The world divides itself into classes and hierarchy systems automatically. As soon as any country was founded in history, placements were made on the people based on wealth, status, and popularity. The difference between the majority of people in every class always led to immeasurable anger, disgust, and resentment from all sides.
The richest look down on the lower classes like they are trash bags, and the lower classed people stare up at the high class people in twisted rage and malice from the mistreatment they receive from the powerful. It is an endless cycle that appears, grows, and never truly dies.
Some do claim to be different, to not judge others based on social and wealth standings. However, whether it happens without a person’s notice, or if it does and they don’t care, most people feel that judgment based off the class system. It’s something that never fully goes away, an undying prejudice inside everyone’s heart at some point.
But the question is this: is there truly a way to kill off the prejudice? No, there isn’t. But, there might be a way to make it so the only prejudice based on class takes form only in a person’s mind, and never actions or words. Some say they have that answer, which is having an open mind and trying to understand everyone, but that is nothing more than optimism.

No, the answer isn’t being empathetic and trying to understand everyone, because no person can ever fully understand every aspect of another person. Why? Because they aren’t that person. But the true answer to keeping the prejudice only in the mind is one thing: control. And what is the best way to control people and make them not try to step out of line? Fear.
Give the people a reason to fear doing or saying anything against someone of a different class only for the reason of them being in a different class, and if the fear is strong enough, no one will dare to put their judgment into actions or words. Make them fear for their lives and they will follow like the most docile sheep in existence.
So, what would happen if a person made it their mission to put the mortal fear required to end any interclass conflict aside from inside the mind into the eyes of the entire world? And how would one do such a feat? The answer is simple, have a “God would approve despite its obvious evil actions required to make happen” reason, and go to lengths almost no one else would ever dare to go anywhere near. Take it to the “too far” that society sees, but still isn’t far enough.
