"The job of the newspaper is to make [the enemy] an 'it', rather than a 'thou'. "
--Joseph Campbell
By making the enemy an "it" rather than a "thou", whether "it" be The Democrats, Liberals, Illegal Aliens, Communists, Muslims, people of other races than your own, whatever "it" may be, they are then dehumanized, and thus we can deny our kinship with them and engage in the illusion that our hatred and persecution of "it" is somehow justifiable.
Our world, and particularly our country is eaten up with this fallacy, that "The Russians" or "The Muslims" or whatever group, isn't really just like us. Human beings with the same needs, wants, and faults and flaws that we have. And the governments LOVE this.
It makes us so easy to manipulate.WARNING: The above post may contain thoughts or ideas known to the State of Caliphornia to cause seething rage, confusion, distemper, nausea, perspiration, sphincter release, or cranial implosion to persons who implicitly trust only one news source, or find themselves at either the left or right political extreme.

"I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity. I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not - more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving."
~ Beverly Sills ~
