      Until they move the in-group. Which they’ll do if they continue to get their way. They have to keep projecting power like this to keep this up, and they’ll continue to grind through subgroups of the population to do it.

      Except that the in-group is constantly shifting, to ensure there’s always an enemy to rally the masses against. The only consistently protected group is the rich.
