Radical Left
Larry Nemecek (@larrynemecek) on X · March 4, 2026
“Radical” is a relative descriptor. One man's radical is another man's Washington.
When politics becomes a contest over who is “extreme” and who is “reasonable,” both sides end up telling the same story about themselves.

MOVE, Antifa, ALF, ELF exist. There are leftist examples of “denying science” and “discussing election results”; “Not my president.”
Extremism is not exclusive to one side. Political discourse framed as a binary; “radical” vs “reasonable” weaponizes labels and compresses perception.
Absolutes obscure the spectrum of behavior and rhetoric that actually exists.
Responsibility is simple: call out truth, not comfort.
