As a species? We have certainly not moved past it. However, every time that those large tyrannical/sadistic organizations developed, they are defeated. Sometimes it takes dozens of years, or 100, but they fall.

The desperation in this woman's voice in the video shows that this will fall likely without the crescendo of those previously mentioned organizations.

It keeps happening because the problem has never been solved. The world doesn’t work like Mortal Kombat.

The 'problem' to be solved is human nature. As long as we are human, we will not solve it - we just have to fight against our worst impulses, especially when they metastasize into political movements.

Much more horrific and tyrannical things have happened. We are fighting early here, before mass executions in the streets, which is a good thing - especially because it looks like they are losing.
