Off topic: what radicalised you?
Being called a radical for wanting equality for everyone and justice for the marginalized and disadvantaged. The sociopathic, greedy robber barons and their sycophants are the real radicals.
Most people claim to want to see children succeed.
There are hungry children in many developed countries. This is not treated as an emergency.
Inequality affects children hugely. Education, employment, health (especially mental health). The status quo is preferred, because it benefits a tiny minority of very rich people. Those who shout loudest blame queers, feminists, and immigrants. I grew up in extreme poverty (top 5% of most deprived areas in my country), and a majority of the poor people I live with believe this bullshit to some extent.
Acknowledging this is not being 'radicalised'. It's just being objective. People do not want to make the world better for people.
Nowadays people use radical in political terms as another word for extremist, but it used to mean going to the root causes. Equality and justice, or the lack of, are the root of many political issues. So you are radical in a way, but that is good.

Canadian police proved they can be every bit as vicious, and monstrous as American cops the day, and to this day, not a single meaningful consequence was seen in regards to all the human rights violations committed by police.
They called me un American for not wanting my friends to die in their pointless war.
I'm trans, it was basically the only way to survive.
Other people, and their Insistence that I'm a commie bastard for the most mediocre opinions like "a 40 hour work week should be enough to provide basic housing."
Ive always been vaguely left of center and while I've admittedly not done the reading my general take is "fine if I'm a commie then let's seize the means of production comrade 🤷♂️"
companies being utterly dogshit at the one job they have
