About the rootless cosmopolitan thing - it is not just regime loyalty, I have seen non-powerful plumbers talk in terms like this way into the new democratic regimes. It is more of a standard tribal ethnic-racial type of nationalism, blood-and-soil type. It is a classic Blue-Green tribal instinct.
Yes, the standard "they are different, must be an enemy tribe" attitudes are there, of course, too. But the accusation of "rootless" specifically implies both the lack of longstanding allegiance and the possibility of severing ties and moving some place else -- both things not conducive to loyalty.
