Slavery is when your rulers (or their apparatchiks) tell you who your enemy is. Freedom is when you decide who the enemy is. ~ Source Unknown
Having animosity directed 'out there' at 'them' or 'that guy' is the best way for the Party to maintain mental control of its power base. This has been perfected in the two-party system--a perpetual power structure where liberation is always just around the corner but never arrives. Keeping the people riled up in a state of constant fear and hatred is key to the perpetuation of this system. Orwell illustrated this system in his book, 1984.
"The political purpose of the Two Minutes Hate is to allow the citizens of Oceania to vent their existential anguish and personal hatred toward politically expedient enemies: Goldstein and the enemy super-state of the moment. In re-directing the members' subconscious feelings away from the Party's governance of Oceania and toward non-existent external enemies, the Party minimises thoughtcrime and the consequent subversive behaviours of thoughtcriminals."

"The "Two-minutes Hate" is a ritual in George Orwell's novel 1984 where citizens gather to express their rage and hatred towards the party's enemies, primarily represented by Emmanuel Goldstein. The Hate is used as a means of manipulation and control, fostering loyalty and unity among the people. Hating Goldstein is important because it redirects the citizens' emotions and prevents them from questioning the party's policies."

"The Party's scapegoating of Goldstein justifies the voiding of civil rights, the implementation of universal surveillance, and perpetual scarcity. Save for The Party's cultivation of a vague, but fervent, patriotism for Oceania, the Proles are excluded from the politics of Oceania, and only members of the Inner Party concern themselves with the existence or the non-existence of Emmanuel Goldstein and The Brotherhood ..."
