Extremists, as horrible as they are, just exist. The cause doesn't matter. When there's no safety valve they can be rounded up and used for power by demagogues. Similar to a cult, they're full of fear of "the other" and "evil" and they'll undertake any atrocity in the name of their cause, however stupid it is.
Blaming, name calling, dehumanizing, saying things like "they should all be rounded up and killed or sterilized", are hallmarks.
They will throw over their families, they don't have any loved ones or friends, and their entire identity is defined by their adherence to their creed.
In closed system, they always win, until their owners get the power they need, whereupon they'll have their former soldiers executed in favor of a functioning system.
