“Radicalized”= against facism
I really have no idea what "radicalized" means anymore.
It's a word that media pundits and hype barkers use to point blame at segments of the population or to push accountability on some group or another.
Is not wanting to date because it's too confusing to navigate corporate-sabotaged social standards "radical?"
Is being politically aware of issues "radical?"
Is raising complaints about serious social problems like wage theft and wealth inequality "radical?"
These are just things "older people don't want to hear because they know it's their fault things are like this."
Radicalized just means "stop making your parents feel uncomfortable with their selfish choices."
The right uses radicalized to mean that someone is against the status quo and/or fascism. The left uses radicalized to mean that someone is a literal Nazi and/or terrorist. The center uses radicalized to mean far right or center left
I keep hearing center left, but that liberal nightmare is more of a center right party
Hence why center left is "radical" to them, it's equidistant
far right - right - center right - center - center left - left - far left
