It depends on blaming a minority group for problems that people face instead of addressing the problems. It's the natural progression of a system that enables sycophants.
Wealth is finite, the amount of currency in existence is finite. The rich benefit at the expense of the poor, the poor benefit at the expense of the rich.
If a leader is benefitting from worsening the lives of the poor, and doesn't want to change their goals, they need to distract the poor from the problems they need addressed. The most common way is to trick them into thinking an "expendible" minority is the cause, and the only solution is to erase them. This distraction also allows the leaders to further erode the rights of the poor in the process.
Until it all inevitably collapses, because a society where things only get worse for the vast majority are not sustainable
Wealth redistribution kills fascism
The amount of currency in existence is not finite lol.
It absolutely is finite, there is an economic theory that says wealth is theoretically infinite, but it's theory, not reality.
It absolutely isn’t. Currency is printed all the time lol.
1 is a finite number
1+1 is a finite number
1+? Is a finite number, even if you don't know what it is
If you look at the amount of currency at any given point in time you can absolutely track every debt and dollar to a number, the fact that that number is always changing does not stop it from being finite.
You're really embarrassing yourself here
So in your opinion, infinite doesn't exist? If you can keep printing money whenever you want, no, the amount of currency in existence is not finite. What is the limit of how much of a currency can be created? What is the limit of USD? If it's finite then you should be able to answer.
Not me who's doing that lol. You just said this lol....
Is human population infinite too? More babies are made all the time, i don't know if there's a limit to how many can be born
