A politician divides mankind into two classes: tools and enemies. — Friedrich Nietzsche

A politician divides mankind into two classes: tools and enemies.

Author: Friedrich Nietzsche

Insight: Politicians often see people as either useful or threatening—not as complex humans. You notice this whenever someone in power dismisses anyone who disagrees as an "enemy," treating compromise as weakness. It's a reminder to stay skeptical of leaders who can't seem to find common ground.
