Divide & Conquer

Divide and Conquer, a social environment that pits everyone against each other to keep people afraid of one another. It creates a vulnerability in people who are susceptible to manipulation.

Methods Include 

• Singling out a group of people that have similar characteristics eg. sex, religion, race, class and political views. this splits people us into categories 

• Create illusions of being in danger. The aim of this illusion are to keep people in a constant state of fear and hostility, usually towards another group who are also victim of the same tactic. Fear mongering is a weapon to stir up hatred and animosity between groups, this can be done through propaganda and misinformation

• Victimizing. making a group feel like they are the victim and are vulnerable to abuse. this can causes a closed-off mindset rejecting any outside perspective to reasoning. When a source of reasoning is presented, the argument is immediately shutdown and is regarded as invalid, insensitive or an abusive attack.

• Control the narrative of each group, by controlling the media and mind set of each group they can easily be manipulated to cause unrest or vote for power structures who work against everyone except the higher few

• Create divisions between groups, by using divisive language, pitting them against each other in a competition that can never be won. This allows people to be pitted against each other without actually understanding the root of the problem

• Create an environment of mistrust and paranoia, where no one can be sure of who they can trust and who they can't. This helps to create a sense of helplessness and fear in the population

Vandana Shiva’s views on the ‘divide and conquer’ strategy of social control have been highly influential. Shiva argues that this strategy is used to maintain power and control over the masses by dividing them into smaller, more easily manipulated groups. 

The use of the divide and conquer strategy has serious implications for social justice and equality. By dividing people into smaller groups and controlling the narrative of each group, those in power are able to maintain their control over the population. This leads to a lack of representation in decision-making and a lack of resources for those who are most in need. This can lead to the further entrenchment of inequality and injustice, as those in power are able to maintain their control over the population.

The world is controlled by fear

& 

Run by the reaction of fear.

The seven deadly sins are a reflection of the current consciousness of the people of the world, as they are rooted in fear and manifest in our daily lives in a variety of ways. 

• Greed is driven by a fear of not having enough, and it leads to a desire to acquire more than is necessary.

• Wrath is rooted in a fear of not being in control, and it can manifest as anger, rage, or violence.

• Gluttony is born of a fear of not having enough pleasure or satisfaction, and can result in overindulgence in food, drink, or other comforts.

• Sloth is driven by a fear of failure, and can lead to procrastination and a lack of motivation.

• Pride is rooted in a fear of not being good enough, and can manifest as arrogance or vanity.

• Lust is driven by a fear of not being attractive or desirable, and can lead to objectifying others or seeking gratification from physical pleasure.

• Envy is driven by a fear of not having something that someone else has, and it can lead to a desire to possess what others have and a feeling of inadequacy.

The seven deadly sins are a reflection of our current state of consciousness, as they are rooted in a deep-seated fear and manifest in a variety of ways. We live in a world where fear is pervasive, and it is this fear that drives us to act in ways that are ultimately destructive to ourselves and to others. The seven deadly sins are a reminder that fear can be a powerful force, and can lead to negative outcomes if not managed properly. It is up to us to be mindful of our fears, and to take steps to address them in a healthy and constructive manner. By doing so, we can create a better future for ourselves and for those around us.
