And that's how the owners control us in perpetuity.

Blue collar vs white collar.

The homed vs the homeless for lowering their property values.

Red vs blue and the race wars too.

Etc.

There are only 3,000 billionaires on Earth. Extrapolate that down to people with triple digit millions in net worth, about 28,000 people on Earth worth more than 100 million, and you've found humanity's common enemies manipulating us into beating one another down when not making them more money.

Our common enemies are tiny in number, a few tens of thousands lording over billions, but they manipulate us into fighting each other.

Irish immigrants and African free men were dangerously close to joining forces against the "captains of industry" in New England. Solution? They made the Irishmen into cops.
