Because explaining the cause and effect of a real problem is much harder than pointing to an out group and saying "everyone that's not you is a bag guy"

Propaganda works because it creates enemies. When the real problem is more complicated, it takes a lot more work to explain.

Even if your message is "billionaires are bad" that's a group that people think they want to be a member of, which makes it hard to get behind.

It's much easier to point to people without power and say "you don't want to be them, you don't want to be around them, let's get rid of them"
