The Gods of War: The Real Battle Was Never Between Us

They want you to think it’s us vs. us.
That the fight is between left and right, black and white, rich and poor.
That it’s every man for himself.

They tell you the enemy is your neighbor, your coworker, the guy who votes differently, the people who look different, think different, live different.
They want you distracted. Divided. Distrusting.

Because as long as we’re fighting each other, we’re not fighting them.

The ones who profit from chaos.
The ones who sell war while never bleeding in it.
The ones who sit at the top and make sure the people at the bottom never find common ground.

It’s the same playbook......stoke fear, manufacture enemies, keep the cycle moving.

And we fall for it.
Over and over again.

Because when you’re taught to see your brother as the enemy, you never stop to ask - 
Who told me that?
And why did they want me to believe it?

We have to stop killing each other.

Not just in the streets.
Not just with guns.
Not just with violence.

We have to stop tearing each other apart with division, with distrust, with narratives that were never ours to begin with.

Because the real war?
It was never between us.

And the second we figure that out?
The Gods of War lose.

We’re going to find out what happens when we stop killing each other and hating each other for no reason. When we stop playing their game. When we remember that we were never enemies to begin with.

And we won’t be finding out alone.
