This is Renegade Files Episode 89, Us vs. Them: How To Choose Neither in a Divided World.
When speaking about the two political parties in Jamaica, Bob Marley asked, “How can something that divides us, ever bring us together?”
Our current political system is no different.
And if you imagine that one side is good, and the other side is bad, then you have fallen for their trap of division, that pretends to seek your support for one side, but in reality, only seeks your participation, in the division.
But the Us-versus-Them mindset runs far deeper than DNC and GOP—it’s written into our history, our psychology, even our myths.
On this episode we dive deep into something that’s been with us since the very beginning of human consciousness—an invisible force that shapes how we see each other, how we form groups, and how we so often end up declaring war on one another: The Us-Versus-Them Mentality.
And as mentioned, this isn’t just politics, although politics thrives on it. It’s not just religion, though religion wrote some of its earliest and most compelling scripts. And it’s not merely human nature, although it’s wired into the ways we have evolved.
And yet, it’s deeper than all of this.
In a world built on sides, what happens if we refuse to play the game? This episode unravels the ancient roots of division and explores a third path to clarity and peace. In this episode, we’ll uncover why the world divides us—and how, together, you and I can rise above that divide.
If that sounds good to you, then come with me now into Renegade Files Episode 89, Us vs. Them: How To Choose Neither in a Divided World.
