Our perpetually suffering scapegoat

Oh? There are open-air prisons all over the place but the big mean violent (and often intolerant) people are making it hard for them to not imprison them. Welp... I guess no one gets to complain about their perfectly externally (and only externally) fixable problem now... Or ever... Forever!
Hym "And as long as we have our perpetually suffering scapegoat we get to say 'Well, yeah, that's happening and, yeah, I don't want it to happen to me but... Look at Jesus over there... See? I'm that's way worse right? So, I gUeSs We CaN't Do AnYtHiNg AbOuT iT,, Right Cody Johnston? (I forgot a coma on the last one so I added 2 this time)"

A sociological framework examining how groups select, construct, and use scapegoats to manage internal tensions, consolidate power, and maintain cohesion. The theory posits that scapegoating follows predictable dynamics: a group under stress identifies a vulnerable target, projects blame onto them, and unifies against the perceived threat. Scapegoats can be individuals, minorities, or even abstract categories. The process serves to externalize internal conflicts, allowing the group to preserve its self-image while venting frustration. The theory draws on Girard’s scapegoat mechanism and modern social psychology, showing that scapegoating is not irrational outburst but a patterned social strategy. Understanding these dynamics helps resist the manipulation of fear and blame in politics, workplaces, and online communities.
Example: “The company’s layoffs were followed by a campaign blaming middle management for all problems—classic theory of social dynamics of scapegoats, using a designated target to deflect responsibility and restore morale.”
