I agree it is important to pay attention and be wary of trends. I said that in my original comment. You say we are not talking about individuals, but the point of my comment was to draw attention to this fact. We should talk about individuals, unless you are a collectivist. I am an individualist. I judge people based on their individual traits, and I will continue to encourage others to do the same.
We live in the West. We believe in things like individual liberty, the individual's right to pursue success. This is not yet a socialist of fascist dystopia, and as long as we judge people as individuals instead of falling for the divide and conquer tactic of grouping entire demographics into "enemy" or "friend" classifications, that will remain true.
It is possible to properly name your enemies and still emerge victorious as a collective. A nation can exist of individuals, as I think you recognize. I don't claim that we are purely individualistic in our society. I simply think victory can be more easily achieved if you, well, call a spade a spade. Don't call the clubs and diamonds spades as well. The Jews (and non-Jews!) in roles of supreme power are the enemies. Not all Jews. Not all black people. Not all non-whites. We can name the individuals who threaten our collective and still succeed, more easily I'd say.
