Humanity's problems are made possible by mass-scale manipulation, and mass-scale manipulation is made possible by us-vs-them beliefs. If people weren't being aggressively manipulated into consenting to the status quo they would have used the power of their numbers to end the status quo a long time ago. Divide-and-conquer isn't just useful because it prevents people from unifying against their oppressors, it also pours rocket fuel on the oppressors' propaganda machine.
