⁣A society becomes civilized when it has a resolution method for impasses
that develop between 2 parties. In the West we call these courts.
When courts become corrupted and no longer allow both parties to be ON
THE RECORD, that society is no longer civilized but ruled by way of
threat, coercion, and force. It is the same for any dispute. If one
party (entity/Nation) does not allow the other party’s or their own true
identity to be recognized (not hidden/secret) OR their intent, this is
no longer a civilized matter, but one dealt with via revolution and/or
war.

Many key areas on Earth have a permanent MARK on them where 2
parties did not resolve their issues before said parties passed on.
These 2 parties have to keep returning to that spot in future lifetimes
until they make it ‘good.’
In the Times of ol’ the term was--“a Proving Grounds.” --A Prison Planet??
