* Parodied in ''[[Monty Python's Life of Brian]]'', where the splinter groups against the Romans [[We ARE Struggling Together!|hated each other as much as the Romans]]. While this was originally intended as a satire on the increasingly-fractured British Left in the late '70s (the Pythons were all for [[British Political System|Labour]] at the time, although [[John Cleese]] has since become a Lib Dem), it turns out that the Jews in Jesus' day really were quite fractured and always squabbling against themselves instead of the Romans.
* The page quote is from ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''.
** Obi-Wan's reply, incidentally, is, "Only a Sith deals in absolutes." While he did get a lot of flak from fans by replying with what is, in itself, an absolute statement, the point he makes is valid - such a black-and-white all-or-nothing manner of thinking is a dangerous path that only evil men would approve of.
* In ''[[Ben-Hur]]'', this mentality is what drove Messala to sentence Judah Ben-Hur to slavery. Messala wanted his friend Ben-Hur to turn in the Jews who were speaking against him and the Roman occupation. Ben-Hur refuses, so Messala tells him, "You're either with me or you're against me." Ben-Hur replies, "If those are my choices, then I am against you."
* ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'': Colonel Miles Quaritch while fighting Jake Sully at the climactic battle of The Tree of Souls.
