        I suspect the anger precedes the doctrine. Naturally angry people end up at political extremes, but which is a matter of chance.

        Alternatively, having beliefs that are far from the norm means society tends to make one angry far more often.

        I think there is a misinterpretation of causal arrow. Anger/Fear leads to extreme dogma more than the other way around.

        have you actually met a far left person? Even online? if you mean "by U.S. standards" then you're swallowing the huge US right swing
