I find your article's critique of far-left cultural radicalism particularly resonant. The notion that such radicalism can inadvertently harm the very minorities it purports to support is not only troubling but fundamentally counterproductive. In my view, this underscores a critical flaw in the approach: when activism becomes so zealous that it alienates potential allies and exacerbates societal divisions, it loses its effectiveness and can even pave the way for reactionary movements.

As such, your mention of fascist and fascist-adjacent movements gaining popularity as a reaction to rapid deconstruction of traditional norms is a stark reminder of the delicate balance between advocating for change and maintaining social cohesion.
