Don't overanalyze it, but statement/context below


Division is man-made.
Division is designed to keep you powerless.
Division is designed to keep you fighting each other.
Division is designed to keep you enslaved.

No one person is above another.
Unity is strength.
Unity is love.
Unity is humanity.
Trust yourself.
Think for yourself.
Only when good people [collectively] come together will positive change occur.

That's a whole bunch of different statements to group together for an "I agree/disagree" questionnaire.

I don't think division is designed. It's more like a consequence of different groups believing different fictions.

I agree. Im not over analyzing it, but I cant agree or disagree with all, or probably most, of the statements...

If I overanalyze it, it becomes even more shades of grey...

Agreed. Ubi put in work.

Division is designed to keep you powerless.

Disagree. Its very empowering taking NYC and Washington DC back from hostile gangs.

Division is designed to keep you fighting each other.

Disagree. The Dark Zone is really just optional.

Division, like all the other mathematical operations, appears to be one of the fundamental laws of nature and not man-made.

Generally agree. Not 100%, but agree with more of those statements than I disagree with.

Could have just said that it's in the interest of elites to drive a wedge between people because it weakens resistance. But sometimes it serves their interests to deal the 'unity' card (e.g. patriotism) from the bottom of the deck.

No. Some division is designed, sure, but there are divisions in biology, chemistry, physics, etc that are not man-made

Agree or disagree? Don't overanalyze...except more philosophical statements to not overanalyze.

Division keeps us from going at each other's throats. Some of the most relatively peaceful countries have smaller wage gaps and are more homogenized in their cultural demographics.

Division wasn't designed. Even the division you are talking about is just a consequence of human nature. You can see it play out in small scale with groups of kids all the time.

Unity is also not always good. What do you do if two people have conflicting goals? If they unite, one or both of them gives up their goal.

Trusting yourself in some sense is very dangerous. Every one of your senses is successfully fooled at the same time every time you dream. In that sense. Trusting yourself too much just makes you vulnerable to being fooled.

Think for yourself is good in theory and you should think as much as you can, but thinking for yourself forsakes unity so it's somewhat counter to your earlier statements. You will never have all the information, at some point you will have to trust others or just acknowledged that you know virtually nothing and never will.

EDIT: Oh and most importantly, good things can happen as the result of individuals if they are competent enough. In your mind, a small number of people control all our suffering, you'd only need a more competent group of a similar size to reverse that and control everything in a way that is in the average person's best interest.
