Nah it's way easier to point the finger at minority groups and claim they are the cause of all our troubles. It's been working great for years, why would the ruling class stop now?

Pretty sure “capitalism” is the whipping boy of the present day for people to blame for all their woes.

Believe it or not, there have been well-reasoned, aptly articulated arguments against capitalism delivered by earnest, enlightened people (and members of every class), delivered chiefly out of compassion for their fellow man, for over 200 years.

Anti-capitalism sentiment is in no way a transient sensation. It's clear from your comments you aren't well-read on the subject, and I don't mean that as an insult; with some even-keeled reading of relevant works rather than knee-jerk dismissal of all criticism of capitalism as people looking for something to "blame for their woes," you will undoubtedly have a better grasp on the world and your own position in it.
