I think it's viral redirection of human territorial instincts. Can't let the other tribe seem like they're gaining ground or encroaching on yours. This is one of the most emotionally powerful behavior drivers in apes. Chimpanzees are driven to guard their territory relentlessly when another tribe invades, thats how people draw such infinite energy for political raging. We try to govern our behavior with logic for the good of society but it's hard to compete with instinctive programmed emotions.

Before I say anything else, can you just see the irony here by itself?
"Extremists are the kind of people who dehumanize large swathes of people by making sweeping statements about them and their behavior! Unlike those freaks, I would never do anything like that!"
The problem centrists experience is that by defending a generic status quo they imagine they don't really have political opinions, but they do. Centrists treat extremists the way that they imagine extremists treat each other, but then conclude that only the extremists are wrong to do that.
The people that "want other people to be nicer to each other", on the other hand, are just kind of dumb. What does "nicer" mean in politics? Do you care about actions, or just words?

Would you say you're willing to compromise on this statement, or perhaps admit that you might be wrong? Would you say you're angry about this conversation?

"They're barely even human."

I disagreed with you on a completely abstract point - not even a real political issue, just a vague comparison of the center vs the extremes - and you're already treating me like a hostile opponent. The way you are talking to me right now is literally the way that you characterize extremists as treating people. Look at what you have written and tell me honestly that you think it sounds civil.
