"But there is also another kind, the destroyer. They are a variant of the desire to have power. While some want power to create something that exalts them, others find the fulfillment of power by destroying everything. There can be nothing over them and in this way they give themselves over to their desires at the expense of all others. Yet lacking the courage to truly destroy all else they will focus on a select group or sub-group, be they social, political, racial, sexual, or otherwise identifiable, separate from and weaker than them. It is on this group that they will focus all of thier destructive energy, creating nothing. Lacking any restraint they will co-opt others into 'the group' and turn them against 'the other group' and proceed to display all the characteristics of sociopathic and psychopathic behaviour. Attempting to reason with them is useless. it is important to keep in mind that some individuals will not be satisfied with the common desires of humanity, instead they seek to enslave, to devour, to destroy."
