Depressing thoughts about politics and people's voting intentions:

What if you know there's a #ClimateEmergency but you're tired of being responsible and doing the right thing? What if you secretly want an excuse to pretend we're fine and find decision makers to take on the responsibility for #DoingNothing?

What if you want a #ScapeGoat? Or even a #SinEater? Is that why even moderate people may vote for National or ACT or NZ First? #NZpol

THE NEW SCAPEGOAT
for capitalist labor abuse

AI isn't competing for your job, your boss just sees you as another cost to cut.

Is there a word for the opposite of a #scapegoat? For instance, the way false threats involving children have been used to drive transphobia and homophobia. The way false threats involving white women have been used to kill black men and boys, #EmmitTill to start.

What is the word for the opposite of a scapegoat: a group who is defined as helpless against an outgroup to drive fear?

If no word exists, do you have ideas?

#fascism #scapegoat
When a people are demoralized, abused, othered, & have less opportunities to work, their mental health suffers and behaviors become reactive, fear and anger based, to no fault of their own, & negative stereotypes get reinforced, bc of the systemic hate, thus the cycle of the scapegoat. The perpetrators lies become the fascist version of ‘truth’.

How #sugar became the #scapegoat for society’s ills – from #austerity to the #CostOfLivingCrisis | Karen Throsby | The Guardian

I was aware of the issue of fat shaming and poverty shaming that has taken place over the past decade based on one essential ingredient of food. Maybe the #FoodIndustry needs to be forced to act rather than blaming people without money.

@Geri

Or #Baverman goes before that, she resigns, so he can't use her as #scapegoat for the failure of their #immigration policies.

She can return to the backbenches were the NAT C's can flock to her. Causing #Sunak more irritation!

She really doesn't want to be in the Home Office when the figures come out. They are going to be bad for them. Which hurt her right wing, racist & xenophobic image!
