What I call "scapegoating" is when the survivors agree that there was no process--that all the evil was in the one person who acted out or committed an overt crime.

Ah. Then I'm not scapegoating as you define scapegoating. There's obviously a process by which the guy got to where he was able rationalize his actions and that involved a web of complicated actions and myriad causes, not the least of which was the hypocrisy he observed around him.

But some of your assertions

SOUND LIKE

you are minimizing the process to down near absolute zero.

I don’t think that’s accurate to reality.
