DIVIDE & CONQUER:

The Political toolbox of divisive political instruments.

There exists, unfortunately, a list of political instruments used effectively by the Roman Empire to control its vast Empire keeping its populations under tight control of the governing regime.
This Political Leadership Control of the masses concept of ‘Divide and Conquer’ is, in fact, designed and implemented by ruling regimes to Cling on to power for personal gain at the expense of the masses for as long as they are able.
 
Here are just some of these political tools of the Divide and Conquer Political instruments toolbox, see how many of you can spot them being employed around us today, by today’s western leadership models. Especially here in the UK for centuries.
Will you come to realise that YOU my brother and sister Brit inherently, don’t actually hate anyone. Far too many are led to do so. Who do YOU work with, yup, the rest of us. WE work together, WE live together, WE laugh together ,WE play together, WE love together, WE care of injustices together; WE protest together. So, this “HATRED of the OTHER”, demonstrably, is fake, until a western politician infects our Peace & Tranquillity, usually for personal benefit.

By recognising these political Divide & Conquer tools, we can work to build bridges and unite communities against divide & conquer regime systems.
A divide and conquer philosophy can be considered a form of political psychological weaponry. Here's why:

- *Divide and conquer*:
This strategy involves creating divisions within a group or population to weaken their collective strength and make them more susceptible to control or manipulation.

- *Psychological impact*:
By exploiting existing differences or creating new ones, divide and conquer tactics can have a profound psychological impact on individuals and groups, leading to feelings of mistrust, anxiety, and disunity.

- *Political manipulation*:
Divide and conquer is often used as a political tool to gain power, influence, or control over others. By creating divisions, individuals or groups can be manipulated into supporting a particular agenda or ideology.

- *Weaponization*:
In this context, divide and conquer can be seen as a form of psychological weaponry, where the goal is to disrupt social cohesion, undermine trust, and create an environment conducive to manipulation or control.

Other terms that might be used to describe this concept include:

- *Social manipulation*
- *Psychological operations*
- *Information warfare*
- *Divisive politics*
- *Polarisation tactics*

Overall, the use of divide and conquer as a political strategy can have significant psychological and social impacts, making it a powerful tool for those who wield it.

The British Empire's expansion and maintenance were indeed facilitated by the divide and conquer strategy. By exploiting existing divisions, creating new ones, and manipulating local populations, they were able to establish and maintain control over vast territories. This strategy allowed them to:

- Play different groups against each other
- Weaken potential opposition
- Maintain a strong grip on power
- Extract resources and exploit local labour

The legacy of this strategy can still be seen here at home, in OUR beloved Great Britain and many other parts of the world, including the social, economic, and cultural dynamics of formerly colonised countries. Understanding this history can help us better navigate the complexities of global politics and work towards more equitable and just societies.
