Moral Ease.

Hitler said that the creation of a scapegoat provided Moral Ease for the majority.

By blaming the scapegoat for any evils in society the majority feel morally superior.

They are good because the scapegoat is bad.

So you will find negative propaganda about minorities: Muslims, immigrants, gays and lesbians.....

Because this diverts anything negative away from the ruling elite.

This is done in order to hide what the elite are doing.

In fact the evils of society are caused by the ruling elite.

But because these evils are blamed on the scapegoat the ruling elite appears blameless, even saintly.

So be aware that if you are comfortable with the world as it is then you are being manipulated.
