The one-dimensional worldview diverts scrutiny from where genuine threats are rooted.

Evidence

All that has been said thus far does not intend to imply that warnings about the possibility of another holocaust are totally unfounded, that the world we live in now differs from the world of the Holocaust to an extent that makes the present-day world completely Holocaust-proof. But it does mean that the threat of such holocausts as may yet come is all too often sniffed out and searched for in the wrong places; the scrutiny is diverted from the ground in which genuine threats are rooted. A sinister trait of the one-dimensional worldview is that, while concentrating our attention in one direction, we close our eyes to the manifold nature of the real dangers. — Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust, 683
