What Radicalized You?

This question comes from a conversation I’ve had with my brother numerous times. He’s asked people this, stating, ”I know what radicalized me. Do you know what radicalized you?” It’s an important point, when we live in a society where everything is so extreme, and we’re taught to be reactive against anything “other”. Knowing what radicalized you is about self-reflection and being able to know that you chose the path you were on, vs. having just absorbed all the information that has been given to you without question. An unfathomable amount of money is spent to make us think and feel the way certain parties want us to. Their agenda can become our agenda, even to our own demise, unless we question it and make a conscious decision.

If you haven’t ever thought about it, if you hold an extreme opinion or feeling about something, it can only help to be curious about why.

I look at my own history, and know certain things that were given to me, and how some fit, and some didn’t, and some I outright rejected. My radicalization is deeply tied to the idea of social justice. I can see the points at which I chose this path. My radicalization is full of love, acceptance, and hope.

What is yours full of?

Right now, there is a radical necropolitical agenda being pushed forth. It outright accepts the death of human beings in it’s quest for profit and domination. Would you choose this if you knew you were?
