Hmmm. Do you always disambiguate word meanings by first taking them out of context and then applying some textbook definition you like?
I clearly meant this: https://www.jstor.org/stable/43783789
Even people writing papers on this use this word to mean that in this context.
I'm not denying other meanings exist. I'm just saying that you're kinda being a jerk to get UMMM-ACTUALLYYY smart-points. In your head. They are only in your head my dude.
And? There are people "writing papers" that still think the USSR was "socialist" or that the US is "democratic."
Political concepts have meaning, genius - that meaning doesn't change just because said meaning upsets the feels of liberals such as yourself, okay?
And what? Radicalization can mean different things in context. What do you think was the context when talking about this violence cycle? Could it have been like that example from that paper, a widely used definition by both academics and non academics?
Oh really? So why do liberals peddling their bootlicker ideology in mainstream media choose to only use the term in that specific context, hmm?
You never find fascists self-applying the terms "radical" or "radicalized"... that's something only leftists do. Yet you liberals constantly ignore that context, don't you?
Why is that, liberal?
I'm not a Liberal...
Then stop talking like one.
But I am not talking like one 😎
There are only three kinds of politics, liberal - reactionary, reformist, and radical.
Choose well.
Choose what?
