GM , Let's get after it.

Worth a read. https://medium.com/@philosophy.101/divide-and-conquer-the-philosophy-behind-a-polarized-society-dff8164ccb64 --- The Classic Political Playbook: "Divide, Distract, Rule" 1. Create or amplify cultural divisions Promote or highlight identity conflicts (race, gender, religion, sexuality, immigration). Use media, political rhetoric, and social media to polarize society around these issues. 2. Redirect anger horizontally, not vertically Encourage people to blame each other instead of blaming the wealthy or powerful. Example: Working-class whites vs. working-class immigrants — rather than both uniting against exploitative labor practices. 3. Use symbolic gestures instead of material change Corporations or politicians make "woke" statements, change branding, or appoint diverse leaders — but don’t change economic policy (e.g., wages, healthcare, housing). This placates social movements without redistributing wealth or power. 4. Silence or marginalize class-based critique Frame economic critique as “outdated,” “class reductionist,” or even as a form of bigotry. Elevate only those voices that focus on identity without threatening capital or power structures. 5. Promote consumer activism over collective action Suggest that change happens by buying the right products, not organizing, unionizing, or striking. Replace politics with personal branding or lifestyle choices. 6. Fund controlled opposition Fund NGOs, influencers, or campaigns that appear progressive but do not challenge capitalism. The result: movements get absorbed into the system instead of transforming it. 7. Keep the working class fragmented and demoralized Constant infighting over language, representation, or cultural signaling keeps people distracted and divided. Prevent mass organizing (e.g., labor movements, class coalitions). --- Real-World Examples Cited by Critics: The Democratic Party in the U.S. embracing identity politics while backing Wall Street and opposing policies like universal healthcare. Corporate PR campaigns (like rainbow logos during Pride Month) that cover up exploitative labor practices. Media obsessing over cancel culture or "culture wars" while ignoring growing wealth inequality. ---

Five myths cloud our perception of both the past and the present. (1) The "robber baron" myth, which holds that in late nineteenth-century America there were powerful men who became rich at the expense of the poor. The reality is that they became wealthy by being productive, and that there is no other period in history which saw such a rapid and widespread improvement in the well-being of the average individual; (2) The myth that the Great Depression was caused by a failure of business, when it was, in fact, produced by a failure of government and specifically by the Federal Reserve System; (3) The myth that government in the economy has expanded in response to public demand, when, actually, the public has had to be sold "hard" for politicians to enact every major social program; (4) The "free lunch" myth, which forces the individual to pay more, no matter how the government raises money - by taxing individuals, by taxing businesses, or by printing more money; and (5) The myth that government, like Robin Hood, transfers wealth from the rich to the poor, when the reality is that the government usually transfers wealth and income from both the very rich and the very poor to those in the middle. #MiltonFriedman

1. Power through Social Restructuring When societies are "liberalized," meaning when traditional structures, nations, religions, or family models are softened, a fragmented, more easily controllable society emerges. An open society does not automatically mean a sovereign one – it is also more vulnerable to economic and political influence from outside.
