Peoples cut off from common action turn inward to claim collective divinity

Evidence

Whenever peoples have been separated from action and achievements, when these natural tics with the common world have broken or do not exist for one reason or another, they have been inclined to turn upon themselves in their naked natural givenness and to claim divinity and a mission to redeem the whole world. When this happens in Western civilization, such peoples will invariably find the age-old claim of the Jews in their way. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 611
