Using existence of enemies
Description
Using the existence of enemies involves strategically identifying, emphasizing, or even creating adversaries to unify groups, motivate action, or justify policies. This approach channels collective energy against a common threat, clarifies group identity, and can mobilize resources or support for specific objectives. Practically, it remedies apathy, internal division, or lack of direction by focusing attention and effort on overcoming or countering the perceived enemy, thereby advancing organizational or societal goals.
