Haven't peasant uprisings been said to be shameless since ancient times? Why are Boxers called men?

In Kurosawa's film "Seven Samurai", the comments on farmers are classic. "What do you think the farmers are? Do you think they are bodhisattvas? This is a joke. Farmers are the most cunning. They want rice, but they don't give rice. They want wheat and say no. In fact, they have everything. If you open the floor and have a look, you will find many things, such as rice, salt, beans and wine ... go deep into the valley and see the hidden rice fields. They are honest on the surface, but they are the best liars. They will lie anyway! As soon as a war is fought, we will kill the defeated soldiers and strengthen our weapons. Listen, the so-called peasants are the meanest, the most cunning, the most cowardly, the most cruel and the least capable. They are murderers. -"but ... who made them like this? It's you, it's your samurai, you all go to hell! Burning villages for war, ravaging fields, working at will, humiliating women and killing rebels, what do you want farmers to do? What should they do? "

The peasant rebels are also like this. They all say that they can be cruel, cunning and shameless, but what makes them like this? Is the landlord class, insatiable for land. They shamelessly use all kinds of privileges to squeeze out the last foothold from farmers, turn them into tenant farmers, and do everything possible to make them take high-interest loans. When the peasants fell down one by one in the cold winter, they sang poems in the comfortable tile house, cursing the peasants who stood up and resisted, and being humble servants, refused to starve to death honestly.
