welp, thats about the dumbest shit I've heard in a while. Your science is outdated as we now know that not all free radicals are bad. We figured that out over a decade ago now. You also know damn well that the opposite of conservatism is not radical either. Have you not heard of radical conservatism? And using radicals and free radicals...how does that analogy work at all other than using radical as a homonym.

disproven scientific theories will serve just as well as the state of the art theories when it comes to using them as an analogy. i could use the flat earth theory to explain a concept without implying i believe in a flat earth etc. you missed my core point. :-)

radical conservatism

not really. radicals are usually associated with liberals and of course with the far left/right, that is - with the commies and fascists. but i can imagine there is such a thing on the political spectrum. which party would you label as radical conservatives today?

Far left, according to French Revolution standards were either the republicans and freedom lovers who wished to destroy the monarchy or the Jacobins; and Levvellers during Cromwells time. They had views but were different from the communist leftists today, but leaning left DOES NOT mean you are a communist or a radical. THe Bolsheviks leaned left but right on other issues. The Alt-right today is a Zio-op co-opted by Zionists and National Duginist Bolsheviks who have fascist and collectivist tendencies.

thank you for the examples! well then. 'radical conservatives' can f.o. all of them. :-)

i just don't want anything radical at all, it seems.

You can even make the case that Jesus was a radical when it came to the oral traditions of the elders and a conservative. History changes definitions.

Are you a christan? Are you a traditionalist conservative. They are probably of the least radical of viewpoints. Yeah, I'm done with spellcheck, but I probably should put it back on because I never re-read what I write. Yes, the levellers are a interesting bunch. There are few books on them.
