The Girlfriend 92 Posted January 22 Recognizing signs of radicalization is a crucial step in understanding how your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors may have shifted in extreme or harmful ways. Here are some signs that may indicate you’ve been radicalized: 1. Us vs. Them Thinking • Viewing the world in binary terms, such as “good vs. evil” or “us vs. them.” • Believing that people outside your group are inherently wrong, dangerous, or inferior. 2. Isolation from Diverse Perspectives • Cutting ties with friends, family, or communities that challenge your beliefs. • Relying solely on echo chambers (online or offline) that reinforce your views. 3. Justifying Violence or Extreme Measures • Supporting or excusing acts of violence or aggression as a means to achieve goals. • Believing that ends justify any means, including harm to others. 4. Distrust of Mainstream Sources • Rejecting credible information or institutions (e.g., media, science, or government) as inherently biased or corrupt. • Only trusting sources that align with your worldview. 5. Obsession with a Cause • Becoming overly fixated on a single issue, ideology, or group to the detriment of other aspects of life. • Spending excessive time consuming content related to the cause or engaging in related activities. 6. Dehumanizing Others • Viewing certain groups of people as less deserving of rights, dignity, or compassion. • Using derogatory language to describe others based on their race, religion, politics, or identity. 7. Feeling a Sense of Moral Superiority • Believing you have access to the “truth” that others lack. • Seeing yourself as part of a righteous mission that justifies extreme behavior. 8. Rejecting Compromise or Nuance • Refusing to consider alternative perspectives or middle ground. • Adopting rigid, black-and-white thinking about complex issues. 9. Sudden Changes in Behavior or Beliefs • Adopting a new ideology or belief system quickly and with extreme fervor. • Changing your lifestyle or appearance to align with a specific group or cause. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything on that list was screaming liberal until the point about MSM which is a maga thing but to be fair, as we all know, most MSM is heavily or outright liberal so it’s hard to know how liberals would act if it was the other way around. and continuing on, almost all of them scream liberal… aside from maybe 6 but 6 plays right into 5 which is very lib. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loneliness has not only set in on that guy's life, it has completely overtaken his mind. He should just start a thread where his aliases could all just have an orgy with himself. Where he can keep it all to himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
