> People think they are Rosa Park

Rosa Parks gives us a model for behavior, for bravery in the face of institutionalized injustice. We want as many of her as we can get, because left radical ideas make the world fairer when they become mainstreamed by people like her.

> So instead they look to make issues

No. If you had ever been on the receiving end of what radicals exhibiting bravery actually get as response, you would understand that nobody prefers that kind of abuse.

Yep. I have political opinions also. But I've learned they aren't worth arguing about nor making claims of superiority in most cases.

Incremental changes work. Radicals causing destruction very seldom do. Unless the injustice is manifestly extreme and intolerable enough. And the causes most radicals espouse today, well, speaking of weaksauce.

Good for you. The thing is, it's not a matter of opinion: radical left ideas do, in fact, improve the society and do, in fact, become mainstream.

>Incremental changes work. Radicals causing destruction very seldom do.

The only thing Rosa Parks destroyed was the unchallenged idea that she was rightfully subject to lesser treatment. What she did was not incremental in the slightest, though, so, lame centrist chiding that would have her act "incrementally" is at best meaningless and at worst openly supportive of the unjust status quo of the time.
