Which do you guys think come first?
Initial/Underlaying nationalism, idealism, ethics, etc that those in the upper class/authoritative figures take advantage of?
Or is it that there are those want power and authority and propagate these things?
Some argue that the New Testament was written and revised strategically with politics in mind.
Have there ever been wars that have been purely about idealism, ethics, hatred, etc?
Is it that these wars start only from idealism, ethics, and hatred, AND THEN somebody comes in to take advantage of it?
Chicken or the egg.
