In my reading, most of the recent literature on #scapegoating / #blaming would argue that the strategies work for supporters of the communicating actors, but may even have contrary effects on those opposed to these actors or on those being high in cosmopolitanism / already in favor of IOs. /2
Highly interesting paper - congrats! But as you asked researchers for delving more into the conditions under which #scapegoating is successful: a lot of the lit on the topic already suggests (& tests) a moderation effect of characteristics of those receiving the communication. /1
❗️Researchers should critically assess the #scapegoating argument prevalent in #IO & #IMF research.
We must identify the conditions under which governments’ #blame avoidance attempts succeed or fail.
This will provide valuable lessons for ensuring #accountability in int’ politics & IO #legitimacy.
🔎 We examine the effect of both strategies in a survey #experiment in #Pakistan 🇵🇰 in 2023, which constitutes a typical setting for the #scapegoating argument.
📊 The surprising result: despite this favourable setting, both strategies fail to deflect responsibility to the #IMF!
A TRAITOR WAS AT THE VERY TOP OF REFORM UK, AIDING AND ABETTING A FOREIGN ADVERSARY. NIGEL FARAGE AND HIS PARTY ARE A DANGER TO NATIONAL SECURITY. NIGEL FARAGE HIMSELF WAS PREVIOUSLY PAID TO BE ON PUTIN'S TV CHANNEL, RUSSIA TODAY, AND SAID HE WAS THE WORLD LEADER HE ADMIRES THE MOST. WE MUST ALL ASK-WHERE DO HIS LOYALTIES REALLY LIE? - ED DAVEY
It’s time for answers over Nigel Farage’s repeated interactions with outlets connected to Russian state messaging.

De cartoon toont twee witte geiten die elkaar boos aankijken. Bovenaan staat de titel: “Scapegoating of het zondebokmechanisme…”. De linker geit klaagt verontwaardigd dat mensen onbeperkt pesticiden verspreiden, grondstoffen uitputten en biodiversiteit vernietigen, maar dat “wij” (de geiten) last krijgen zodra zij één ziekte verspreiden. De rechter geit reageert droog: “Exact, en dat heet nou scapegoating…”. Visueel verwijzen de geiten duidelijk naar het begrip “zondebok”. De scherpe blikken en open monden benadrukken conflict en verontwaardiging. Inhoudelijk bekritiseert de cartoon het mechanisme waarbij schuld wordt afgeschoven op een makkelijk aanwijsbare groep (dieren, natuur, of een minderheid), terwijl de structurele oorzaken bij menselijk handelen liggen. De tegenstelling tussen grootschalige milieuschade en het uitvergroten van één probleem onderstreept hypocrisie. De cartoon maakt duidelijk hoe zondebokdenken verantwoordelijkheid maskeert en complexe problemen versimpelt.

We are sorry to hear about deportations such as these. Vulnerable families should not be deported like this after having spent time integrating, regardless of their official status. This is wrong, and we need to wake up. #ireland #scapegoating #taxsuperwealth

ReformUK's greatest disappointment about the Gorton and Denton result must have been how few of their hundreds of thousands of dedicated bots showed up to vote and instead left the field open to the actual electorate.

JD Vance says there are 30 million undocumented immigrants in America. In 2025, undocumented immigrants were responsible for 29 murders. That means 1 in a million undocumented immigrants is a murderer. There are 22,000 ice agents. They were responsible for 34 murders in 2025. That means 1 in every 674 ICE agents is a murderer. I'll take a neighborhood of undocumented folks over a neighborhood full of ICE Agents any day.

Why would you want to be poorer, have fewer rights, worse public services and a privatised NHS? Is being racist that important to you? @AntiFashLeague

Why are the Clintons the only ones that have to answer about the Epstein files? Why the hell is Hillary even included here? Her name isn’t in the damn files. Some individuals names are shown all throughout the files, thousands of times, yet, somehow we’re looking at these two. AGAIN. #Scapegoating
