This is some essential reading. You are obviously a highly gifted intellectual living at just the right time in history to pen such a beautiful article. In my view, there is nothing you say that can be disputed as my many associations in life with people of all ethnic backgrounds has demonstrated. There are always going to be rotten ideas that create rot in the minds of others who are easily manipulated. The goal, it seems to me, is to try and educate the misinformed with love in the heart and hope that God will give us the strength to stand up to the hate. My hat is off to you and I pray your words will reach those isolated by their own culture.
Totally and absolutely agree with your premise: "we are all being programmed to hate each other in order to make it easier for a global system to identify and control us by dividing us into factions." I am commenting merely at your invitation - to help the algorithm! Although I would add one thing, that racism is merely one aspect of noticing a difference, which is a primitive response to ensure readiness in the face of threat. People can be bullied, picked on, stigmatised, excluded and so on for all sorts of visible difference - not just skin colour. Obviously, it is less evolved humans who will do this, acting out their primitive response.
I think there’s a perfect storm of “isms” fighting for control of America. All really bad ideas. Marxism and socialism which always lead to totalitarianism, everyone is equal but some are more equal as Orwell put it. They have failed throughout history. It just doesn’t work. Then you have globalism. The open borders crowd who believe it creates a more just and caring world. That people should be able to flow freely just like goods. Well we’ve witnessed all the problems that open borders create first hand not to mention do we really want an international group of unelected bureaucrats regulating everything we do. I really don’t want to eat bugs. Then we have radical Islamism. I’m a woman so I don’t want to live under Sharia Law and be thrust back into the Dark Ages. Then there’s Communism. China is just sitting back and watching us destroy ourselves from within and all without firing a single weapon.
I totally agree that we are being manipulated. I see so many vile racist posts and have often wondered are these even real people? My mind automatically goes to China being behind this but it’s entirely possible the 3 letter government agencies are behind it too. Divide and conquer is a page right out of the Marxist playbook. And what is going on with the sudden influx of immigrants in every Western white majority country in the world all the sudden? It’s not like a naturally occurring thing because it seems like the scale is just too great in such a short amount of time. Anyways, it’s one of the best notes I have read in a very long time!
Much of the world is on fire with anger. But, as individuals, we can resist flawed yet normalized human/societal nature thus behavior; and if enough people do this and perform truly humane acts, positive change on a large(r) scale may result.
Perhaps somewhat relevant to this are the words of American sociologist Stanley Milgram, of Obedience Experiments fame/infamy: “It may be that we are puppets — puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception [and] awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation.”
Still, could it be that the human race so desperately needs a unifying fate-determining common cause, that an Earth-impacting asteroid threat or, better yet, a vicious extraterrestrial attack is what we have to collectively brutally endure in order to survive the longer term from ourselves?
Humanity would all unite for the first time ever to defend against, attack and defeat the humanicidal multi-tentacled ETs, the latter needing to be an even greater nemesis than our own formidably divisive politics and perceptions of differences, both real and perceived — especially those involving race and nationality.
During this much-needed human alliance, we’d be forced to work closely side-by-side together and experience thus witness just how humanly similar we are in the ways that really count. [Then again, I was told that one or more human parties might actually attempt to forge an alliance with the ETs to better their own chances for survival, thus indicating that our deficient human condition may be even worse than I had originally thought.]
Yet, maybe some five or more decades later when all traces of the nightmarish ET invasion are gone, we'll inevitably revert to those same politics to which we humans seem so collectively hopelessly prone — including those of scale: the intercontinental, international, national, provincial or state, regional and municipal. And again we slide downwards.

Post Script: Before non-Caucasian people became the primary source of newcomers to North America, thick-accented Eastern Europeans were the main targets of meanspirited Anglo-Saxon bigotry. As a thick-accented/broken-English 1950s Eastern-European immigrant to Canada, my (now-late) father experienced such mistreatment. Therefore, hypothetically, if Canada and the U.S. were to revert back to a primarily-white populace, if not some VDARE whites-only 'utopia', I wouldn't be surprised if Eastern Europeans with a thick slavic accent would inevitably again become the main target of bigotry within the dominant Euro-Canadian/American ethnicity/populace.

Thank you for the kind words Dave and for taking the time to read the article. God bless.

Agreed. Thanks Bettina!

Thank you Janis! And yes…wayyy too much of a coincidence.
Thank you for writing this and trying to push back on the divisions 🙏
Hey thank you George! 💪🏾
