Guitarsophist<p>I'm working on a blog post about Kenneth Burke's concept of the "scapegoat mechanism." Burke is very good at describing Nazi rhetorical practices. The scapegoating process might be summarized as</p><p> * Construct an ideal "We," (in our case, Americans)<br> * Identify problems that keep the "We" from being ideal<br> * Identify a group of members who can be blamed for those problems<br> * Loudly and vociferously identify those problems with that group<br> (though in fact the problems may originate within the vocal group<br> making the accusations)<br> * Purify the "We" by expunging the scapegoated group<br> * However, the problems don't go away, so the process begins again with<br> another group.</p><p>We are experiencing this in real time. <br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/scapegoating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scapegoating</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a></p>
