I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.

    I guess you could define radicalization like that, but I’d define it as taking regular Joe with no hate and you know radicalizing them.

    Radicalization (or radicalisation) is the process by which an individual or a group comes to adopt increasingly radical views in opposition to a political, social, or religious status quo.

    Yeah I think there’s a difference between radicalization and mask off.

        Adopting is the key word actually. Mask off is revealing it.

          There is no one key word. They all kind of intermingle to explain the whole idea. Picking and choosing which word you feel most comfortably explains your own opinion doesn’t make it right.
