Here's the thing. They LIKED the dark ages. That mindset has not changed in centuries. They don't mind the suffering. The whole point is to make EVERYONE suffer because they have been taught that suffering "gives our life meaning." This belief often held in both right and left wing circles. Ask a hungry, cold and homeless child if their suffering gives their life meaning. Ask a grieving parent of a child shot to death in school, if that loss gives their life meaning. As a woman bleeding out because she can't get medical care in a red state, because it might harm a handful of cells called a fetus, if that suffering gives her life meaning. As people working 2-3 jobs and still not making it if that suffering gives their life meaning. The Buddhists say, "Pain in life is inevitable, but suffering is optional." We have decided on a social system and religious belief that makes both pain AND suffering inevitable.
