Common hatred unites the most heterogeneous elements. To share a common hatred, with an enemy even, is to infect him with a feeling of kinship, and thus sap his powers of resistance.
Hitler used anti-Semitism not only to unify his Germans but also to sap the resoluteness of Jew-hating Poland, Romania, Hungary, and finally, even France.
- Eric Hoffer "The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements"（《狂热分子：码头工人哲学家的沉思录》）
