Divide & Distract

Areas of Focus:

Powerful interests amplify identity based conflicts to divert attention from systemic issues. By framing these topics as existential threats, they distract from discussions about economic inequality and policy reform.​

1. Manufactured Cultural Conflicts

2. Propaganda and Misinformation

The dissemination of propaganda and misinformation confuses the public and polarizes opinions. Manipulating public perception makes it challenging to identify and address the root causes of societal issues.​

3. Scapegoating & Dehumanization

4. Fragmentation

Assigning blame to specific groups—immigrants, minorities—diverts attention from systemic failures. Dehumanizing these groups creates an other mentality, allowing systemic abuses to continue unfought.

By sowing discord among various social and political groups, powerful interests kill unified movements that could challenge the status quo. This fragmentation weakens efforts to address systemic issues.
