People have very little ability to apply historical events to present day. Studying what led to various outcomes is one thing and most can understand and appreciate that unrest and violence has led to most change in society (as peaceful and calm measures generally lead to nothing) but they hate seeing it in present day, in their lives, so they assign a negative value to it and chastise it as negative and useless. It's fascinating.
