It is an odd interpretation. But as you say pertinent, but the defeatism has to stop. I think people are waking up. Educate others, hold debate on how we have been conditioned.
Rich nations with affluence can be quite a passive places, we need to get people back to being comfortable with dissent and the status quo delivered from it's challenge.
That's a thing worth making mainstream. So much has been lost.
... lost in recent like 20 years, in my childhood dissent was far more normal than now. I think it's social media, but also the commonly pursued concept of what's socially respectable, solid and real.
And dissent is, by normalization, what allows peace in society.
Truly, but also by extension, tolerance makes for a more civilized society. Especially for the different.
