Moral panics are heaven-sent to bullies; I remind my readers that a pogrom, an outburst of chaotic violence aimed at a marginalized section of the community (e.g. the many thousands of pogroms that Christians have launched against Jews and Blacks and so many others) is basically just an extreme moral panic. The Anatevka pogrom which is dramatized in Fiddler on the Roof is a good fictional example: the pogrom is euphemized as a "demonstration", a way for good patriotic Russians to blow off a bit of steam because, you know, they're just full of feelings.

The maintenance of such a pressure-release valve at the expense of minorities is characteristic of "Western Civilization", which has never succeeded in attaining social harmony and steady equilibrium--on the contrary, the fiercest champions of "the West" set themselves against harmony and equilibrium.
