I think a lot of people are just not aware enough to realize how easy it is for extremism to fester in a society where people are economically (and morally) depressed

They're "not aware enough" because the education systems, as well as the media, which are controlled and or owned by the people looking to manipulate them, and deliberately ensures that from infancy the population is only given a white washed version of history that serves those in power, so that exactly this can happen.

Which only reinforces OP.

The idea that any of this is accidental, or worse, is some inevitable part of "human nature" is just one more way in which those in power manipulate you in to accepting it as reality.
