Usually dualistic view does not allow any variation, ending up as you're either with us or against us, you are or aren't, and so on. Often with the other extreme seen as better or more acceptable than the other and the other as bad or evil, something to be fought simply because it exists. A very black and white perception of anything, and cause for much grief for those who would rather not choose sides. And those who don't choose are said to be sitting on the fence, which is sometimes seen almost worse than choosing the opposite side of the conflict.
The only good side of dualism is that it gives you clear picture of things, even if heavily skewed.
