I can see where you're having trouble. I don't really know how to address it, but I see it
I understand this "ebb and tide" or "endless cycle of violence" as... just what it is. They are learning opportunities. For everyone. Opportunities to understand our selves.
I don't look at Jesus as a loser at all. To me, he is the perfect embodiment of the STO polarity. Even in the face of mass authoritarian persecution, he still maintained that polarity. That doesn't sound like a loser to me.
Put it this way: the alternative to maintaining positive polarity would have been to break down and give in to the negativity that he was faced with. This would have done... what exactly? Nothing. It would have done nothing. In maintaining positive polarity, Jesus set an example for all of us to follow. He taught us a lesson. To me, what he taught is invaluable. He made the ultimate sacrifice, and in doing so he taught us this lesson. Or he taught us this lesson by making the ultimate sacrifice... :p
To me, the lesson is that of acceptance. Jesus accepted the severe circumstances he was in with an open heart. It's nearly impossible for me to find words to convey how powerful this is.
Still, I see where you're hung up. This is just my view. Hope it helps a little bit
edit: I understand the thrust of what you're talking about a little more now. What I will add is that we are learning in a very "tough" school. I understand it's easy to view things as "bad," especially when the world seems to be run by evil men and women. Consider for a moment, that these "bad" people are perhaps hurting themselves, and in serving themselves, they are offering us an opportunity to learn, grow, and understand our selves more. For me, this perspective is fruitful. Be wary of nihilism
I don't want it to appear that I am condemning STS beings. I'm not. They do what they do for the love and light of the One Creator. They deserve as much love as anyone else. I had trouble phrasing that last paragraph, so I just want to make that clear. I don't necessarily believe that STS beings are hurting themselves, I just think it might be beneficial to view the question in the lens of "they might appear to be doing this thing, but in reality are doing another thing....." if someone can phrase it better, please do so
In the earthly, short-term viewpoint, yes I understand the nihilism and the "whats the point" mindset. Perhaps look at your question from a broader, more long-term viewpoint. Might help
be well and most of all
have
fun
