We assume the 1% is white, christian and male, but is it? And insofar as it isn't, I think it's unlikely that scapegoats will be picked in the traditional (e.g. racist) way. One non-racial scapegoat category be criminals -- the right is already successful scapegoating illegal immigrants for a remarkable variety of issues.

- alxjrvs 7y agoI think it is fair to say that targeting "illegal immigrants" satisfies both racial and "criminal" requirements. Criminality itself is fairly racial.
- pytester 7y agoI think it's quite hard to pick out which groups will end up being the scapegoat du jour, although there are some hints. I think the hammer is much more likely to come down on Muslims than Jews in the west, for instance. Whichever group it is, some wealthy people will probably get caught up in it and flee the country.
