"Now essentially just a tool for tyrants to expert control over people who refuse to listen to anything else."

Was it ever anything else?

Originally it was used to lift up the oppressed so they could overthrow those in power and have the tyranny for themselves.

That's the story they've been telling themselves so long that nobody really knows for sure. They certainly didn't allow any other narrative once they took control of every government they could.

The original narrative was that it was intended to get the poors to be content with their situation, but they included too much about being righteous so it ended up with being used to overthrow.
