The study of the use of Christianity to win ancient Rome's intra-elite conflict is very apropos today. The big lesson is that Constantine, an outsider from Britain, used Christianity to purge his political opposition and filter out the elite classes by taking advantage of a Great Religious Awakening cycle and turning it into a politicized inquisition.
Thus when you see Woke groups devour their own, don't get cocky, it just means that someone will soon figure out how to become a unifier in chief, taking the opportunity to bring various sects / cults together along a strategic path of their own choosing. The politicalization of Christianity (in its various political epochs) went the same way
