    Hence why “radicalise the populace” is a phrase that makes sense.

    The populace, containing many people who are radicalised and many others who are not radicalised, may become further radicalised by gaining a higher proportion of radicalised people in response to state repression.

    If the populace and the radicals were the same set of people, then there would be no further radicalisation possible.

      I agree with your comments, but I meant mine in an uno reverse kinda way, in that the Iranian government are the dangerous radicals.
