Factions
Chapter 7, part 2
The tactic
Encouraging people to join small groups usually holding to extreme beliefs which creates an us vs. them mentality towards the rest of the world.
Where do we see this happening?
- ISIS
- Westboro Baptist Church
- Saul/Paul
Why is this effective?
- Creates isolation, distrust of other people and potentially hate.
- Prevents looking at issues from different perspectives.
- Christianity/religion becomes a means to the factions cause/end (ex. Saul/Paul).
