Radicalization
Radicalization is the process by which a person adopts extreme beliefs that may justify violence or reject democratic values.
Memes, the chat with "the boys" and being #that girl may feel harmless, but can influence opinion building and fuel radicalization.
HOW IT SPREADS
Algorithms push what makes you react.
Group chats turn into echo chambers.
Anger and frustration get used as fuel.
Some trends hide hate behind humor.
