That's the lesson from LBJ and this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_of_Enemies_(2019_film) . It's why the German socialist August Bebel called anti-semitism "the socialism of fools". Humans almost always prefer to punch down instead of up.

The landowner, the peasant and the Jewish bookkeeper sit around a table with a large cake. The landowner takes 90% of the cake. Then he tells the peasant, "he's going to steal your piece." What happens next. The bookkeeper was my Russian great grandfather, killed by a Russian Cossack in 1919. Thanks for reading.
