Like a moment that seemed insignificant and unimportant at the time, but looking back was in fact a pivotal moment in pushing you towards radicalization.

For me probably being introduced to Guitar Hero at my friend's house in like summer 2007. At the time it was just another day, but looking back I ended up falling in love with those games, I ended up being introduced to The Ramones and even more importantly the Dead Kennedys through them, which caused me to get into punk music and resulted in me adopting very critical attitudes towards larger American society, attitudes which later grew into anarchism and then Marxism

Working in the US Healthcare system. Nursing homes specifically. Seeing vast fortunes spent on keeping as many people as miserable as possible for as long as possible really did some psychic damage to me.

Also, one of the worst libertarian Harry potter fanfictions where he is an insuffersble liberal and uses magic to create free helthcare for everyone and puts voldemort into therepy.
