It is hard to be a radical anything because you have to develop a thick skin against criticism and at times you have to sacrifice personal principle to support the radical measures. Most radicals find themselves toe to toe with radicals from an opposing camp, supported by people from their own world view to take their best shot. It must seem like you are on the crest of a wave the whole world is following, sometimes, but the whole world also sometimes comments on the clownish gruesomeness of it all. I’ve known religious/political/lifestyle radicals and I generally advise against it personally. I've not known any who could sum the radical activities up as kind and generous, except maybe through some sort of rationalization.... Allah's will, Crusade for Christ, Save the Planet, tipping the playing field for social justice...etc
