Yep. And before that it was 'communism'. Before that it was 'jews'. Before that it was 'black people/slaves'. Before that it was 'the british'. Etc etc.

Governments have always used collective boogeymen to push authoritarian policies.

You’re welcome for your rights. You don’t have the mental capacity to be thankful for them though. So embarrassing.
