Cold civilization

After watching the movie "City Square" , I feel that after

a civilization matures, it will develop a comfortable, systematic and aristocratic group that is nourished and even nurtured by its civilization, and when this civilization exists in a hierarchical society (national , a natural hierarchical system), there must be groups that cannot be understood and cannot be actively nourished and protected by civilization, such as slaves and even the civilian class, who gradually form a new collective, influenced by new forces that resist the existing civilization The influence of thought, and then formed by the leaders of early enlightenment. They rebelled against it and intended to bury the original civilization.
In the same social group, mature civilizations are destroyed by savage forces, and savages will eventually evolve into new civilizations. We can't over-whitewash the civilization that has been formed, and there is no reason to despair about the current barbarism, because the human beings on earth are in a civilized society until they are truly destroyed. ... Destroy, rebuild, enjoy, destroy again, rebuild, enjoy again... Existing civilization has never benefited everyone... Sadness is inevitable.
