Throughout history, "the powers that be" always sought ways and means of controlling their population by neutralizing and weakening various subgroups and people that might otherwise pose a threat to the prevailing status quo of inequality and injustice. To counter the threats against their power, the elites resorted to manipulating and manufacturing conflicts between different people and groups, exploiting their differences in skin color, religion, language, culture, socioeconomic class, nationality, gender, sexual identity, age, political party, you name it… the list can arbitrarily go on and on. In other words, it's the old "divide and conquer" rule that they always deploy to shift the blame of societal ills on the population.
