We are dealing here with more than the wonder when faced with the unknown, certainty of the shape of the Earth, the fact that we are on a circumnavigatable planet, and therefore finite etc. Thus it is possible, at this moment in history, to affirm with certainty that there exists a humanity born free and a humanity born slaves, minorities, victims and repressed. The former can manhandle the latter as he wishes. The latter is utterly terrestrial, and not only logically. They have always been at the whim of the first.
War is waged, either voluntarily or involuntarily, against the enemy.
In the Americas, Africa , and Australia there are no enemies, only humanimals, slaves-victims, forever waiting to see themselves defeated. Montezuma and the Aztecs waited for the return of Quetzalcoaltl and they found him in Cortez. The so-called spiritual Power, is no longer in conflict with the Imperial power and, apart from Europe, the powers of the enemy Islam. It now converts the subjugated to a universal religion that conciliates them with the free and powerful. It looks after them, because all men are equal in the eyes of God ,and therefore, in the after life.
