Re: needing enemies

[(Anonymous)]

I've long been of the opinion that almost every problem that exists in our world exists because people have the "Them and Us" mentality hardwired into them.

Every group of people, Online and IRL, no matter the nature of the group or how noble the goals of the group may start out, EVERY group eventually adopts the "Them and Us" mentality, were they need to be the good guys in their own fight, and need to demonise the other.

Be it nations against nations
neighbourhoods against neighbourhoods
families against families
whites against blacks
whites against asians
whites against native americans
whites against... well everyone, even other whites who are not white enough
SJW's against whites, men, the able bodied ... etc, ... Other SJW's
men against women
women against men
misogynists against feminists
feminists against mra's
christianity against 'sinners' (gays, women, non-believers)
atheists against Christians
everyone against jews
people with souls against gingers.
male geeks against female geeks
comic geek against video geek
Xbox against PS

I'm sure I'm missing oodles of them but I feel I've made my point.

It's a sad and self perpetuating cycle of attack and counter attack that exists in every facet of human life no matter how mundane, and there's no way I can see of breaking these cycles, because everyone on every one of these sides believe that THEY are the good guys, that THEY are the innocent victims that need to stand up for themselves against the enemy. No-one is ever willing to let go of their righteous victimhood and acknowledge that they, by merit of holding on to this cycle of attack and counter attack, are just as guilty of perpetuating the cycle.
