Right, yes. The divide and conquer trick. Why didn’t I think of that?
Ohhh, that’s right. Because it’s not going to work.
What you see as divisions in most cases is more accurately known as diversity, which is really the positive spin-off of the same basic concept. I mean, yeah, alright, every human has a squabble with another one, and occasionally it’ll escalate into something more serious. But as a whole race, at the very heart of what being human means, there’s that unity. That togetherness. Everybody’s different, true enough, and that’s good, healthy. It encourages progress and growth and furthering the future and all those other inspiring ideals. If everyone got along completely - agreed on everything, liked everything that everyone else liked, and so forth, what would be the point? The whole of humanity would stagnate and crumble and just waste away. Diversity is good. And that’s what you’ve got with the human race, to a really remarkable extent. It’s fascinating to watch.
So, here’s what you’ve got, essentially. Human heart - unity. Outward manifestation - diversity. Humans faced with problems - well, it can vary. I’ll even acknowledge your point here and go with divisions in points of view rather than the other option. That becomes disputes and disagreements and sometimes escalates into bad things like civil and international wars.
But when you threaten the whole of the entire human race, without stopping to single out one specific group, it’s the whole human race that’s going to react. And that’s when you’ve got a problem. Because if every human sees a bunch of metal monstrosities coming after their planet, they’re not going to waste a whole lot of time fighting each other when there’s a much much much bigger problem coming down through the atmosphere. And if there’s one race you don’t want to have all united against you, it’s the people of Earth.
Also, have I mentioned that they don’t like it when someone else interferes with a problem that’s already being nicely thrashed out without anyone else’s encouragement? That’s really far more likely to get all involved parties jumping on your stubby neck than exacerbating the actual issue.
So. Just the way I see it, then. Obviously I don’t think any of this is going to have a whole lot of impact on your plans, but it’s nice of me to let you know how things stand, isn’t it?
Ouch, being nice to a Dalek. That’s a change. Remind me to warn myself next time I’m going to do that, I think I feel a bit of indigestion coming on….
