My existence itself is actually the reason for my own fathers radicalization. He was pretty leftist when he had me, but he has been growing steadily more right since I came into the world and it was largely because he realized that American society was hostile towards me for existing. He's still economically a socialist, but on any cultural or social issue he's about as far right as I am. Granted, he wasn't a typical leftist in his youth. He's always been well read, and more than a bit of a radical. He was more the "burn it all down and line up the politicians to be shot" type of leftist, he's still the same (burn it down and line up the politicians to be shot) but more of a blackshirt than a bolshevik.
Everyone in my family is a radical though. There are no moderates. My grandfather is a living version of Thomas Paine who believes that the government should be annihilated and a radical classical liberal enlightenment era government should be put in its place. The only thing stopping him from being equal to robespierre is his religion. He absolutely idolizes the American revolution and (most of) the French one. He is not a lolbert, he fully comprehends everything he talks about and 100% believes it, he is probably the most enlightened person on enlightenment (lol) politics on the planet. You can't debate him on John Locke, Voltaire, or Rousseau because chances are he knows 10x more than you do.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
