In the 1930s after a decade or so of economic suppression the elites looked for a safe scapegoat to redirect the torrent of popular fury at.
It appears elites are on the hunt for a popular scapegoat again. Immigrants, Muslims and now technology.
It has as much to do with technology as it has to do with muslims.

Note the steady march away from elites and corporations as the enemy towards bullies on Twitter and social media being the 'issue of the day'. Seems like a very convenient way to shift the ire from those with power to those without. A way to make left wing politics from an economic battle into a meaningless circle of virtual signalling.
