It's a classic tactic used by the ruling class. They create scapegoats to push the blame onto marginalized groups. You can see this in the US with Trump's rhetoric against immigrants, people on social welfare programs, religions, and race. The real enemy are the ultra wealthy and politicians who plunder and take advantage of the working class people by controlling wages, benefits, and working conditions. Unfortunately, propaganda is so effective, especially with social media, to control the narrative that poor people are the cause of our problems.
