I wouldn't want power, that will get lot of people mad at you and blaming problems on you and making more enemies.
So, it has been considered a neverending chore, to posit an external enemy, preferably a vague, subjective one, for instance --
the emotion of terror
physical imperfections in the human specie
the libido
the biological drive for inebriation
decadal changes in the weather
the anarchy, which existed prior to feudalism
illiteracy
malnutrition
poverty

Quote:
In Freudian psychology, displacement (German: Verschiebung, "shift, move") is an unconscious defense mechanism whereby the mind substitutes either a new aim or a new object for goals felt in their original form to be dangerous or unacceptable...
Among Freud's mainstream followers, Otto Fenichel highlighted the displacement of affect, either through postponement or by redirection, or both. More broadly, he considered that "in part the paths of displacement depend on the nature of the drives that are warded off".

Quote:
Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.
