An audience wants to hear about something too good to be true, they don't want to hear about how the good guy doesn't always make things right, have a bigger penis than the bad guy, or get a girl.
The guy that would be been considered the hero was a virgin until his twenties, never drove an expensive car, and didn't have an interesting life. A movie/story about bad guys was more interesting than the good guy's real life, even if it didn't have a happy ending.

Someone who gets people's hopes up with talk about unity and peace. Someone who gives people a false sense of morale, which doesn't really do anything for them.
At least if the guy/girl who wasn't a morale booster/motivator wasn't going to do anything for anybody else, he didn't lie to them to make them feel like everything was going to be better than it was. Lighting a fire under somebody's ass is really just a way to get somebody else do what you want them to do, or be in line with your agenda, and being a morale booster/motivator is not much different.

Telling people they can live together as friends even though they have no reason to trust the person telling them that is a good way to get them accustomed to falling in line with an agenda. Gaining their trust, eliminating/crushing resistance to an agenda, and access to or control of something is the intention of someone that does that. People already know who their friends are in life.

Not everybody you meet in life is your friend, therefore it's unrealistic to think everybody will live together as friends if they never have.
Not everybody is your friend, and there's no good reason to trust somebody who thinks you need to unify with enemies.

Ah, The bad medicine. Salvia lasts about 10 to 20 minutes when smoked. For some, a noticeable effect is a feeling of heaviness of the body first, and somehow, at the same time exiting the physical body, and forgetting the person ever existed, and exists only as a tunnel of consciousness stretching across the universe. Physically thinking they are made of a truck seat, the truck seat is their body, and their body is the truck seat. Followed by pairs of eyes staring, and any attempt to drink a cup of water results in dry water pouring down the throat. Stuff like that, I see why it's tribal use is not in a smokeable form.
Take a hit of the Salvia it will put you in the trash can. It's so true it really will put you directly in the trash can, where you are trapped for 15 minutes before you escape.
