Radical (definition by Mikaela Loach, in her book, It’s Not that Radical, p.129-130) says:
“I am often framed as ‘the radical’ as a way to invalidate what I’m actually saying. Is the desire to create a safer, better world for all of us really that ‘radical’? There is a never-ending debate going on in my head: am I too radical or not radical enough?
“Its true meaning is simply going to the root of an issue - to tackle it from where it came from. However, in the mainstream, it’s often used as an insult, as if ‘radical’ is synonymous with absurd, ridiculous, destructive or outrageous.”
(She goes on to define all those words.)
“We really need to reframe what is and what is not ridiculous or outrageous. When we have been living in a system for so long, those calling for change are often painted as harmful, rather than those who work to continue the world as it currently is.“
