do you believe in the big bang? or intelligent design?
i ask because the origin of the idea you present here is that a random country X becomes a shitshow from some sort of random bang in space and time.. as opposed to being a plan designed by intelligent agents seeking a desires outcome.
Ex. reactive abuse is an in-the-moment reaction to mistreatment from another person. When a victim reacts, the abuser uses this reaction to impart further abuse in the form of blame-shifting. The abuser will transform into a victim themselves in an attempt to make the victim view the situation in a different way, and believe a different reality from the one that’s actually being lived. In this way, reactive abuse is often seen as a form of gaslighting, which is the emotional manipulation of a victim.
