What do you call this phenomenon? I think of the kulaks burning their harvest and I think of schools shutting down during desegregation in the US rather than integrate. Are there any other good examples? Why do people do this?

They do this because their souls have been corrupted by capital to the point of no longer having a humanity. Inundated with gifts from the bourgeoisie, they develop a false class conciseness and think they're one of them. The truth is they're placed there to form a buffer between the workers and the owners - to divide us and keep us fighting against each other. Colonialism was rife with this manipulation and it's best summarized in the adage 'divide and conquer'. In modern parlance, they're a pick me for the ruling class, and like any pick me, they get cut loose as soon as they have worn out their purpose.

They deserve pitty for being such fools first, followed swiftly by what the kulaks got.
