A lot of people seems to feel
very on edge these days. More aggressive and more angry.
And you know what, I totally get it.
I feel this way too.
Everything is on fire and we feel powerless. It sucks.
But if we eat each other, there will be nobody left to fight the oppressors.
While we fight each other,
while we drain each other,
they win.
Do not let authoritarian oppressors win by shooting at your allies.
Even if they're not allies you agree with all the time, even if they're temporarily allies for an urgent cause, focus your energy on the real danger. Do not drain allies' supplies, even if they are imperfect allies. That's what your enemy wants you to do.
We must support each other in these difficult times, if we want to even have a tiny chance to create peace, acceptance, and inclusion for the future π

Divide and Conquer is not a new strategy by any metric. The United States of America has been perfecting this methodology for quite some time. Those in power (the oligarchy) own all of the main stream media and use it to try to create as many fractures in our society as possible. With full understanding that as long as we fight amongst ourselves we will not be focused on them. They divide us on every line conceivable and then we invent new ones to help them.

in reply to Unus Nemo • • •Those that own the media control the propaganda. Ellul and others have pointed out that control of the media is a necessary prerequisite.
Yes we are furiously agreeing.

in reply to Em • • •This. Every day @Em0nM4stodon put it on repeat. With you all the way on this.
On the few times I've gotten through to biggoted people it's been a long these lines of discussion. "You ain't no millionaire, neither am I. We're both a couple of bad days away from the wheels falling off. As long as you're at the throat of someone else the Billionares win. It doesn't even matter to them whose throat you're at. They don't give a fuck about you anymore than the people they tell you to hate. "
