When exactly have people been civilized? During the Stone age? In ancient Greece and Rome, when wars were common thing, when pedophilia was one of the rich people's entertainment? Or maybe during the Middle Age, when people hardly had anything to eat, when people were burnt for thinking logically? Or maybe it was during the modern age, when there were two world wars started for stupidest of reasons?
Oh, so you know, violence has always existed in books and in people's life, so what? Who was to blame for that? Illuminati? Did they existed 2000 years ago? 1000 years ago? You simply lack idea of the past period and thing that the current one is the worst and "evilest".
Now, on topic, I do believe that the world is controlled, media is controlled, politics are controlled, but that doesn't mean that they mean you any "evil". Of course, what is exactly evil?
