I don't mean people with out-there rhetoric. I mean people who disagree with the mainstream consensus on most issues, and will get violent to establish something different. I mean ISIS. I mean Bolsheviks. IJ had some interesting extremist characters, but I never felt that strongly for any of them.

There has to be more too it then showing their dependents (daughters w/ cancer, and so forth). I want them to be standalone likable, but also repugnant to the audience. Is this even possible?
