“Our” government does not want asabiyyah because they serve foreign masters, so Divide et Impera is the name of their game. It's ingenious because they select aggrieved demographics and psyop them into adopting a group identity patterned after narcissistic personality disorder and then use them as shock troops against their fellow proles. This leaves everyone else with a Catch-22: either make “peace” with the Marxcissists (by agreeing to be second-class citizens relative to them and constantly validate their ego trips), which renders us unable to fight back against the regime's depredations, or fight the regime and our fellow psyopped proles at the same time (and because the proles are thus divided, it undermines our ability to fight back against the regime's depredations). Wickedly ingenious.

I had to look up "asabiyyah." Your comment reminds of when Neo is getting trained by Morpheus: “The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy.”
