Victimization.

Rene Girard has observed that society creates a scapegoat in order to deflect any sense of evil or culpability.

And he says that we victimize the scapegoat.

This was evident in Nazi Germany.

And it is evident today.

Society and even governments will victimize a minority group in order to gain the approval of the majority.

But this is evil itself.

And it should not be tolerated.
