You're political views aren't radical, it only seems that way because they're not the status quo. There was a time when democracy was considered "radical" and people committed acts of terrorism in the name of it.

Go outside, seriously. I promise you anon, the best antidote is to be outdoors, as well as (safely) interact with real people. Get out of echochamber websites, social media, everything.

If anything books make me move towards social individualism and controlled economics. People are stupid, I don’t want to share my money with them so let a state manage their wealth. But don’t fuck with my way of living, I can manage my own money and if I want to spend it on books and drugs while still being able to pay my bills then it shouldn’t bother anyone.

What history have you been reading if you buy into the post-modernist extreme left "capitalism bad" memes?

If anything a history book should be an anti-dote to that. Read about Eastern Europe, the cold war, the post WWII world order etc.

You're not radicalizing or even becoming left-wing. You're turning into a core neoliberal. You should go for politics. You are exactly the kind of person the establishment will push forward to masquerade as opposition.

Mankiw micro, macro and principles of econ to get a basic overview of the other side of the coin. That's about the only thing you can do to challenge your view, assuming you're economically left.
If you wanna be a liberal and a nationalist at the same time, try Yael Tamir with "Why nationalism" and "Liberal nationalism".
As for socially right, idk man, try Carl Schmitt or some shit like that.

How? Are you just reading leftist theory? If you read at all, especially the classics, it should be having the opposite effect. Unless you were schizoid levels of right wing before this the farthest left you should go is some warhawk centrist stuff.

A lot of people agree with the last thing they read and get ideologically flung about because they can't think for themselves or argue against what they're reading. This is especially true of young people with a penchant for extreme ideologies, they just ping-pong.

Yeah it happens a lot. I always think that two 15 year old arguing on the internet, one as a communist and one as fascist could have the same argument at 16 but each in each other's shoes without ever realizing because they both swapped positions.

Polemical texts can be very persuasive, especially if you haven't been taught how to critically think for yourself at a young age.
