I think there's a bit more to the analogy than just the suicidal wolf, though. The wolf is offing itself to minimize loss because there's no clear path to a better outcome.
This seems like a common refrain when we see radicalized engineering students from less-developed countries, who are notably common in extremist groups. They're people on a very difficult path (an engineering program!) with no real path to success (living in a society where unemployment for people with degrees is very high). Cost for continuing on the path is high, and there's no obvious path to get the good outcomes.
