Describe With Us or Against Us here, or you are my enemy! In a nutshell, it's a form of extremism that does acknowledge that there is a gray area between black and white, but that everything that isn't white still is as bad as black. A Sub-Trope of False Dichotomy. In fiction, a Writer on Board will hammer this point home through the use of Strawman Politicals and Demonization to show that not being on the side of right is bad, no matter what other side you take. The only hope of these people is to turn to the side of right as fast as possible. Examples of With Us or Against Us include:

The only hope of these people is to turn to the side of right as fast as possible. The Knight Templar and The Fundamentalist are characters prone to holding this particular belief due to their belief that they are "right" and the other people are "wrong." Totalitarian regimes love this trope, if your subjects have this mentality they will beg for your protection, thus a common theme in Dystopian fiction. Note, this trope is not about whether any particular side is right or wrong, even the middle side. It's just about the views of people that the only right answer is their side, and nothing else. Truth in Television, as anyone who has gone to a Flame War on a political or religious Message Board can attest. The Other Wiki can attest, too. See also Black and White Insanity and Activist Fundamentalist Antics. Examples of With Us or Against Us include:
