Actually, it's much simpler than that. You've aptly described many of the mechinisms employed, but the only reason they succeed is because people have lost, or perhaps, more aptly, given up a sense of community. Not the community of diversity and "it takes a village" sophistry, but that of doing right by their neighbor. As a culture, we have given up the ideal of helping each other, in exchange for the dubious security of having the "gummit" do it for us. (That in itself, being a long and sordid tale)

Philosophy, not linked to reality, is the refuge of small minds, who seek to justify their actions, without the inconvience of consequences.
