The Vikings. Vikings were some bad hombres with bad intentions. They raided villages and countries with the sole purpose of raping and pillaging. They liked women, and they liked silver, and they took whatever they liked.
In more modern times...
HAMAS has the stated goal of the destruction of Israel. ISIS has the stated goal of a global Caliphate and the death of all infidels.
If you remember the fighting in Rwanda... that was all about ethnic cleansing. There are many such examples.
Put yourself in the shoes of all of these violent people. Can you not conceive of the "good intention" that may have driven them? Be it pleasing the gods, jihad, even "cleansing" has the (albeit bull****) notion of a cleaning with survival at its heart.
Not saying I agree, but I'm saying I can spin it.
