When Cruelty Becomes Acceptable: The Escalation of Extremes

The text discusses the normalization of cruelty in ideologies, emphasizing that extremism evolves rather than collapses.

Crucially, original creators of ideologies can become threats to their own beliefs. History illustrates that once cruelty is normalized, moderation is perceived as weakness, resulting in inevitable escalation or collapse.
