Radicalism of any kind tends to do that. You either die young or live long enough to become what you hate.

Its been well documented in and out of fiction.

What happens is the individual identity slowly degrades due to obsessions with others. Moby ♥♥♥♥ was a great book which described this, which was later confirmed by some of Carl Jung's later work into the nature of the shadow persona. Friedrich Nietzsche also had cryptic cautions about 'staring into the abyss' for too long which touched on this.

Just observe how Antifa have always behaved like the 'nazis' they claim to hate, while at the same time are never really able to prove their enemies of any genuine tyranny or fascism.

They themselves retain a secret police for doxxing people and for censorship, however.

When it comes to science, it is ignored. When it comes to civility, it is ignored. When it comes to irony, 'what irony maann... That's just your opinion.'

Like a broken bloody record. That's all that matters to them in the end.

Opinion.
Ego.
Narcissism.

The glue for all lunatic fundamentalists.

At this point, the individual has killed their spiritual sovereignty for the sake of the opinions of an uncaring mob.

Many of them do have ties to religious fundamentalism and the far right, so it aint all that surprising.

yeah, terfs

it's more so that they are conservative, whether they realize or not, and end up covering their conservatism with a woke coat of paint

People become what they hate by trying to over compensate and don't realise until it's too late.

What is kind and empathetic about supporting people invading your country to increase crime rates and bankrupt the place? How much blood is on the hands of people who think they are being kind?

they're so empathetic they blame the victims

People go to extremes all the time. They don't like their parents, perhaps for legit reasons, perhaps not, so they go to the other extreme. The problem with extreme, either way you go, it also comes with consequences. Once a person experiences the consequences, then they start rethinking their choices and where to go from there.

Essentially, there's a paradigm shift when a person has more experience and realizes life isn't as simple as and they only thought they had it all figured out.

Because they realized nothing good comes out of it.

Terfs aren't conservative, they still believe every liberal stance imaginable. They just don't believe that putting on a dress, taking HRT, or changing your pronouns on blusky makes you a woman. It's actually kind of funny though. Feminists handed themselves the biggest L in history when they initially backed the trans movement. Now men can call themselves women and get better treatment then actual women. You get what you tolerate as the saying goes.

They're basically the same. They'e both puritanical, loud, annoying, self righteous and love censorship.

Is it true that some radical feminists accidentally become the conservatives of yesteryear in their censorship attempts?

There's no such thing as "radical feminism," just feminism. People who are supposedly "radical feminists" are plants or useful idiots of the Far Right to undermine actual feminism. This is an old psy-ops playbook, like when media and politicians in the 1960s deliberately amplified the voices of angry, militant fringe groups to undermine the more mainstream Civil Rights movement.

ah, yes
liberal stances such as biological essentialism, or the idea that women are inherently inferior to men, or the reduction of womanhood to being a child factory
or, well, overall treating a lot of things that have a heavy social component as universal constants
