Divide and Conquer is the Devil’s Strategy, a deceptive tactic designed to create division, confusion, and conflict among people.
By turning individuals and groups against each other—dividing them by race, gender, ideology, and social status—this strategy ensures that true unity remains impossible.
Instead of recognizing the real forces working behind the scenes, people become too consumed with arguing, blaming, and fighting one another.
This endless conflict creates the perfect environment for those in power to manipulate, control, and maintain their dominance without resistance.
The real question is, are we blindly falling into this trap, allowing ourselves to be deceived, or will we wake up and see the bigger picture?
Divide and Conquer: The Strategy Behind Our Division
Have you noticed how the world today is filled with endless arguments over the smallest things? Issues that shouldn’t even be discussed anymore are still being debated, triggering people to take sides and fight. These seemingly minor issues divide us—by gender, ethnicity, age, ideology, and whatever else they can use to separate us.
I believe this isn’t just a coincidence or the work of a few ordinary individuals. This division is orchestrated by powerful, influential people with the means to amplify these minor issues.
The Purpose? Power and Control
It’s easy to manipulate human emotions. A slight push on sensitive topics, and people react instantly.
Manipulating human emotions is easier than most people realize.
A subtle nudge on a sensitive topic, a carefully placed statement, or a strategically shared piece of content can trigger an immediate and intense reaction.
People become defensive, angry, or deeply emotional without fully understanding the bigger picture.
Instead of thinking critically, they react instinctively, often playing right into the hands of those who seek to control and divide them.
Historically, one of the first major division was based on social status. Since the beginning of time, the powerful and wicked have separated society into the rich and the poor—because wealth is the easiest way to divide people.
But today, they have taken it further. Instead of just rich versus poor, they have now added a middle class, creating even more divisions. After all, the more fragmented society is, the easier it is to control.
One example is cultural appropriation, where people from different ethnic backgrounds get offended when others adopt aspects of their culture.
For instance, some members of the black community feel that braiding hair is exclusive to them and criticize other ethnicities for doing it.
Naturally, other groups argue that braids have existed across various cultures worldwide. Should ponies claim ownership over ponytails, too? hahaha!
This escalates further when someone retaliates with, “Then why do you dye your hair blonde when you’re not naturally blonde?” or “But how is it okay for Beyonce to be blonde?”
And just like that, a pointless argument spirals out of control over something that shouldn’t even be an issue.
This kind of conflict doesn’t just happen with black people—it occurs across different ethnic groups, where individuals are hated simply because of race or culture.
Social Media: Fueling the Divide
Many users on X.com (formerly Twitter) actively fuel division by sharing videos meant to provoke anger and hostility between different races.
For example, some black social media influencers engage in controversial actions in foreign countries, sometimes even getting arrested.
But it’s not just them—white people are also shown in a negative light to provoke outrage.
However, after reading a comment from a Japanese User, I discovered that in this video, the Japanese person was actually the wrongdoer, while the Black individual was innocent.
Isn’t this post just an act of spreading hate?
Likewise, migrant-related controversies are spreading. Some videos show migrants causing trouble in foreign lands, but think about it—if you were a migrant in another country, would you deliberately stir up chaos? If these incidents are real, the bigger question is why they are happening, who is behind them, and why these groups seem so organized.
Take the Black Lives Matter movement, for instance. How many controversies have surrounded it? If you look closely, the media often highlights black and Middle Eastern groups. Perhaps because they know these ethnicities are easier to manipulate, given their history of being involved in negative stereotypes.
Of course, many individuals from these backgrounds are good and decent people, but the spread of hate ensures that even the innocent get dragged into the conflict.
And since society is already divided by ethnicity, they moved on to gender.
The Gender War
To be honest, I find the concept of modern feminism confusing. Throughout history, men have done many things to make women happy, even at their own expense. Doesn’t that already mean men are pro-women?
One major feminist claim is the wage gap, which has been debunked multiple times.
They focus on high-paying jobs, where salaries are determined by experience and value to the company, not gender.
Another claim is that women don’t qualify for top-paying positions due to discrimination. But I doubt this.
Some jobs naturally favor one gender over another—this isn’t about equality but about practicality.
Take modeling, for example. Even the top male models earn far less than female models. Yet, have you ever heard of men protesting this wage gap?
Similarly, in nursing, caregiving, customer service, and hospitality, men struggle to enter these fields even if they want to. But feminists only focus on high-paying jobs where hiring decisions are based on experience, network, and potential profit, rather than gender.
And since gender isn’t divided enough, they introduced LGBTQ activism. What was once a peaceful community is now being used as another tool for division.
Before, even though they were gay, they still recognized that they were men, and the same went for women. But now, because of all these issues, the question “What is a woman?” has suddenly emerged—something that shouldn’t even be up for debate or discussion in the first place.
Religion: The Oldest Division
Religious division has existed for centuries, and I believe it is one of the major sources of division in the world. Countless religious groups claim that they are the one true faith.
Until the Lord returns, the world will never unite under one God. And even when He does, many will still reject Him and grow even more hostile.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
“They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”
When Opinions Fuel Division
Our divisions are worsening, fueled by content creators who spread their opinions without considering that their words only escalate conflicts.
What drives them first is their emotions—and, of course, the desire to gain more followers.
After all, fame is money. But with everything they say, they’re not actually solving the division in the world; instead, they’re only triggering people even more.
Colossians 2:8“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.”
The Ultimate Goal: Divide and Conquer
This strategy is highly effective because it prevents unity, weakens resistance, and makes it easier to manipulate groups. Those in power—whether governments, corporations, or elites—have used this tactic for centuries to control populations.
If people are divided, they cannot organize effectively against real oppression. Instead of fighting the true oppressors, they fight each other, wasting energy on internal conflicts.
So, if you think those posts on social media—especially on X.com—are just random, think again. Why are there so many? Why are they so deliberately triggering?
The internet has replaced television as the primary tool for programming people’s minds. If you lack discernment, it will easily control you.
Proverbs 14:15 “The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.”
I’m not saying we should stop using the internet or social media, but we need to filter what we consume. The world needs unity, not more division.
1 Corinthians 1:10
“I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.”
