Anyone who refers to people as “the masses” hates individuals and individuality. Thinking of individual people as a “mass” allows leftists/statists to formulate some pretty horrific policies for them.

Good post, and well put.

Someone expressed it to me a little differently, once upon a time, with a caution against people who express "love" for "mankind" -- but always in the plural, and in the abstract.
