Why is being radical even a bad thing? As long as you're not attacking people for no reason there's nothing wrong with being "radical".
I hate how "radical" has been appropriated into a dirty word (mostly because it's used totally out of context and with false meaning to describe Islamism), same for how people throw around this "I'm not a feminist" thing like being a feminist is so bad. Sure you can debate whether or not men can call themselves "feminist" but men can certainly be pro-women, and that's nothing to be ashamed of.
Anyways you were totally right and he just sounds like an internet nutter.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
