That's true, but just because I didn't experience it doesn't mean imaginary enemies isn't a well-worn tactic used in society. The Jews were demonized by Christians in the ye-old days based on imaginary qualities that simply weren't true. So were the Land-lords. So were the "witches" and the "heretics".
