re: People have been destroyed

The realization that people on both sides are political ideologues -- uncompromising and dogmatic to their loaded ideology.

Politics today is what religion was 500+ years ago.

-Political parties unify large groups
-create/control the echo chamber
-outline and prapogate values/lifestyles
-seperate populations by values/lifestyles
-cannot seamlessly co-exist with other "parties."

Look at the world today. It's the capitalist "religion" vs the communist "religion" for global power and influence. A Cold War due to assured mutual destruction, but the good vs evil narrative for both sides.
Same goes for political differences domestically.

Like Rome based its empire on spreading Catholicism, USA/UN and Russia/China spread and unite through capitalism and communism.

People should research Catholic vs Protestant in 17th century Europe. In a less educated era religions served the purpose political parties do today.

This is not a shot at religion.
