They (Conservative Christian White Men) have been trying to get rid of that for decades because on a long enough path, you get to see that one of the biggest causes of pain and suffering in this world for the past 100 years is their burning desire to conquer everything they see and bend it to their will.
Why do you think they've been trying to remove The Middle Passage from American educational curriculums and tilt that whole period in world history as African tribes selling their enemies to the White man?
I just wish people would make better connections. Most don’t get why they’ve been brainwashed into thinking communism is evil. (Not saying it’s perfect). But the connection to all of this is there...along with the Western sacred, gender roles, global economy, power structures.
It all started from human greed. Did you know many researchers trace the concept of a “king” or community leader back to prehistoric groups holding feasts? These feasts were supposed to display the amount of food surplus one person had. It was discouraged among early populations for simple pragmatic reasons (not to mention the waste) that hoarding (greed) leads to corruption, scarcity of resources for others, conflict over that scarcity, and then an inability to continue to survive b/c now precious human energy is wasted over that conflict. War and famine go together.
Basically our earliest ancestors were smarter than we are now with all our “civilization” in recognizing that socially catering to these psychopathic personality traits (greed, arrogance, pride, violence, hoarding) leads to the downfall of humanity. And that’s what we see now currently.
And yeah, religion has come to play a HUGE role in perpetuating this shyt even though it’s earliest conception and purpose was the exact opposite.
