The Sacrifice Mechanism of Desire

Renee Girard: Desire is what is fundamental to us. And out of desire comes conflict. It's inherent. We live in LA where people think they can divorce desire from toxicity, right? But that's a common thing in the modern world. There is not an originary potential conflict that arises always out of desire. For Renee Girard, you can't escape it. The solution is a scapegoat mechanism.
