Just like the previous "study" which claimed everybody not part of the corporate media were alt-right.
These types of "research" are funded and run solely for an agenda. Primarily to push social media platforms to direct traffic to corporate media.
Also, radicalized is such an interesting word. If the saudis ran the exact same study with their definition of "radicals", I wonder how that would turn out? What if the chinese or the russians? Are their radicals the same as ours? Also, are the liberal elites' definition of radical the same as conservatives or the general population at large?
At the end of the day, it's all about "authorative" sources - an orwellian and creepy word if there ever was one.

If we want to be consistent, the founding fathers of the United States were radicalized, but that's usually not how people think of them.
