Nazi security logic treated opponents as carriers of dangers, not individuals.

Evidence

R. Hoehn, a Nazi jurist and member of the SS, said in an obituary on Reinhard Heydrich, who prior to his rule of Czechoslovakia had been one of the closest collaborators with Himmler: He regarded his opponents “not as individuals but as carriers of tendencies endangering the state and therefore beyond the pale of the national community.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2789

Categorization

• DEFINE: ‘Carriers of tendencies’ — persons reduced to vectors of objective danger — completes the dangerous/hostile distinction with a vivid dehumanizing formulation.
• XREF: Directly parallels later Islamophobia-field logic of entire categories treated as security threats independent of individual behavior.
