While we have fun with words like radicalized, it's important to remember that it's liberal terminology, designed more to obfuscate and deride than to accuratelt describe. Like "terrorist", is mainly functions as a thought terminating cliche, a stereotype that provides an easy excuse not to engage with what someone actually wants and why they actually want it. Because if you look at it in those terms, it becomes clear who's actually doing the bulk of the terrorizing to who. So liberals have to abstract everything away into neat little mental categories to avoid dealing with this reality. But they're the ones who want to kill people, stick their heads in the ground and burn the world, while we're the ones who want to save it. They're the radical terrorists by any honest accounting, and the way they talk about the "radicalization" of people turning away from liberalism is as if they're talking about the Rage virus. "Oh Bill got radicalized, we had to put him down." When in reality, in the zombie metaphor, those of us born comfortable in the core are mostly all molded into zombies by default, and sometimes we get lucky enough to be helped into sentience by patient living people.

But anyway, if we put aside the specific liberal terminology, a more neutral description of your "rapidly becoming radicalized" might sound something like "was able to get to the root of the omnicrisis very quickly once given the tools." It's not something that happened to you, it's something you figured out.
