Seems more a case of "use whatever the hot topic is for circumventing rational thought".

Recent version could be something like this:

Or any of the other modern topics people have mentioned. It'd need to be combined with having the ability and intent to acquire the property of the targeted people.

In the above example, being the people don't seem to really own much/any property anyway, maybe it's harder than it first looks?
