The topic of scapegoating is an interesting one.


"Scapegoating is a propaganda technique that has been used throughout history as a means for people to move blame and responsibility away from themselves by attributing it to others (or to an object or event). A scapegoat is the person or group made to bear the blame for or punished for those errors committed by others.


Related words and phrases: whipping boy, witchhunt, killing the messenger "


Orwell used this as part of his theme in the book, Animal Farm.

Oh, well I don't doubt that is exactly what you feel, but the OP didn't seem to feel this way so my response was mainly directed to her. :)

Re: WWII, the scapegoating, etc., I just wanted to add something that's sort of off topic.
