Group A: We define "Group B" as those people having Attribute X. We hold Group B responsible for historical crimes against Group A and will seek retribution
People having Attribute X: We never thought of ourselves as belonging to a single group, but if you do and wish us collective harm as a consequence, perhaps those of us who have Attribute X have some common interest to defend ourselves from being harmed by Group A
Intellectuals of Ideology 1: There is no such thing as Group B, so it is unthinkable that people with Attribute X would respond to Group A's attempt to do them harm.
No it is unthinkable that Group A decided to aggress against people with Attribute X. People with Attribute X collectively responding to that aggression is a natural and reasonable consequence to that aggression. The aggressors ought to be condemned, not those who are defending themselves from aggression.
