People tend to prefer convenience. And working to be a good person is less convenient than saying, “hold up, I’m [ingroup], and I’m better than you because you’re [outgroup].”
The fatal seed of fascism is in the fact that division and hatred are easy ways to feel good about yourself. “Yeah, I might be dumb, but at least I didn’t read books you fuckin’ nerd!” And that person has a peer group who backs them up, and twenty years later they’re in middle management and bullying staff.
