I think in both instances you're dealing with people who feel they're not being represented. It's easier to feed people an ideology no matter how it's sold so long as it promises the redress of grievances left unaddressed by the old order. It's like how people talk about how a specific politician will fix everything if we all just vote for that one politician. Or how even my fellow libertarians promise a utopia if we just abolish the government. Obviously, complex problems don't always yield to simple answers. But our minds are tuned to accept simplicity and the ideal over anything that's less than perfect. Perfection is such a sweet delusion to buy into.
