I agree with the issue people have with 'religious zealots' they sometimes sell peace but very often they offer something totally different, civil conflict, regression, the spread of radicals and war.
Once towns and cities get to a certain size Mars might start to import Earth's political conflicts even if it does not wish so. Indian Hindu culture might have access to space, the Identity of islamics or jihad culture or the muslim tradition is expanding in space. Some conflicts have repeated on Earth, a nation like France had a period of success being secular but now it burns and has riots. In Japan a country once known for expansionism and imperialism it once had an older period of civil war with the pro-Shinto Mononobe clan, led by Mononobe and the pro-Buddhist Soga clan. Across Africa the Fula or Fulani-jihadis were a series of jihads that occurred across West Africa during the 18th and 19th centuries, led largely by the Muslim Fula people, the arrival of European Naval Power and Colonization gave Africa a new problem to focus on but also disrupted the jihads. The Ethiopian–Adal War or Abyssinian-Adal War, a military conflict between the Christian Ethiopian Empire and the Muslim Adal Sultanate. The recent wars of the Balkans has been talked and historical noted as part of religious wars between the Orthodox, Catholic and Muslim populations of former Yugoslavia. For a strange reason there is no consensus among historical scholars on what triggered the Lebanese Civil War, it might have struggled with issues all the way back to Ottoman rule but a lot of people would agree the arrival of lots and lots of islamics and jihad bombings destroyed the 'Paris of the Middle East', the conflict played out along three religious lines Sunni Muslim, Christian Lebanese and Shiite Muslim, it also had populations of Atheist, Jewish and Druze. Inside Lebanon there was gangster warfare, during the civil war, Lebanon turned into one of the world's largest narcotics producers, with much of the hashish production centered in the Bekaa valley, the drug hash, is a herb made by compressing and processing parts of the cannabis plant. An expanding aggressive culture replaces the older one, the Thucydides Trap, or Thucydides' Trap, is a term popularized by an American political scientist to describe an apparent tendency towards war when an emerging power threatens to displace an existing great power as a regional or international hegemonic rule, the expanding islamic breeds and gangsters openly make threat to displace a ruling French civilization one, they accuse them of police brutality and yet the most likely outcome is war? The older political philosophy of such a 'Trap' is based on a quotation of ancient Athenian historian and military general Thucydides, in which he posited that the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta had been inevitable. However it is also possible that bad rules and idiots also talk themselves into the next 'War'. In the past in Lebanon politics, France/USA and Saddam were close for a brief time, Saddam Hussein helped General Aoun as Lebanon got worse Aoun fled to the French Embassy in Beirut, and later into exile in Paris. He was not able to return until May 2005, he served as the President of Lebanon from October 2016 until October 2022, in year 2019, the country descended into another period of financial chaos with a popular uprising. Nobody is sure what started Lebanon's internal conflicts, it has roots going back a long time, it was also the Cold War, there was also outside influence from players in the region such as the French, Arabs, Israel, Syria and Iran.
and now the French will get censored?? Say goodbye to Freedom of Speech in France?

Things seem to be getting more politically charged, there is growing extremism and partisan and class and identity conflict. The rise of another war, Putin in Russia attempts at expanding influence by invasion, war and death, sometimes one might wonder if humanity has failed to evolved beyond war and greed.
People can also have an oppressive government that claims they are totally safe but they are not truly Free and Safe.
China for example may class themselves as 'safe' for Chinese citizens but they have very high levels of Road Deaths and Industrial Factory Accidents with less concern for safety standards, the are no longer ruled by an Emperor and everyone goes on this technological jump forward an idea pushed by the Unitary one-party socialist republic.
