Radicalized from Digital Carnival by Jason Didner

You weren't always like this
You had an open mind
Now you're full of hateful theories
From the groups you joined online

I used to understand you
Before you got rewired
Before the zealots changed you
And stoked that raging fire

You got radicalized
Radicalized
Can't you see humanity
In folks with whom you don't agree?
Wake up and see the common ground
We walk upon, just look around

You complained about your love live
When you joined in the Incels
Involuntary celibates
Now you've got a new place to dwell

I know it can be tempting
I see there's an allure
They give you easy answers
Why you're sad and insecure

You got radicalized
Radicalized
Can't you see humanity
In folks with whom you don't agree?
Wake up and see the common ground
We walk upon, just look around

It’s not our blood that’s poisoned
Just your mind
I want to help you
Leave this behind
