If we don’t know what’s driving us inside, we can never improve on ourselves

An opinion from the Internet on racism bring an inherent Human problem:

“It is not a human problem - it is a “divide and conquer” problem creation. It is a psychological operation at a grand scale that has been perpetrated on the humans of this planet for millennia. Not only that, but the “facts” that you are providing are the cliches of today’s modern society, Not many years ago, I also believed the same propaganda, but I have grown so much wiser by looking into this subject more deeply rather than just accepting the regular/mainstream narrative aka “history” that has been warped over the years to fit special agendas.”

I fully agree with you that we are manipulated through the usual “divide and conquer” policy to hate and fight each other.

At present for example in the US there is a very ugly election campaign brewing and whatever happens now with all the chaos suits certain circles very well.

Still, those who want to manipulate us would not be able to manipulate us if we didn’t have the potential spark of hate inside.

Hitler couldn’t mobilize, turn a whole nation the way he did if they didn’t have the sparks of racism, sense of supremacy in them. The same happened in Rwanda the white colonial powers used the already existing, simmering hate to turn the tribes against each other.

And it is the same today, “clever” politicians, leaders with the right tools can create separation, hate, killing by using our inherently egocentric, self-justifying instincts, hateful instincts towards others.

Similarly we are brainwashed to excessively overconsume everything through media, marketing, but again they can play on our inherent qualities of envy, jealousy, always measuring ourselves against others, trying to get what others have, etc.

We need to know this, as otherwise we can’t treat the root cause, the “negative virus” that is in all of us.

Only when we acquire the ability to think, decide, act above, against ourselves, exist independent of all the egotistic, individualistic, exploitative inclinations in us, then we will become immune to such manipulations, brainwash.
