Competing ideologies don't necessarily have to lead to violence and destruction. Unfortunately, it has throughout history.

There is Religious_Violence and there is also Video Game violence. But most people try not to go overboard with violence and barbarism.

https://medium.com/conversations-with-brigette/a-history-of-violence-165243f106f5 

This world could easily become like an extremely violent and barbaric place. Imagine a super VR video game that's like a combination of Mad_Max, The_Purge Films and Grand_Theft_Auto. Some people might want to emulate all the game violence in the "real world".

Woman killed a man in a random Times Square stabbing  https://abc7ny.com/post/times-square-shooting-person-shot-police/19771286/

However, had this armed attacker not been stopped by police, they could have continued on with their stabbing rampage.
