Well to answer your question, it's any sort of manic projecting of the dreaded, evil OTHER on to what is obviously just petty bullshit.

That's one of my "bat signals", I guess lol

I find it morbidly fascinating because of the functional purpose of dehumanization categories. At best, they get used to lazily paint over complexity and at worst, to justify the usually unjustifiable.

So whether it's facebook leftists being awful to somebody who just lacks social skills and jargon, or the far right trying to make the margins in to The Enemy, it's all the same danse macabre to me.
