How do "They" do It?
It just doesn't make any sense...
At the same time, we "have been learned" ( i know i should use taught, but i don't want to..) that We are more "developed" than Some People. Normally these are people we don't have direct contact with. They might be people living in some far away country who's Culture has Barbaric Elements of Arranged Marriage or Cruelty to Animals. They might be heavily Suffering under a Cruel Dictatorship and are fed Outrageous Propaganda and are therefore unable to Formulate Alternatives and Organise themSelves to do Something About that . They might be those people in the Third World who don't have access to Modern Health Care and therefore are dying of Diseases that could have been Easily Prevented. They might be less far away, they might be "those people" living in Counsel Flats ( Projects if you are in the States), where girls are Having Babies aged 16 in order to get Benefits in order to be able to move into their Own Flat in order to feel they Are an Adult. They might be those people who are Addicted to Drugs or Alcohol. They might be those people who are Anti-Social, not a Member of Normal Society...

Normally these are people we don't have direct contact with. They might be people who are part of what they call "High Culture", the Elite and Aristocrats who go Hunting on Horseback with Hounds. They might be people who are involved in Politics, Comities or Think Tanks, who take Notice of All Sides of this or that issue in order to take Well Informed Steps. They might be people who are highly educated. Specialists in their field. They might be those people who are Special Advisers in Health or Finance. They might be the people who are Members of a Board of Directors of a large Corporation, Institution or Charity. They might be those people in Roles of Authority who Know what we Can or Can Not Do. They might be those people who are Philanthropist, Funding research to discover the next LifaSaving new Drugs. They might be those people who are Socialites, RoleModels, Outstanding Members of Society... |
Divide & Rule
Maybe not so Obvious at First but once you start Noticing it...
The Opposite of Divide is not Unite. To Divide is only to Separate in a Definite Number of 'United' Blocks; Some place where We Belong... 'States' that need Strong Leadership to Defend 'National Interests'. Left- and Right-wing Politics Formulating Models for 'Functional' Societies, Ruling Parties and Opposition to create 'Democratic and Fair' Societies.
Apart from Politics; Education in order to become Successfully Employed... Employment with 'Workers Rights', 'Leisure time' in order to strike a 'Work/Life Balance' (to Produce/ Consume.) 'Lifestyles' to 'Increase Choice' (and sell the Products). Entertainment... Sports... 'Panem et Circenses' for our Well-Being.
The Opposite of Divide is not Unite. The Opposite of Divide is to Expose.
