We will still stay on more serious world events. In the past, nations wage war against nations, against violent dictators or even against ideology.

Currently in New York hundreds of thousands of rally participants are shouting "Out with the 1%,out with the fat cat bankers, out with neo- liberalism!"
Surprisingly, these huge rallies are intrinsically peaceful and carefully planned not to be violent but seemingly an irreversible show of people power.
