"If you create an atmosphere where everyone has to hate the same people... "
Again: it's why those people have to be hated that's important.
If standards reflect real properties of reality, people who're seeking the truth will tend to generate similar standards. If people have similar standards, they'll tend to reach the same sorts of judgments.
What matters is that our judgments arise from accurate standards, not from merely imitating others. Error leads to condition X, but it doesn't follow that ~X is therefore correct.
If you never feel the need to say "Damn X for not damning Y" then good for you, but I think that is at least sometimes felt, and leads to judgements not being as you describe independent.
Only if the judgers care what others think of them.
There are some very real advantages to being a sociopath if you want to be a rationalist... and some very real advantages to societies that have a sufficiently great concentration of sociopaths.
