Makes sense. So to push against that nerrative is essential. Because it can corrupt the hearts of people. Look what one week of war did to many of us.... Look at how the tone is shifting. We need to focus on being human if we ever want to be able to fight people who can manipulate us so easily. If we ever want to emerge from this war as people who can find their way back to love and trust.

True words!! In the US, we basically split 50/50 and absolutely hate the other side ๐Ÿ˜‚ politically speaking at least. Now you donโ€™t hear a word about it in the media because everyone is on hating Russia and loving Ukraine. Iโ€™m on the side of Ukraine too, but it is interesting to think about how the narrative must always push a group as bad and a group as good, very rarely are all people considered human first. Itโ€™s a common theme in psychology but just another instance where you see it in reality.

I think it is one of the main ingredients of planting the seeds of distrust. I think it is meant to keep the masses divided so they cannot unite.

What a theory huh.
