I have little patience for small minded people who study the pecking order of which minority/group will get sacrificed first on the dictator's behalf like people study horse races and try to suss out which is the winning side... it is such a boring, complicated story full of exhausting avalanches of illusionary words and one concrete flow of hate that eventually obliterates everything no matter what all of the other words say.
There really isn't a choice, you either treat solidarity as a plant to be gardened, nurtured and cared for or you betray your future self and spend the rest of your life hurting others in an active denial of how your own cynicism sabotaged you.
I think they convince themselves that the dictator will stop at the scapegoat-of-the-week and never come for them. It really only bears out insofar as the dictatorship will either collapse or transition to a steady state of powerlessness for the average citizen where the dictator no longer feels they need the facade of trying to improve conditions, like where North Korea is.
