These are the sort of absurd conclusions people draw when they allow their worldview to be dominated by a single theme. In fact I'd argue all extremism derives from a conception and understanding of the world which bends around a single theme, so that even things which in reality have nothing to do with that theme are assumed to have a connection to it. Look at the ugly era of McCarthyism in 1950's America. McCarthy saw Communists everywhere because he wanted to see Communists everywhere. Were there Soviet style Communists in America? Certainly so. But not to the extent that he believed. Remember: history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
