. Fascists can be converted reasonably quickly but are much easier to convert back. Liberals need you to convince them, and it’ll be slow, and they’ll resist and they’ll probably stay where you leave them.
I don’t want the people more committed to radicalism nearly as much as I want the people more committed to ethics.
I’m afraid not - liberals are perfectly easy to reel back in. The very function of liberalism is to co-opt radical ideas and make them subservient to the status quo - to play the political carrot as opposed to the political stick (the latter being what they keep fascists around for).
I want the people more committed to ethics.
How can you trust people’s ethics when they can be so easily convinced of that which is utterly unethical?

So when is the correct time to radicalise them? When they’re asleep? You know, like they are as long as there’s a lib in the Waffle House?
How can your heart be in the right place if you believe in the status quo?
I said it was easier - not quick.
They can’t be convinced - and that’s not just my opinion.
