I keep a quote and use it for a frequent reference as needed. I met Elie Wiesel back in 1980 before he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. In his acceptance speech, he said:

"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe."

So what you’re saying is that we have regressed into old patterns of tribalistic vitriol? I mean, it’s very clear to me what the problem is. Our base instincts are being exploited on every possible level. Divide and conquer, the unconscious ones in the background watch the football passed to and fro. It’s by design. I’m leaving the game so I can see it all more clearly from a vantage point of Truth. Sell everything you have except that which sustains you, NEEDS, not material wants. Exit the consumerism machine which feeds Lord Ecónomos, mammon, greed. All servants of corpofascism, the ideology of the neoliberal elites that are extracting all possible value and creativity for their debased wants which never end. The key is Consciousness. Wake up or sleep forever.
