Looking back on history, we see violence going all the way back. People are ruled, then then rise up against the ruler or they invade or defend their nation. It seems to me that even though there is a temporary boost to freedom through such uprisings, in the long term, it doesn't change anything. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today because there have been so many wars for freedom and religion previously, surely things would have been fixed by now? And think about who does all the dieing during these uprisings. It's always a bunch of peasants killing a bunch of other peasants. I think things are intentionally engineered to get us to kill each other and destroy ourselves as much as possible. It starts with polarization into two sides, then a provocation to get them to fight each other. We have to figure out a way to break the pattern that's been occurring for thousands of years.
