The therapeutic community seems to agree that most of these ideological extremists will unlikely ever get their act together. What does that mean concerning the practical side of things? Iíve personally concluded that we must do our best to marginalize these afflicted people. They are a danger both to themselves—and the rest of us.
One could debate with a Michael Moore or Noam Chomsky until they are blue in the face. The odds are that neither gentleman will be persuaded by rational argumentation. They are similar to lunatics howling at a full moon. We therefore should not treat them as rationally thinking adults, but like small children playing with dangerous objects. How do we morally and legally delegitimize their power and influence? This is the central question of our era.
I wonder, could the problem be a lack of vrility?

I have yet to see a psychological explanation for these folks that sounds even close. It would seem that many of these people are psychologically reasonably normal but captured by a cult – one to which their culture and religion made them more susceptible. Humans are social animals, and in spite of old style analyses which focus on childhood environment (and are cultish themselves), many adults are dramatically altered by various experiences, charismatic leaders, and powerful ideas?
After all, how many relatively healthy adults in the US believe in pyramid power or other new age nonsense? How many, given the upbringing that European multiculturalism gives, who meet the true predators and psychopaths, could be converted into martyrs or murderers?
