Yes, it will be much easier to be peaceful when we get rid of the fire stokers.
But, from a galactic point of view, the desire for peace has to come first.
We have a lot of people who are frustrated and want to attack others, for some reason, but need to still be seen as good.
Soooo, as people desire peace (and not just an end to a weary war. Anti-war ≠ peace) they will seek for it, and find the truth distorters, and just sweep them out of the way.
Fortunately, we are also heading for a future of much easier abundance.
Yes, I agree that the leaders need to seek peace.
Unfortunately, many people are being forced into leadership roles they aren't biologically suited for, and they thrive off of drama instead of peace. Especially if they aren't caring for children, but are rather treating social justice causes as their offspring.
Perhaps we haven't reached critical mass yet, but eventually people will be so tired of this BS that peace will be the only option left.
