Scapegoating

A propaganda technique that has been used throughout history as a means for people to move blame and responsibility away from themselves by attributing it to others. The most famous example of this in modern history is the singling out in Nazi propaganda of the Jew as the source of Germany’s post-World War I economic woes and political collapse.
