Nice essay.

The Jonathan Glover book, Humanity, which I still think everyone on this thread should read, makes your point often: the truth is propaganda when its an unwanted truth. Here's a quote about the book: "Glover's disturbing historical survey shows us how moral identity can erode through dehumanizing others individually and collectively, through establishing distance enough to make their suffering invisible, through utilitarian and utopian rationalization."
