Create division
Unity is power so the greedy politicians need to create divisions to weaken citizens.
Creating division is top-down, forcing a group identity to everyone
- Often exploiting uncontrollable characteristics like sex, national origin etc.
- The definitions of each group and the membership are always controlled by the politicians
- Use propaganda and force to maintain the division
- The communist theorist Georgi Plekhanov wrote in 1928: "To identify, to contradict, and to exclude the middle". Basically to identify one social difference and push it to the extreme.
In contrast, forming groups or parties is bottom-up, a voluntary self-organization
- Some Jewish business forming a business group is not creating division
- A Nazi comes up with rules to force Jews wear the star is
People are different and the difference has always been there. However, these regulations always highlight the difference, give favors, and create disagreements.
People have prejudice and it's not the problem. The problem is forced differentiation by regulations
Division in family
- Encourage children under 18 to go aginst parents
- 18-year-old Helena Duke reported her own mother as an "extremist" so her mother lost job and the entire family lost income
- children needs to be 18 to drink, but they can get the experimental COVID vax on their own
Gender identity
- California ban shops to separate childrens' products by gender
- Regulations allow trans atheletes to compete in women's sports and get all the awards
- The trans atheletes has nothing wrong but the competition is unfair
- Regulations allowing anyone identify with "women" gender to enter women's washroom, prison etc.
- The best solution is up to debate but the purpose of the legislators is to create division
- Google map marks some businesses as "women-led" with good-looking icon on it while there is not similar measures for "men-led"
