I wish I could find some curated readings about the sociology of shared enemy and all the usual social reflexes that lead bad states.

Not exactly curated, but Durant & Durant The Story of Civilization (1935-1975) is 11 volumes containing several bright spots interspersed with an awful lot of people being awful to each other.

  People are people, so why should it be
  They often treat each other so awfully

you're welcome.

(if you'd like, have a 1927/1984 mashup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctqMIkrqCj8 )
