This is not a discussion about star wars but this whole mentality applied to star wars fandom and its state.

What Rei says is also a big plot point of the universal century of gundam. That humanity will evolve to finally understand each other and stop fighting and killing each other over petty nonsense.
Char and amuro’s final battle shows humanity’s potential, as does the ending to Gundam Unicorn. In the former, char makes a point about how human beings are still so cruel enough that they would destroy their own planet and asks amuro if he understands that and amuro responds with “that’s why we have to show humanity the way” or something to that effect.

I know. I’m saying that gundam makes this exact point throughout it’s main series.
About how humanity has the potential to learn and grow in order to stop conflicts

It actually little bit different as the point of Eva and this quotes is less about politic more about depression as the whole Eva series is a commentary of Japanese depression due to obsession with Otaku culture. It talk about how fan unable to grow up and fall into escapism thus the franchise unable to grow.

I’m aware. I’m saying that what Rei says is pretty much the point that gundam’s making.

For those none Eva fan out there. The curse of Eva in New movie is a cursed that cause our main protagonist literally unable to grow up. The main character has been stuck as 14 years old boy despite being over 30 years.
This was deliberate by the director who stated this meant to target the fandom who aren't able to grow up and face reality.
