One of my first radicalizing experiences was not with government at all, but with church "authority". I learned about how abuse and domestic violence were tolerated, swept under the rug, and sometimes even encouraged by church "leadership", and I learned that calling attention to it only got one attacked and discredited.

It kind of broke me for a while, realizing that the people I'd been told were protectors were either predators themselves or friends with predators (frequently both).
