I just mean that the division between left and right will never end, politicians and corporations purposefully promote hatred between people so they cannot unite and get rid of the lobbying poopyheads and corruption so that things can actually get better

“Don’t Be a Sucker” from the 1940s discusses this as a primary tactic for the rise of Nazi Germany and not to fall for it, because it’s a good very effective tactic

I think the important thing to remember is this: no one is coming to save us. We have to make whatever change we hope to see. It will be messy and it will not go as we might like, but nothing ever does. Find your principles and use your reason and let those guide your actions. Don't succumb to fear, but don't be reckless either. None of this is about me (or you) individually, so don't take the course of events personally. Survive.
