"It took me about 2-3 years to become fully radicalized"

I think that we saying how adopting healthy common sense nationalist views means becoming "radicalized" is not good, we shouldn't fall into this leftist framing, instead ex lefties/liberals should say they got deradicalized.

Radical means going to the root of the problem. It's an appropriate term.

There's nothing wrong with being radical. Be a man and have convictions.

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.
