People are generally good whether or not they know one another. Behind extremist violence, any cause, right or left, I'm gambling that a researcher will find politically channeled bipolar sociopaths, people whose self-concept has integrated with a cause to promote their own validation regardless of consequences to others.
I'm finding a few ways of saying about the same thing (blog title: "Facsimile Bipolar Political Sociopathy"). That otherwise more temperate natures may be susceptible to way outsized enthusiasm may have to do with how cultures educate and armor young minds against the sway of pied pipers (and in English-language culture, by first having and installing a "pied piper" concept).

I'm going to try updating this file with remarks pulled from my part of Facebook conversations in which I've alluded to or mentioned the Facsimile Bipolar Political Sociopathy (FBPS) concept. Am I thinking out loud? Yes. Am I trying to make more permanent some set of thoughts that would otherwise disappear in the course of ceaseless web-based thread chatter? That too.
