    I’m sure they originate in economic pressures. But it’s like letting a genie out of a lamp - you can easily whip up religious / racist hatred, but once out, it takes a life of its own and can turn even on its own creators.

      Sure, but we must still understand their utility exists to justify the base, ie the economic structures.
