In French there is a group of people called the Cagots. Which were a persecuted minority group. Basically untouchables. They were hated for centuries that people even forgot why they were hated. The discrimination even persisted until the first half of the 20th century. If it isn’t the Jews or the gays it’s just anyone else for reasons unknown.
Usual|y people blame the British for everything
If the British hadn't sucked so much during the Revolutionary War (or at least the war of 1812), we wouldn't be dealing with fascism in America right now. Just sayin'. 🤷♂️
Yep Brits were never fascists yep. Like labeling a peaceful activist group as a terrorist organization is not fascism yep. /s
There would still be fascism; but there wouldn't be an America.
Three letter names for scapegoats are tight!
That's why I always just blame you. Yes, you!
shifts blame
Using more than three letters is super hard, a huge inconvenience.
they cant read more letters at a time
Explanation: In the pre-modern, early modern, and industrial era of Western civilization (ie just about everything before WW2), it was extremely common to blame social unrest or natural disasters on the Jews or the Christian God punishing Christians for allowing the Jews to [checks notes]... exist.
Luckily, when the Jews weren't available as a scapegoat, for one reason or another, the gays were always an alternative target! Such as by the great and celebrated preacher John Chrysostom, who considered homosexuality worse than murder, and linked sexual immorality of cities with earthquakes which killed hundreds of people!
How... lovely.
Religion is so nice!
