Supply and Demand & Divide and ConquerPosted by Darryl Schoon in Untagged   |

These two laws are the operating principles of the economic and political spheres. It is the 2nd, Divide & Conquer, which is the topic of today’s blog.
I have often wondered how the few can rule the many in a democracy. Long before electronic voting machines with proprietary software codes could do the bidding of those who wished to subvert the democratic process, Divide & Conquer was the most effective way of so doing.The current version of Divide & Conquer is clearly evident in the manipulation of the political polarities of the left and the right, the innate conservative or liberal tendencies of the electorate. Liberals embrace change and conservatives resist it.
While sometimes change is for the better, sometimes it is not. Irrespective of the merits, however, the conservative and liberal polarities each respond according to their internal tendencies to embrace or resist change.
This natural schism is exploited in the political process by those who control the electorate. They use social flashpoints to alienate and divide the people in order to divert them from pressing issues, issues that benefit the few at the expense of the many.
Politicians are used to exploit the political schisms in order to divert attention from these issues that if left unattended will destroy nations. We are far along in the process. There is not much further to go until the end—our end.
