I have several doubts on the scapegoat theory but also on this text. we should remember that far right ideas are being seeded by money, there are real villains manipulating emotions to obtain more power and they don't really care if they have to use racism or any other absurd theory to create fake internal and external enemies.. and say that are libertarians in the same (if this makes any sense) there are international powerful organizations and local ones replicating similar messages of hate this is spreading their ideas and their ideas are over the social media.. so, the people gets easily infected (mostly young and old people, curiously the ones with less experience in the internet easily fall under loops of fake news) will say more, they are trying to tag internal and external people as the scapegoat (the black, the hispano, the gay, the muslim, the women, we)

yes, i agree with you mostly but it doesn't really invalidate girard's point imo. how the scapegoat arrives is irrelevant as long as they arrive. it doesn't matter if the process that leads to their arrival involves bad ideas seeded by money from actors pursuing their own self interests at the expense of global peace and progress.

while this does not invalidate the scapegoat theory, I think girard point is invalidated, he argued that the cause of nationalism and far right raising is the temporal weakness of scapegoat theory but we agree that it is just like a variant of the scapegoat created by self interest (no real weakness but artificial action to use the scapegoat on their favor) anyway, hitler was not a scapegoat, nazis were a real danger for the whole humankind

hitler was a real evil, a real danger. and tbf i don't think girard would have accepted hitler as a scapegoat as well. just because hitler was indeed guilty. i was just riffing on his theory. any misunderstanding is my fault.

it is just that I don't fully believe in the scapegoat theory, this is just a conservative mechanism and I am more of a revolutionary, so, cannit accept burning something to keep the status quo forever and, the theory is not consistent if needs the support on hitler as scapegoat, since we all know hitler was real nightmare, so, the theory is like washing nazis and other facists image, and I don't think it is useful nowadays, so, most of the people identifying with these politics are in need of a scapegoat, someone to burn and continue believing in current statu quo, the level of complexity is high to say something like a conclusion (usually happens with human behaviour and human behaviour at scale, society)
