So I see this season and the Arkadia Civil War as echoing the current Refugee situation in Syria. You have a bunch of refugees (arkers) most of whom are harmless, innocents. But you also have a few extremists (Pike) and a few that are ripe for radicalization  (Belemy, Jasper).

note, many of the delinquents fit this:

Come from families where a parent  is absent (check) Have difficulty forming relationships  (check) Be attracted to groups offering acceptance and comradeship (checkmate)
