Some people just have a "My way or the highway" attitude, and if you don't see things their way, it's the firing squad for you!

Don't love the "Dear Leader?" BOOOOOM. Aren't a fervent adherent to the (Ba'ath Party/Communist Party/U-Name-It Party) group that a particular government touts? BOOOOM.

People who have power or who seek to intimidate through fear do this kind of shit.

They can't "live and let live."
