So much of it is because everything from the concept of workers rights, to civil disobedience and protesting, all the way to armed insurgence is taught as only valid in history.
They were only necessary in the past. Never in the present of future. Now you must always comply with every state as though their rule of law is just and paramount.
The state holds the monopoly on violence to achieve its means, and it is always just; always the will of the people.
This is how it's always been, in every society and generation. The status quo is always upheld as the common good until it is not.
The ends justify the means. Not an excuse to abandon morality. A lesson in the order of political operations.
The means are never justified until the end.
I call it the cult of civility, basically folks buy into the idea that civility is a virtue rather than a tool and thusly the counter tool that being savagery atrophies in society. It's partially why I am so openly bloodthirsty, I want to put dents and cracks into this dead end concept of civility before it fucks US all over. After all the Romans were rather civil the Ostrogoths not so much.
