    My point is that it’s literally happening again right now. Why can’t it be stopped? Someone please tell me.

      The problem I fear is always a spiritual one.

      Materialism and spiritualism are polar opposities with the latter being the one that one incentivises someone to act in the face of death.

      For the former, armies could be carpet bombing their house into the dirt and if they still feel more attached to what little wealth he has, he may very well fight for that wealth on the side of tyrants.

      For the latter, they could lose everything down to their very bones, but if there’s so long as a single breath that remains, they would use it against the injustice set upon them.

      It’s difficult to unify people to even achieve something in an hour, let alone divorce them of their belongings for a higher cause.
