It's just much easier to have someone specific to blame than just concepts (like hunger, poverty, war, etc). Specifically when these concepts tend to be far away from developed countries. Much easier to feel a direct threat if your enemy has a name or a face and invades/attacks your space. And for that reason governments can get away with these agendas you mention :/
