"Typically, imperial powers depend on the inability of oppressed local populations to muster a unified resistance, and the most successful occupiers are skilled at exploiting the differences among the occupied. Certainly that was the story of the British Empire's success, and its legacy of nurtured local hatreds can be seen wherever the Union Flag flew, from Muslim-Hindu hatred in Pakistan and India, to Catholic-Protestant hatred in Ireland, to, yes, Jew-Arab, hatred in modern Israel. Ancient Rome was as good at encouraging internecine resentments among the occupied as Britain ever was."["Constantine's Sword" by James P. Carroll]
Whenever there is an urge to divide suspect a tactic of domination, of politics where there is no room for the heart. It is also the mark of a primitive method for undermining sovereignty, in this case the sovereignty of the romanian language on its own land.

[patriotismul] e un fel de suferinta crestata dureros pe grinzi de suflet vechi si de credinta
aud si vad, citesc si tac, cuprins de-o sila ancestrala, plang, de rusine c-am fost dac, si c-am ajuns acum zabala, in gura stirba a nu stiu cui care-mi molfaie mandria, si-mi bate lacrimile-n cui, si-mi rastigneste poezia.
