they are also responsible for degrading the effectiveness of other tools. so they have no one to blame if the tool they made so potent becomes the tool of choice to use against them.
Which pretty much disables your point that scapegoating corporations becomes more effective when a country drifts to the right - the people on the right are less likely to scapegoat big oil and the powers-that-be on the right are more inclined to protect big oil.
