The fundamental values don’t often change, but if you alienate people enough they will shift their activities to supporting a different cause they care about, or give up and tune out entirely. It’s self-defeating. You can’t win with radicals alone.

I'm not saying you can, I'm saying if any radicalism is met with knee-jerk rejection of the cause, then you never really held these values.
Most social progress has been made because of radicalism not in spite of.
