    I don‘t think so. He says burning down oil refineries would be great and says himself that the other form of protest is bad. I didn‘t position myself about that. He did, and I think he‘s a hypocrite for doing so.

      Radical in my mind is burning down an oil plant. Going after a piece of history is disgusting. At least ruffle the feathers of the people you’re standing up to.

      Radical a: very different from the usual or traditional : extreme

      b: favoring extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions

      c: associated with political views, practices, and policies of extreme change

      d: advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs

      They said burning down an oil plant is radical. Are you thinking of the slang definition of radical? The only call to action is the ruffling of feathers.
