"Radical" just means "outside the status quo". "Extremist" is more the term you want there.

    Radical has a customary meaning in this context - someone calling for systemic change

    That is a better way of putting it, thanks. Not just outside the status quo but pushing to change it. I still think it carries a milder connotation than neo-Nazis or Anarchists and different language should be used for the fringe than just further-than-mainstream politics.

    if we're talking extremists we're talking our boy the unambomber, and uh, the people that bombed abortion clinics, maybe.

    I dont actually have a good second handle for extremists on the right lol. I guess hate criming nazis? That kind of shit.
