It is aversion to diversity, but even more so, it is fear and thus a physiological inability to think--left and right hemispheres disconnected. We are all succeptible in times of extreme stress. Fear for our children, fear we experiece when the structures around us collapse, and we need to cling to SOMETHING. Even labour camps prisoners and cult survivors would often still justify their beliefs, because if they wouldn't they'd succumb to utter darkness and mental illness.

Yea, that is a very good point. Fear is used to push ideology and ideas a lot. It is effective.
